i'm a car nut?

[opaque pasture]

Approved!

[astral spruce]

@opaque pasture remember me from the 2 empty rooms on my hotel?

Built these under the rooms, and the last room up there is a cinema room

idk my screenshots go so low quality

[stiff thicket]

Still disappointed I couldn’t use the turret

[opaque pasture]

I do yeah! Did spreading the crops help?

Those last shots too. As soon as you bring your cars into the living space you are a certified car nut! I approve even more! You seem to have a healthy obsession with aircooled VW's as well which grants you another gold star in the margins. Even in the biggest collection I've amassed in my many games, VW and Porsche got a section of their own. This is the only shot I've got from that rn, but that part of the collection grew over time.

VW's have a special place in my heart! ❤️

Ngl I’m the opposite where I speed run to the dedicated spawn location of the fast and furious R34 skyline and get it back in one piece

If I can’t get it since I’m playing on a different map mod IE PEI

I’ll debug mode and spawn it in after a certain milestone

[opaque pasture]

There's a dedicated spawn point for it? I love tuner cars too, so... Where? I have literally hundreds of car addons so it may not spawn there for me every time, but I will make that run in a well armored car and lots of ammo for my M16A2.

As long as you don’t change anything for the map tile there. It should be out in the driveway

Mint condition. Treat her nicely

[opaque pasture]

I have a lot of map addons and I fear that area might be one of them. But I'll take a look next time I play for sure. I'm based right outside Riverside in the trailer park on this playthrough so it isn't THAT long of drive to get there. I saw it once in Pitstop, but never got as far as collecting it and I haven't seen it there since.

[astral spruce]

I have a huge passion with VW, especially the bettle and the van, they are pretty commom here where i live and they are just perfect!

Working on my muldraugh project but i will drive to RiverSide to show you my real garage

[opaque pasture]

Ooooh, you found a supercharged Challenger too? Great find!

I've only ever seen one of those, but it was a true unicorn.

Can't wait to see the rest of your collection!

[astral spruce]

Just got here, thats a long drive

Wish i could send good quality ss

Empty garage because theres no more cars to have fun with on riverside

[astral spruce]

this police skin is so good in it, do you still have it?

my truck convoy, and next project will be destroying everything and make a massive garage, but i need floor tiles first lol

[opaque pasture]

Yes and no. It's still there on an old save. But I start over a lot. I like the challenge of a new beginning.

Looks like this base is across the street from my current base, the one from the "Why do I always do this?" thread. 😄
I based up in the main house at the trailer park across from your spot.

I love what you've done with that storage lot. Looks great and quite a few gems in there!

[opaque pasture]

This Mini caught my attention though. Can you mod any Mini to look like this or is that a specific version of it? I have that mod, but I've never seen one like that.

All those toolboxes too. Beautiful details!

[astral spruce]

The stripes are unique, the roofwrack and the bumber lights you can craft

I saw your thread, you have a BIG, BIIIIIIIIIIG collection, i loved it

i got all nice cars from riverside and rosewood, plus their surroudings, thats why im working on muldraugh now hehe

[opaque pasture]

Aren't there fender flares and a hood scoop and stuff as well? Can you put those things on any Mini?

Appreciate that. I do that a lot. Some games last longer than others. I've had more cars than that and the mats to restore them plus build buildings to house them in from scratch. I sub and unsub from mods a lot and some times that breaks my games so I don't even know if I can load the old ones any more.

I usually play each game for about one RL week each and then I try to compile a list of what causes errors, see if I can fix them or unsub to mods, and start over.

The idea is to at some point create a closed server for me and my closest friends. But I want to get it as error free and mod filled as possible. That takes time when I haven't learned the "coding language" of PZ yet. A lot of trial and error and the only way I can figure out what works is by actually playing for a while.

