Will you be updating this to B42?

cool mod, but lacks settings in the sandbox.

Halo text instead of speech text would've looked better for notifications.

I've left a discussion with a potential fix for the wonky behavior when using bikes from
Braven's Bicycles that should stop them stupidly shorting out

no update for over a year is this mod dead? would be a shame as its a really cool idea

this mod conflicts with Braven's Bycicles, making them unusable after they get sparks

Yes, thanks for the feedback.
I do want to update mod soon, that would be good addition.

This mod is amazing, thanks for the work! Would you consider adding scaling depending on your electrical skill level? So the higher it is, the less likely these things would happen. Would make that skill more useful as well. Thanks

A bit incompatible with Refined Hotwire: just in some vehicles, I'm unable to undo the hotwire with that mod.

nowadays they really be nerfing the hot wives for real
nigel  [author] Jun 22, 2023 @ 2:24am 
Yes it's safe to remove.
The code runs during gameplay and uses vanilla hotwire system.

So is this mod pretty safe to remove mid multiplayer server? I'm guessing yes.

Very nice mod that adds immersion and a valid practical reason for key crafting/searching! Pairs great sith Key blank

i read the title as hotwife nerf mod
ArsonBoy5996 Jan 17, 2023 @ 12:10am 
This is definitely a good idea, though I'd say one thing to enhance it could be having a high electrical skill lower or even prevent the chances of it failing potentially.

Mostly just as a way to give the electrical skill more value since after 3 it basically has none whatsoever.

All the variables reset every time you restart the game.
But most of the variables are based on the car condition, so you are okay to restart/save etc.

save game compat?

I also would appreciate the ability to adjust these chances in the sandbox settings

But I like the mod very much
I also feel there's no reason in vanilla to seek out keys, and would like one
Wolfnut88 Feb 18, 2022 @ 2:49am 
a must have
Greez Feb 16, 2022 @ 5:46pm 
It would be very cool if you could adjust the chance of ignition problems. For example, through the settings sandbox.
I would also like that there would be a chance to completely lose the hotwire and the need to do it again
Fuyuno Feb 12, 2022 @ 11:37am 
can i use this with expanded hotwire? i really like the chance for the hotwire to come undone due to specific circumstances
Greez Feb 7, 2022 @ 12:57pm 
thanks
nigel  [author] Feb 7, 2022 @ 11:56am 
This mod will be compatible with everything, because it only works when starting the car or driving the car when it's already hotwired.
You don't need to start a new game, all the data this mod uses is from the vanilla game.
Greez Feb 7, 2022 @ 9:24am 
Compatible with Better lockpicking mod?
And do I need to start a new game?
BigBrotherBilly Feb 5, 2022 @ 9:10am 
Sweet
nigel  [author] Feb 2, 2022 @ 8:15pm 
Yeah, you have to deal with it.
This will make finding a car key even more rewarding than normal.

I find it that I usually prioritize hotwiring cars and this mod makes it so that I don't do it, as it's kind of cheesy and too easy.

You can also use another mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2736032294
Which allows you to un-hotwire cars and create keys.
With that mod, you can have some kind of a work around in case you never find a key!
BigBrotherBilly Feb 2, 2022 @ 3:11pm 
So what do if never key? Do i just deal with it?
D.Cub3d Feb 1, 2022 @ 5:17pm 
Youre killing it with these mods nigel
