Level 35

[YorKarma]

Hi, I finally reached LvL 30 ... glad to have paint shop, battery chg, interior cleaning and Dino.
Looking forward, I noticed at LvL 35 there is " Spacious Back Yard " 50% off Parking Levels.
I haven't paid for any parking slots that i am aware of. Does this mean in the future I can purchase more parking ? Or am I not noticing a hidden charge? Thanks

Yep, you can buy a LOT of parking garage levels. You can buy them now, but since you're only five levels away from that discount, might as well wait. Each level costs more than the last. They get pretty expensive.

No hidden charges.

It's the blue door on right if you're facing the exit doors of the garage. Click it and you will have option to look at parking garage. You get first level "0" to begin with I believe.....been long time so don't remember fer sure.

great thanks ... haven't filled first level yet, so in no rush. I never even saw that option. I'll go check it out. Thanks.

I started with 2 levels

You can buy a whole lot more. You'll need 'em too, because you might become a pack rat and decide you want one of every vehicle and its variants, if it has them. And then you might want to have a few different versions of each of those. And then one day you might get into the Editor, and decide to save a few of those that you created.

great .... I looked around ... i used the door to parking a lot, but still do not know where to go to buy more space in the future , or does that perk open at LvL 35? I'm LvL 31 now . Where in my garage or parking is the link to buy more?

[Mardoin69]

When you click on the door a menu comes up. Notice there's the parking level 0 then parking level 1 and 2 if you have the first two. If you click on the garage and own it, you'll see an option to go to that parking level. If you don't own it, you'll see an option to purchase it.

On the last pic, you can't see that I've clicked on the level I haven't bought yet. But when you click on a level you don't own, that menu will be displayed. You can purchase, or back out.

You can also choose to pull a car from the garage without having to enter the garage itself.

You should be able to buy as many as you want, but I don't remember. That perk just gives you the huge discount. So if you have levels 0 and 1, click on level 2, and that prompt will appear, asking if you want to buy it. Then level 3 will appear to be available for purchase, and so on down the list. The levels you haven't purchased will have an empty menu on the right, instead of the 12-car slots menu that is displayed with purchased levels.

Buy 10 levels to get the Parking Boy Achievement. I'm not there yet, but at the rate I'm going, it won't be long. I have 4 full and I am working on the 5th with 3 slots left. I only have about half restored.

@SkinGravel:

I notice you've got a lot of cars in parking and they're pretty much placed randomly.

I have a written a program that allows you to organise your parking and put your cars in any garage/order you please. You can run it in real-time as it's synced with the game or you can run it stand alone without the game running. But essentially you can place cars in any order in your garage(s), and move cars from one garage to another.

Here I have all my 32 Fords. I'm building a 32 Ford rat rod at the moment so have a couple of old chassis I found in the junk yard stored here too. It's really convenient to have them all in one place.

Give me a shout if you want to try it out and we can figure out a way I can get it to you. You could be a tester for me. It works well for me so would be interested to see how it goes for someone else.

Cheers.

@JillnDave..... that sounds like an awesome mod.... a lot of us been asking for dev's to make garage sorting a thing. Should load it up to MS OneDrive and make it public. If you have Win10 then you get Xamount of drive space for uploading files to for free. There's other sites offering this ofc but, OneDrive just seemed like the easy choice since it's already built in to Win10

@Marddoin69: I'm happy to put it on the modding forum, but really just want someone else to test it first. You want to volunteer?

[SkinGravel]

@jillndave I'd love to test it for you, but I don't use mods. I've tried subscribing to mods twice, and both times, they screwed up my profile, so I had to replace it with a backup. I really don't know why they give me grief. There are so many awesome mods out there I'd love to subscribe to. I'm in the minority when it comes to that; it seems mods work fine for most of you all. It's an anomaly that I've never been able to solve, so I just stick with creating new config builds in the editor for my own pleasure, even though it's a pretty limiting tool. ;)

I'd be honored to test it for you, but I'm wary of doing so. Also, if your program did screw up my profile, it probably wouldn't be your fault. It would more than likely be a faulty baseline on my end.

It sure looks like an awesome program, though, and everyone would be delighted to have it. Would quickly become a top-tier, must-have mod. That's for damn sure. People will download the hell out of it.

Cheers to you, too, and much love. Thanks for offering to test it.

[Mardoin69]

@JillnDave...sure I'd test it. Post a link to your dropbox / OneDrive so I can get it.

@SkinGravel.....have you tried installing mods directly into the game's "cars" folder? I do it that way cuz I tend to play with steam in offline mode quite often. You have to subscribe, then go into SteamApps\Workshop\Content folder and fine the numbered one for this game. Inside the mods are in folders with some numbers but, you look to see which cars they are and rename the folder appropriately. Then drag / drop to the games' cars folder. After which, unsubscribe from the mod so Steam doesn't try to download it again. I always suggest people favorite whichever mods they install for future reference....in case something happens and they don't know which mod might be missing from their system.

@ Mardoin69... Thanks for volunteering to test it. Here's a link to my drop box file. I will keep it in there for a day or so - until you have received it. Let me know once you've picked it up.

BTW - I totally agree with you about making mod cars permanently part of your game. It is a much much better way to go. I have also written a program that adds downloaded mod cars to the game permanently. It shows a list of all of your download cars, and you simply click the ones you want to add and then click the add button. Job done. Let me know if interested in that too.
