Career Adjustments
Career Adjustments — a script mod by sandman for the NFS: Underground 2 career. It fixes two things at once that feel illogical in the original: the visual rating system and the distribution of money across stages.
What changes
- Visual rating: prices for visual parts are doubled, and their contribution to the car's rating is tripled — visual tuning starts to play a more noticeable role.
- Economy: rewards for races, outruns and magazine covers are rebalanced by stage, magazine covers now give 1000 instead of 500. The money that comes closer to the finale in the vanilla game is distributed throughout the career.
- Total amount: the total career earnings have barely changed — the author estimates the difference at about 2%.
- Optional options: cosmetic parts unlocked from the start, earlier access to cars (usually one URL race earlier) and early turbo — the latter will be useful for those playing through the game on high difficulty with their first car.
Compatibility
The mod only changes values and therefore does not conflict with other modifications. Before installation, be sure to back up GLOBALA.BUN and GlobalB.lzc — this makes it easier to restore the original balance.
How to install
- Make a backup copy of GLOBALA.BUN and GlobalB.lzc from the game folder.
- Unpack the mod archive.
- Run Binary as administrator.
- Select User Mod mode (User Mode).
- Specify the setup.end file from the mod folder.
- Select the folder with the installed game.
- Click Apply, then Save.
- If necessary, create a new profile — old saves may not pick up the new values.
- Launch the game and continue your career.