[astral spruce]

i wish you good luck on this journey, and the server would be perfect with all mods withou any error, imagine

yes you can put them on any minis, the mini with a chair on top is a unique Mr Beans version

and the dog car is named Pitbull, i never saw anything like that before, i have to build a room for him

this is my first long save, i was just like you playing 1 week each save, then doing another one.

but this save i got real lucky on cars and dindt want to lose them, its being a fun journey, after muld i will go to WestPoint and there is going to be a lot of cars hehe

[opaque pasture]

Dog car? Wich one? I actually don't have the mr. Bean part of the Mini mod activated. I lost all interest when I discovered I can't sit on the roof and drive it so I just disabled it so it wouldn't "pollute" the pool of cars that can spawn. I've got a lot of them and there are still cars I know I have that I've never seen 😄

Some times you're lucky with car spawns for sure. Looks like you've great success on this one for sure! One of my longest games the last 6 months was the VW/Porsche collection linked further up with this being the expansion (Before/after walls and roofs and different angles)

That game only lasted long enough to collect and restore all those cars because I found so many good cars. But there were conflicting map mods on that game so I had to remove one and start over to fix things.

[astral spruce]

sorry, its this one, but since it was dark you cant see it, but it has a tongue out of the hood and some cat theth also! pretty cool find. would be awesomee to drive mr beans car from the chair lmao

[astral spruce]

OH GOD THAT MIATA WITH RALLY TIRES. SHOULD BE A ROOM JUST FOR HIM THATS BEATIFUL

[opaque pasture]

Oh, that's the dog car? Gotcha. Pretty cool and IIRC that's not a part of the mod that can't be disabled. Unlike the mr. Bean version. It's in my game as well I suppose, but I never seen it. I love that hood scoop and fender flares though!

[astral spruce]

and your garage is a huuge project, thats an awesome job, getting all the tiles and building up must have taken some time. and you collection is really great too

[opaque pasture]

I KNOW! It's perfect. And notice the Pontiac Fiero straight across from it in a similar "rally raid" spec too! Even with a stock Fiero next to it for comparison. They're placed like that for a reason. The Miata on "tuner row" and the Fiero on "muscle car row" but those two specifically placed across from each other 😉

[astral spruce]

after seeing the miata my eyes went directly to the r32 lol

i have to pay attention to each one because each detail counts hehe

[opaque pasture]

That R32 was so ratty when I found it and no amount of work made it look "pristine" since it was rusty. So I just went all out "zombie raid" spec on that one.

[astral spruce]

i like to have my armored cars ready to use while the collection ones i never touch them, it sucked being at night but all these are armored

[astral spruce]

i have to download the r32 mod, focusing on realism and surviving i did not put that many sports cars mods, but now im adding a few every day or so

[astral spruce]

3 black supras. imagine having that on a real life garage

[opaque pasture]

I could tell you put a lot of work and resources into all those cars tbh. I only missed the dog part of that Mini I loved.

[astral spruce]

three black widows

[opaque pasture]

There's only one Supra. The other two are 300ZX and an NSX to the left of the Supra.

But all in black... Lucky AF.

[astral spruce]

they looked the same i cant zoom in to see 😣

i will tow some cars and then go to riverside to show you the PitBull on daylight hehe

[opaque pasture]

One 300ZX with glass T-tops and the other solid roof. Had to keep them both 😄

Every single one of the cars in that collection were never really meant for driving. Just collecting. But they were all ready to go. Full tank of gas, performance suspension, brakes and tires and 100% engine. If I had to go any of them would do. But my actual driving cars were parked outdoors.

But I gotta put more work into my future collections. I love how you've got sofas and misc items in every garage. I need to do more than that. That was the plan with this as well but just setting up that building took for ever and a lot of mods.

But I did build it all with a hammer, nails and chopping/cutting wood.

[astral spruce]

for me thats the beauty, putting some hard work to see your project finally done.

doing some work hehe

i like to think on the cars being just as furniture, because they are beatifull as same hehe

[astral spruce]

must took some time to do that, i must confess that some of my cars are not 100% ready to go, like the VW vans at the hotel, they are ugly and full of blood because they are car wrecks!

but its necessary to have them 100% so the blood and details dissapears

this will be a big challengers collection

[opaque pasture]

It is indeed. I don't even have pics of the "holding lot" outside my property with cars waiting for restoration on that save. This is part of it at the top left, but the pic was taken to showcase the BeamNG Grand Marshall and ETK collection watiing to get restored. Or waiting for the collection space to be expanded, And the row of Fox Mustangs. The two Chevy wagons at the bottom right were at the resto spot where mats were stored and cars were repaired. I believe they are both in the earlier screenshots.

