Steam version, x64, steam installed on separate drive from where the game is located (neither steam nor CMS is on C:). Ran with and without admin, and with the exe on both drives.
-hi did you download the new version ? CMSCarVal64 2.0 ? -is your game a STEAM version ? -does this path exist in your registry ? HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 -when you installed the game did you change the folder name or is it still "Car Mechanic Simulator 2021" ?
It's the latest version of the mod. The folder names are unchanged.
However... When it comes to the registry my path ends at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam (\Apps is available but not \steamapps - but apps only contains a handful of games and not CMS).
I can find CMS under its steam id (1190000) in HKEY_USERS and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. There's no path at all that contains "steamapps\common", I can only find games under their IDs in "Steam\Apps".
weird...its supposed to ask the user for the install folder location should it not find the game in the expected location or if the registry path is not the same. i will have to modify it and upload it soon. sorry
no sir its supposed to get that install folder location information from the registry. so it should run wherever you run the .exe file. by any chance is this a STEAM copy of the game ?
Thank you my friend for getting back to me. I wonder why Nexus does not notify me of your posts, but checked today knowing you would get back to me. Gave Kudos just for being awesome.
alongside where you ran the file CMSCarVal64.exe if CMSCarVal64.exe is in drive D: and you double click CMSCarVal64.exe it will create a results.txt file in D:

It also produces a blank result.txt.

I don't know why my steam install is weird.
I'm glad you're keeping the mod going.
are you running on x64 systems ?
try to run the mod with ADMIN privileges.
Can the mod be run from anyplace?
Is it expecting the game to be on the c:\ drive?
so it should run wherever you run the .exe file.

i think REDDOTGAMES updated its file information so that we can no longer get the install directory which made my mod blind.
i updated the mod if you still need it
I will try this again. Thank you.
