@Spider If you're a car person you will know that you would care about it, therefore care for the parts that it has. Just now I put some specific oil to help the engine work better without dying faster. There's also plays with the RPM that you can do to keep the engine healthy. I have taught myself to drive my car at 1000rpm per gear(recommended 2000) because I've taken my time to put the better liquids in the car, so when I got the car I was near breaking the parts inside it because I was a beginner driver and now the engine is magically better because I became a better driver and learnt more about the cars.

i dont know why but the car engine quality magically getting better as you become a better drives seems a lil funny to me :steamhappy:

Mod works just fine, if you're seeing something broken you have mod conflicts.

I cant read the books in MP server and they worked before Q_Q

Doesn't seem to be broken to me, but I just started so who knows. What's broken for you?
BrasileirinhoPe Feb 2 @ 12:25pm 
broken. SAD!

It's the Lifestyle mod that is in conflict with the books. I disabled it and driving books remembered how to book.

Mod Driving Skill books EN doesn't fix the issue that books are unreadable (the read option won't pop up and error comes up).
JaxCZE Jan 21 @ 4:43am 
It seems that the driving skill works as intended on dedicated MP server, but the books are not working and there is no mod to tweak driving skill multiplier.

Works on hosted MP for me
Pylose Jan 5 @ 3:27am

the mod does not work in multiplayer. 20000 errors and kept rising.
Miskov Jan 2 @ 2:11pm 
I confirm that the skillbooks do not work, they cannot be read :/
austiinos Dec 19, 2023 @ 5:05pm 
@absolute to know if its working is when you're adding traits to your character. There's a good driver trait that give +1 into this new made skill
Paskky Dec 16, 2023 @ 8:29am 
The Cab Driver profession isn't there when you respawn. Can you please fix it? I have to restart the server each time.
Absolute Dec 13, 2023 @ 3:10pm 
How do I know if this mod is working, it shows up I thought you drive slow at level 0 or is it the opposite sorry just having a hard time understanding how it works.
Technic235 Dec 5, 2023 @ 8:01pm 
@Toasterdude Which mods add those traits? I went looking and couldn't find them because Steam's search system sucks/doesn't look in the description for search terms. Based on a *very* quick look, my guess is this code within this mod is what overrides all the other mods. (It sets various stats without taking into account current what the stats already are at, causing an overwrite)


function UpdateTheCar (vehicle, brakeForce, brakeForceMult, engineQuality, engineQualityMult, engineLoudness, engineLoudnessMult, enginePower, enginePowerMult, maxSpeed, maxSpeedMult)
vehicle:setBrakingForce(brakeForce * brakeForceMult);
vehicle:setEngineFeature(engineQuality * engineQualityMult, engineLoudness * engineLoudnessMult, enginePower * enginePowerMult);
vehicle:setMaxSpeed(maxSpeed * maxSpeedMult);
vehicle:update();
end

This mod removes other modded driving traits such as Off roader, student driver, and expert driver
Jaw Spirit Nov 9, 2023 @ 5:05am 
The driving books do not seem to work, they have no read option and upon right clicking them it procs and error.
Legenbone Oct 4, 2023 @ 12:16pm 
@angel taco Or you can just get a car and pin it slowly against a wall or smth, then turn on cruise control. It will count as driving yet the car won't move, and exp will be awarded. Now you can AFK and return to lv10 driving lol
Also - regarding exp gain chance in sandbox, is it higher the number, higher the chance?
Torkkar Sep 25, 2023 @ 4:22am 
@Feint that happens at level 10 the traits not removed but the boost at ten counters sunday driver.... TBH I'd HATE to see what a speed demon would be like at level 10
feint Aug 24, 2023 @ 1:55pm 
Would be great if you can make sunday driver disappear after you get your driving skill past say level 5
HolographicWings Aug 21, 2023 @ 10:37am 
can you add a support to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2988491347 ? to don't get XP when using a bike