I did have an early shot of the holding lot, but a lot of those cars are already in the collection in the screenshots

[opaque pasture]

There are so many versions of the Challenger! I was so lucky in my "big collection" to find so many different ones, but even those aren't even half of them.

Gotta catch'em all!

[astral spruce]

every time i see a red rally car i remember of the meme ''samir you breaking the car'' and die of laughter

[opaque pasture]

🤣

[astral spruce]

thats really a lot of cars! i have to download some of your mods for sure

now i see that my collection is small

[opaque pasture]

That video killed the career of a talented and successful rally driver. Just because the co-driver had no idea what he was doing 😛

[astral spruce]

he did a really good job on driving with that guy IMO, because all i could see is a good driver

he did no mistakes

some, but not many

which mod creators collection do you use the most?

[opaque pasture]

Exactly. The co driver was panicking and giving terrible pace notes. Then it was edited together terribly. It actually killed Samirs career. He was on his way to WRC fame when that came out but it never came to be because of that.

It's a funny video, but kinda sad that things went sour for the driver.

[astral spruce]

im browsing on my mods and now i've seen that 90% is Ki5

downloaded the r32 already, hope to see it on this save

[opaque pasture]

I don't really unsub to car mods. They're mostly good, good enough and/or better than vanilla. And I like cars to be rare so I thrive on variety.

fhqwhgads pack, StarFireReaper 1993 vehicle pack

KI5

and ExtraNoise

The BeamNG cars are just because I love BeamNG as well and it's fun seeing those cars in PZ as well, but they are from various creators afaik.

A few others here and there. Sort of smaller mod creators. But those are the major ones. Add cars from their workshop and you'll be drowned in options.

Also mods to replace burnt out wrecks with restorable cars, even mods, that are all in less than 10% condition.

StarFireReapers pack adds a lot of common vehicles of the time. There are no mods/armor etc for them. But they are great fillers and creates a more natural variety of cars. But ofc it makes the good rarer.

That mod alone adds 231 cars to the game...

[astral spruce]

Thanks for the suggestions, i actually dont use any of them

I just use ki5 and FillBusters, and some other random ones that i liked

I will download all these, hope my game dont crash hehe

I just dont like overpowered vehicles, like military tanks and apc, stuff that makes you invulnerable is no fun for me

[opaque pasture]

The StarFire pack adds a lot of cars I consider to be mostly filler, but there are gems among the 231 cars it adds. It appears to be made in collaboration with ExtraNoise, but the mods he does solo are VERY detailed and moddable/armorable ingame.

[astral spruce]

Mods that i love are the detailed ones, some cars you can see their engine and the actual battery model of the game, their doors opening and closing, thats the pure gem of car mods

[opaque pasture]

The fhqwhgads pack also has a separate die-cast model pack so you can have model cars of the real cars as well 😉

[opaque pasture]

I agree. But I don't want every parking lot full of cars I want. I kinda like that there are cars I just don't care about too.

It makes it that much more satisfying to find the ones I like.

[astral spruce]

I have a lot of vanilla cars yet on the map parking lots, and i find they usefull

I can discard them, i can use them for parts, i can use them for all purposes

And some are actually nice if on a good condition

Next update doors will be a real thing, so even more love for some vanilla cars

[astral spruce]

i never had this many sports cars, muldraugh is being dissapointing on cars so far.

[astral spruce]

muldraugh project is a truck stop, rusty is too small to build big projects

some for sale cars hehe

any truck driver favorite place

[opaque pasture]

TBH a lot of the cars in those packs use regular vanilla car parts as well and many of them can quite easily be sacrificed. Only there to avoid having parking lots full of Nyalas. TWO of the supercharged Challengers as well? I'm very jelly. Only one I've ever seen is the police one. Ever.

Muldraugh itself doesn't have a ton of large parking lots. Not the greatest place for car hoarding. The intersection between Muldraugh and March Ridge is often a goldmine for cars though. Unless you still have burnt out wrecks in your game in which case there'll be lots of those there. Nice source for materials anyway.
