Popular suggestions:
1. Option to turn mini games off and on

2. Search term stays after closing shop and reopening (unlike cms 18), annoying to manually clear the field each time

3. Ability to buy short and long block crate motor added link for Dev team reference https://www.autolist.com/guides/short-block-vs-long-block-engine

4. Option to switch the qwerty keyboard to azerty keyboard.

5. Option or place or tool to adjust suspension height in game i think adjustment tool would be easiest option to add

6. Building cars from scratch for customers link to feasible idea

7. Blank livery templates for base game cars to make it easier for user created liveries for base game cars

8. Gearbox/transmission repair DLC with more detailed repairs

9. FOV slider adjustment

Eliminate junk and parts repair. You should be able to scrap parts, but scrap has no use other than fixing body and suspension parts only. None of this upgrading performance parts to three stars. These mini games make me want to stick a socket attached to an impact wrench on my chest and turn it on high, just for stimulation.
The ability to pick parts off cars in the junk yard. I don't know of any junkyard that only lets you buy the whole car. Rummaging through these piles is mind numbing.
Transmission fluid, and filter.
Differential gear replacement, and grease.
Open up the whole front of the shop to allow for an office.
NPC's who actually bring in their car.
Clean up this mess on the grounds.
Fixable and sellable bus and shop truck.
More cars at the shop.
Break lines
Wiring Harness
Gaskets. Head, Valve cover, transmission and oil pan gaskets.

Agree completely with this!

In fact, I edited my huge suggestion list above to include it.

Personally, I couldn't give a toss about the badge - and that's basically all that "licensed cars" offer - a badge.

In fact, I have another suggestion in the same vein: If we just have the option to change a brand name & the badge logo, the development team could forget about spending money and resources on licensed cars all together. Let the modding community do it for those who care. As a bonus, it would make all the modded "licensed" cars consistent with the ones in the game.

buy shiping containers full parts and cars

I have got a little over 100 hours into this game and would say that being able to drop a whole axle or sub-frame (suspension and all) as one piece then being able to disassemble or assemble another one on a table would save players a little bit of hassle.

Flavor text for fictional/unlicensed cars, to bring each model to life. Stuff like the history of that model, maybe some fun story about how it was designed/engineered/manufactured (the original top gear did something like this for the ford transit of all vehicles) and maybe a bit about recalls and common mechanical problems for that model)

Random backstories for auctioned cars. Could be anything from "this car was T-boned at an intersection" (with missing panels and suspension on that side) to "this car was wrecked when some moron oiled the track" to "this car belonged to a kid with rich parents and no clue how to drive stick"

I suggested this before but I want to revisit it but give different vehicles a wider variety of layouts Some cars could have the battery and other stuff in the trunk for better weight distribution, or use a transaxle even though they're front engine RWD, there could be a minivan where the engine is accessed from inside the cabin like the toyota previa, and I think theres even a french car IRL with the engine upside down. Right now every car seems pretty similar under the hood, and therefore has to be serviced in more or less the same way (unless it's FWD or doesn't have an OBD port.)

Certain wheels should be mirrored depending on which side of the car you mount them on. Right now if you mount certain rims (like the salad shooters) the spokes will be pointing the wrong way on one side

guage clusters, center consoles and sound/infotainment systems should be removable/repairable parts. Certain customer orders could involve installing modern sound/gps systems into older cars. Also, the 80s bolt reptilia should totally have a digital dash. Could also add a guage calibration minigame.

Flesh out engine swaps. Right now you just order an aftermarket gearbox and drop the new engine right in but I'm seeing youtube videos where people have to cut away part of the engine block or sledgehammer the firewall the make space for the new engine. Also read about people having to upgrade diffs, fuel systems (please add more components to the fuel system) move the steering rack for more clearance, and ripping the guage cluster out of the donor car to save time. Also what if we could fabricate custom headers or engine blocks from salvage?

Ability to turn wheels in editor.

Thank you.

Spatially distinct alternative workshops, not just the minor texture selections we have right now. I am royally sick of the current workshop and its eternal sand and sunlight. Multiple junkyards w/different layouts and loot specialties would also be great. The experience of moving around the game world is intolerably old and busted to me at this point, nearly as much so as repairing the same tiny amount of suspension layouts over and over again. Mod support and/or DLC for those concepts would be appreciated.

Add adjustable suspension PLEASE!!

[LadyBoss85]

PLEASE
I have 187 pages of items , when I go into the paint booth.
Can you please make that the same as the inventory, so I do not have to scroll over 100 pages to find the rims I want to paint ?
Thanx a million !

Suggestion for Car Auction:
I love to rebuild cars and sell them, sometimes keep them. But it would be nice to sell cars at the auction, not just buying them from the auction.

Clean up this mess on the grounds.

At latest version, there is new garage customization option to clean up trash a little. (name "Garbage&Damage")

It'd be nice if we could buy a complete engine. Like a crate engine. I was really hoping for this in CMS 21

[Kilgrove]

So there's a bunch I would love to see in the game honestly. Some of this could be gated behind hard-mode or just turned on or off in the options.

1. Pipes and wires - having pipes and wires on an engine would definitely cool (e.g. wires to the ignition coils, pipes from the radiator to the engine, etc.)
2. Air Conditioning - this includes the compressor, heater core, etc. which we could troubleshoot when a customer complains their A/C isn't heating or isn't cooling
3. Full OBD - in a hard mode or option on, the OBD is an actual tablet which shows values, codes, and so forth for a given engine. An easy mode could just run a scan and show you the faulty components while a hard mode requires you actually check O2 values, timing, etc.
4. Fuses actually do something - have fuses actually do something and you have to check them with the multi meter (see 5)
5. Actual multi-meter - use the DC voltage mode, current modes, continuity mode, to check specific components (or turn an option off so you can have the current system of automatic diagnosis of all electrical components). One elaboration would be checking the battery voltage then turning on the car to check the alternator, etc.
6. Torque specs - use a torque wrench to turn bolts to spec, make it optional but it gives extra EXP if you do do it (like examinations)
7. Don't have to completely strip certain areas just to replace one part - this is VERY unrealistic; you don't always have to strip 12 parts to get one out. One major example is removing the head to remove the pistons; you can remove the head with the camshafts, spark plugs, etc. in it still then place it right back on.
8. Gaskets - doing head and valve gasket replacements would be cool
9. Examination clues (optional mode) - examination gives you hints like "oil is leaking from the seam between the head and the block", "the oil collected is frothy and milky", etc.

And we could go on and on.
