TDU2 - Car Mods not working, not showing up in car dealers

[Tadpole]

Hi.

While browsing around randomly, I saw that TDU2 had its own car pack mods much like TDU1 has its own (Platinum). I always thought TDU2 was a cool game with fascinating mechanics, but its car list was always really bland to me. I decided I'd try it out since I wanted to drive around Ibiza and Hawaii with my favourite cars (<cough> F50 <cough>). Unfortunately, because it seems I'm cursed with software and other electronics, it's not working. I used the unpacker, unpacked the game to a secondary directory, placed the unpacked Euro folder in the original directory, ran the Unofficial Patch's installer, installed the Auto Pack afterward, and ran it through the Universal Launcher, but it's as if the game just straight-up isn't loading the mods anymore. None of the new cars apppear in the dealers, be they from UP or AutoPack.

I already asked for help in the discord server and in their respective threads, but I've noticed a lot of people have had the same issues as me and they've always been completely ignored when posting there. So I'm hoping that a thread like this could get the attention of someone who does know how to fix it, as well as possibly being a megathread for this bug in specific that people can later on find during google searches and discover a possible solution to this should they run into the same problem.

Hi,

you said you've put Euro folder back to initial directory after unpack. But I assume the BIG files are still there ? That would explain why the game does not take unpacked files into account.

Unpacker creates a dedicated TDU2 install with all required files copied automatically from the original folder. I always ran TDU2 from the unpacked folder afterwards. Just keep the original directory as a backup (you may zip it).

Oh my gosh, that solved it! I feel dumb now ^^;

Thanks for helping out! I noticed it unpacked even the game executable and various other files, but I had no idea it created an entire new install of the game, I always thought it had to be fused with the original installation.

Hi

If you take some autopack don't mess it with other car mods. Db_data is the file that rules which cars must place in the dealership. Choose one - single car mods with original db_data file or autopack with its own, not the both. I'm using single car mods, because don't need all these cars, i have 32 single Mercedes cars and made my own db_data file with the cars in the dealerships and everything is working fine.

Good luck
