📋 About This Mod
This one was made for fun but is still nice and usable car for cruising around Mojave. Car is drivable and handles well. It is made to be a little cheater because gas mileage has been minimized and it doesn't break easily. So slightly different from Frontier cars. Pip-Boy and fast travel still work while driving.
Features
Changed settings from standard Hermes car to be little faster and lower. Changed the model slightly, cleaned up the texture and added environment maps to get that colour changing surface.
How to Drive?
Activating front of the car gets you driving. Activating rear lets you use the trunk, refuel and adjust the map marker on/off(default off). Car can be repaired with Repair Thermic Lance and Scrap Metal.
Where to find it?
If one happens to wander around El Dorado Gas Station, he might stumble on to a treasure.
Garage
Wanted to find a garage with a door but found out it is actually quite rare that buildings insides are in wasteland cell space. Always when you go through a door you are teleported to another cell space. So I made a little garage which has big enough door to drive through and fits a car a nicely inside.
Requirements
The Frontier is needed. Using vehicle system and other assets from Frontier files.