Engine Power is applied as much as Driving Lv when you are in a car, but when you get out of the car and enter the maintenance window for maintenance, you have noticed that the engine power is back to the previous figure and is fixed Is there a solution?
sosku10 Jul 2, 2023 @ 7:51am 
I drive...
SharleBu Jun 26, 2023 @ 9:56pm

"I drive"
angel taco May 30, 2023 @ 3:38pm 
guys i have a way to powerlevel this skill
so basically you want to go onto a big straight road (usually a highway) and start driving up until your full speed. when you are going super fast let off the gas and start coasting to a stop. make sure you speed up time to the max!!!! the car still goes at the speed it would if time was going normally, but the xp for this skill ticks up really fast because you sped up time!! keep grinding this for like a month ingame and youll have level 10 driving in no time
your welcome in advance

As a reference to other folk:

I don't use controlled impact and this mod still lists thousands of errors whilst in a car.

I do use a fairly extensive modlist though so it's likely some conflict with something else but even then I'd just wait for an update or alternative version since it does seem that this doesn't play well with other mods that affect driving in any way.
Scroobles McDoodle May 29, 2023 @ 3:50am 
To everyone asking, yes this does work on multiplayer. It runs perfectly fine on my dedicated server.
Kpeaze May 21, 2023 @ 4:02pm 
can you lose sunday driver by leveling your driving skill? if not, it should be added :3
Bonkobinioum Mar 20, 2023 @ 12:08pm 
Does anybody know if this mod will work in multiplayer?
VoidAurora Feb 16, 2023 @ 3:25pm 
Not Compatible with "Controlled Impact" by Vilespring
Noire Feb 15, 2023 @ 2:39am 
Don't think this mod work either single play or multi. Anyone can confirm this mod work?
Senpai Feb 5, 2023 @ 10:39pm 
Hi, I'm on server with this mod, and I already have driving at lvl 5 and I remove the perk but I do not remove dizzy and constantly I have heat for the debuff, I do not know how to fix it.
l GH l NDCasmera Feb 2, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
maybe some good idea, make it so that at skill level X, driving and reading is enabled?
JOMBi Jan 25, 2023 @ 3:38am 
@ShadetheSilent I got the same when I ran this mod with "controlled impact" installed
ShadetheSilent Jan 19, 2023 @ 6:26pm 
Does anyone know whether this mod is incompatible with others in particular? When I tried to use it, not only did the skill never, ever, go up regardless of how much I drove around, but it also accumulated literally *tens of thousands* of errors as I did said driving.

Hi, I'm representing a larger server and was wondering if we could please put your mod in a mod pack for our server. This is specifically for our own manageability, reduced workshop update restarts, version control, and server longevity between wipes. The modpack would be private and all recognition of the mods inside will be given to the owners of those mods. We appreciate any leeway you can give us on this, so we can provide our players with the best experience.
taeyang24 Jan 9, 2023 @ 10:39am 
Is there a solution for what errors just happening consitantly when I cursored on the book?
HardwiredMike Jan 9, 2023 @ 10:34am 
Thanks for the mod! You do great work!
AureliusR0MANA Jan 1, 2023 @ 7:23pm 
can someone reupload a updated mod that isn't ignored by the creator
CrAsYsTaR Dec 31, 2022 @ 1:29pm 
PLEASE MAKE BOOKS NAMES FIT VANILA BOOK NAMEZ
Horny Paladin Dec 3, 2022 @ 5:07am 
Where could i find a list of incompatible mods for this since i cant seem to get the mod working on my server.
Rukio Nov 17, 2022 @ 7:13am 
Adding to the noise, would love if you came back and updated this! Definitely something that could be considered amazing for base game
Myself Nov 15, 2022 @ 11:13pm 
Theres a mistake where when you set loudness via setEngineFeature, the loudness of the car appears to be set about 1/2.75 times the loudness parameter you entered. So using this mod will lower the effective loudness of vehicles.
