About this mod

Are you tired of dismantling your car every time you add a new mod so you can install mod's components to your car? Well this save is for you!

LORE
Your parents sold the satsuma because it was just rotting in the garage. They left you home and went to Helsinki to buy a brand new 1995 Volvo 850 T5 R and go on vacation afterwards. The average game lore happened, borrowed uncle's van, truck, tractor, grandma's pick up etc. But money started coming short so you decided to convert your parents' garage into a mini tuning shop (because you're a car enthusiast, you know how to work on cars). One day a familiar car came to your shop: it's your dad's Datsun 100A! It's been fixed by it's new owner. The Owner told you he wants a full rally spec upgrade so he can participate in the local rally races. You told the man that the way it work at your shop is that the client pays for the parts and you do the installing and tuning of the car, so the rally parts are going to cost him some money. The man hands you a briefcase of cash money and tells you "do what you have to do to make this car win every race it takes part in". And so you pull the car into your garage, take it apart and start working on it. Days pass, more clients come in with various cars: a RCO Ruscko for some engine tunning, a Ferndale Wagon for rust repair, a normal Ferndale for a race turbo setup and many more, so many more you had to park some in your uncle's shed, next to his van.

Actual description 
If you didn't read the lore, that's alright😢. Here is what you need to know:
  • this save contains save files from other mods too
  • the car is partly dismantled so you can just put any parts you want on it
  • on the shelves are the car parts from the main game; the modded parts are on the floor or on the sides
  • although in the requirements tab it says you need the Tire Racks mod, you don't actually need it. The save will work just fine even with the base vanilla game. The requirement is there because all the wheels are on tire racks and without the mod, the wheels will fall to the ground and create a mess in the garage.
  • i emptied the briefcase i got from Jokke (he k1lled himself)
  • the van is in the shed, so is the tractor
  • the septic truck is at the sewage plant
  • there are some food items at the junkyard because i was using M.O.P. and for some reason, after you eat, the mod teleports the eaten items there
  • the rally suspension is NOT tuned. You can tune it yourself to make it stiffer or softer. I personally like it the way it comes out of the box
  • the twin carburetor is NOT tuned either. I just never used it.
  • the car doesn't have a header installed because i used the Turbo mod before i dismantled it. It will still run without any problems, even without the header
  • the sofa is in the back of Teimo's shop so you can clip your head through and get in the shop at night without breaking the window in case you need to "borrow" some fuel.
  • i also stole the slot machine. If i knew how i would put it back (using MSCEditor).

