Real Shop mod (realism)

[Fets]

This mod was created with the aim of adding more realism to the game. In real life, it's unlikely that you can buy a new body part or engine for cars older than 2005. In this mod, I'm trying to address this issue to introduce more realism. There's still a lot of work to be done, but you can already experience and evaluate a certain part of the new gameplay. I hope you'll enjoy this challenge because now, to assemble an old car, you'll have to visit junkyards, auctions, or barns to find the necessary parts. Since the mod is in its early stages of development, I highly recommend starting to play with it after you've unlocked all the repair tools in your garage and explored the entire branch of body part repairs. Good luck in restoring retro cars! 😊

IMPORTANT AND RECOMMENDED! It is recommended to use this mod only after unlocking the entire branch for repairing parts and purchasing the necessary machines for repairing body and other parts.

Key Features:

1. Junkyards, barns, and auctions now play a significant role in the game.
2. A wide range of car parts for vehicles older than 2005 is currently disabled in the shopping catalog.
3. Access to some auction features is restricted.
4. Access to the car dealership is restricted.
5. All body and interior parts can be repaired.
6. Configuration file allows for customization, including:
- Changing the year for cars that will not appear in the shop (add name to config section).
- Customizing the key binding to enable or disable the mod.
- Maintaining a list of old engines and parts that are no longer sold in the store, such as "(I3)", "(I6 B)", "(V8)", "(V8 OHV)".
- Whitelist addition: If a desired item is not available or not displayed in the store, it can be added to the configuration file whitelist for visibility.
 - You can enable or disable visiting the store. You can also enable or disable the auction where higher-quality cars were sold
 - Adding or removing specific brands from the list that won't appear in the shop.

Now the following items are available for expansion: "I4 DT224", "I4 204PT", "V8 392 Hemi", "V10 OHV MT8", "V10 OHV", "V12 AM11", "B6 MA", "B6 M64", "eDen-1H", "Proton e-R", and etc.

It's important to note that many parts in the shop will be unavailable, making regular visits to junkyards necessary. Non-default items can't be found in the shop, but can be discovered in barns, auctions, or junkyards and then repaired. Make sure to replace the old configuration file with the new one.

With this mod, realism is brought closer to the game. Enjoy the enhanced experience!

let's try ))

so I tried it. i've bought LR Discovery (2017) and i can't find V6 AJD parts in shop at all. after adding "V6 AJD" in white list section nothing changes. where i was wrong and how can i fix it?

[Fets]

Hi!

I added support for "V6 AJD" to the WhiteCarParts section, and everything worked well for me. Feel free to use my version, and if you encounter any issues, please let me know! Have a great game :-)

 
WhiteCarParts = [... ,"V6 AJD", ]

PS. and I recommend using the latest version of the mod: 0.2.5. at the moment. :-)

i never had a problem buying new parts or engines for my old trucks

Seems like a lot of work, when you can do all this with just a bit of self discipline. (except #5)
Kudos for being able to do mods, I can't.

Buying old car parts is nearly impossible now... In the latest update, it's been added that the older the car, the more expensive its parts become... and they've become quite pricey :-)

Now, putting together a vintage car is neither cheap nor easy :-) There's still a lot of work to be done on the mod, but you can already try the latest version with changes in prices based on different age categories of cars!

Have a great game and good luck - you'll need it here :-)

Ok that makes more sense to me. :-)

one more question. how to disable or customise rule for repairing everything? I want to see tires, filters and other consumables damaged and need to be replaced with new ones

[Fets]

Unfortunately, at the moment, I haven't implemented this functionality :-( but you can always disable the mod on-the-fly by pressing the F9 key directly in the game or change this action to another hotkey combination in the configuration file.

I know you put a lot of work into the mod and do appreciate that, not trying to put it down in any way but you can find parts for old vehicles from different places, I like rock auto, they carry a huge amount of parts.

[Archi]

well, I tried this: WhiteCarParts = [ "V6 AJD", "V8 AJ133", "V8 M177 DBX"...
and it doesn't work, i still can't find parts from v6 ajd or aj133 in parts shop. any suggestions?

[Archi]

also there aren't parts for V8 M177 but parts for M177 DBX are available. both type of parts are from same engine, aston martin 2022.

the question is:

i need a solution to assemble engines like v6 AJD, v8 AJ133, V8 M177 DBX
OR
a solution to add any type of engine to whitecarparts. now it looks like this:
WhiteCarParts = [ "V8 M177", "V6 AJD", "V8 AJ133", "V8 M177 DBX", .... and it obviously doesn't work

btw, F9 disable mod ONLY in shop. when i tried to repair smth with mod disabled, i found same parts like filters or tyres. so this part also doesn't work correctly.

i just want to play this wonderful game with such incredible mod =D that's why i try to use it in bunch of cases =D

Thank you for identifying the issues. I will try to fix them as soon as possible!