This archive contains save files from the following mods: (If you are too lazy to read, press ctrl+F and type the mod you are looking for)
  • 4 door Satsuma
  • Actual Mop
  • AI Logging Truck
  • Alcohol Meter
  • Attachable Roofrack (it's hard to install on the car with the 4 door Satsuma mod enabled because the hitbox of the rear mounting points of the roof rack will conflict with the hitbox of the car)
  • Attachable Spare Tire (Requires Oasis mod)
  • Autofuel (Requires RaycastCore mod)
  • Better Shopping Bags
  • Black Market
  • Call your cousin
  • Carry More (Backpack) (while i was looking for the link to put it here i saw this Backpack mod, which looks like the one i am using, but newer. the one i am using was last updated in 2018, this new one in may 2023. I didn't test the new one yet)
  • CDPlayer Enhanced (Requires Mod Shop mod)
  • External (Chase) Camera (Doesn't work with the Plymouth Dustman mod and the ZAZ Zaporozhets 968, as the game doesn't really consider them vehicles but more like drivable objects)
  • Country House (Requires Fridge API mod)
  • Custom License plates 
  • Datsun Branding
  • Delivery Jobs
  • Digital Speedometer (This is a good mod to have if you plan to have the Turbo mod and SatsumaTuner95 mod enabled as the car can reach extremely high speeds with the extended gearing and the car speedometer locks up after 220 km/h. I personally reached 340 km/h with these mods but i think the car can do more on a longer and flatter surface)
  • Dingus (a.k.a. Maxwell the car)
  • Dirt Track Racer NPC
  • Drivable Ricochet
  • Expanded Winter Features (Some mods including the Turbo mod don't work at all while this mod is enabled.)
  • 73' Burnet Ferndale Suburban
  • Force Feedback Fix (for those who want to play with a wheel, this is a life changer)
  • Fuel Tank Door
  • Drivable Fury (This is an old mod, it barely just works, if you ever use this mod outside of this save, the car spawns in Fleetari's shop, where the non drivable one is normally. Also if the mod doesn't work, then i'm sorry. I downloaded this mod a few years ago and lost the original link where i got it from. This is the best i could find.)
  • Garage Pit Covers
  • Gifu Addon (I have this mod disabled because when i downloaded it i did it for the rear work light. But now that they added one into the vanilla game i decided to turn the mod off, plus that i didn't like how the frame of the load gauge remained after the gauge itself was relocated in the work box)
  • Glasses box
  • Grab anything (very handy if a mod bugs or if you flip the truck or tractor and don't want to use MSCEditor to unflip them)
  • Hayosiko Turbo
  • Health (This is a MUST if you play with mods as some mods may bug and instead of completely dying you just take damage and heal back by eating food; skips you a trip from town to the place you died)
  • Jack stands (Requires Oasis mod) (Mod Shop is optional if you want to buy more jack stands. Also worth mentioning is that the jack stands are NOT height adjustable, despite looking like they are and they are too short to hold the car in the air with rally suspension; the tires will still touch the ground and compress the suspension a bit)
  • Just wait (Forgot to disable it, doesn't work for me anymore. whenever i press shift+T to wait, the interface doesn't pop up, only the pause menu pop's up like usual and if i resume the game the player can't move anymore. This can be reset if you use Noclip and fly to a bed and sleep)
  • Lights on switches (Very good when Jokke calls you up in the middle of the night. I think i use an older version because my lights are a line above the switch. This is the only mod i could find)
  • Minimap (Very good mod, even for experienced players. Sadly with all the mods enabled, making the map full screen or disabling it don't work anymore. You can still move it around the screen)
  • Mod Shop (The Shop itself is located next to Lindell inspection shop)
  • Mokia Townsman (Requires Mod Shop mod)
  • Moose Hunter (Requires Achievement Core, Fridge API mods and Oasis.dll but place it in the References folder)
  • Modern Optimization Plugin (a.k.a. M.O.P.)
  • Noclip (Fly mod)
  • Hayosiko Off-road Look
  • Panier 250 (Requires Oasis mod)
  • Working Parking Lights (Sometimes they don't turn off after turning off the ignition, but not to worry as they don't drain the battery)
  • Mokia Townsman Phone Holder for Tangerine (with all these mods enabled it throws and error in the console and can't save the location of the holder. Idk what mod is causing this mod to throw an error when saving but having only the Tangerine, Mokia Townsman and the Phone Holder enabled shouldn't cause problems)
  • Plymouth Dustman Project (Old mod, deleted from Nexus mods, couldn't find it anywhere)
  • Preserve Steering Angle
  • Quicksave (Press F6 to quicksave. The mod is bugged in a way that after you quicksave, the hud doesn't appear back and after a few seconds the Satsuma glitches and explodes (not in an "if it caught on fire" way). Also an ESSENTIAL mod if you play with the Turbo mod)
  • Railroad Crossing
  • Rally Spotlights (Made for Mod Loader Pro, may require Mod Loader Pro Compatibility Reference tool)
  • Rally Speedmeter (If you use this mod outside of my save and you have the Mod Shop installed, you have to clip through the ground in the back of the Mod Shop using Noclip to find it.)
  • Rally Times Hud (I have it disabled because it wastes hud space when i am not rallying.)
  • Repairable Ruscko (Removing rust and replacing the tires at Fleetari's didn't work with all the mods enabled. I had to swap the save file of this mod with an older one from when i didn't use as many mods.)
  • Repair Hammer Redux
  • Right Hand Drive Hayosiko (Old mod, somehow still works, to some extent. If you save and reload 3 or more times, the van will remain left hand drive. The seatbelt will get progressively smaller as you buckle up and unbuckle. Also while using Hayosiko Off Road Look, the spotlight switches will stay on the left side of the van.)
  • Rally Preparation Station (RPS)
  • Satsuma Digital Dashboard (If you disable this mod for this save, the tachometer should be already installed)
  • Satsuma Manual (Do not move while the manual is open with inventory mode disabled. You usually close the manual with F but the crosshair should be on the manual itself to take effect, so if you move you won't be able to close the manual.)
  • SatsumaTuner95 (Usefull if you plan to use Turbo mod)
  • DonnerTechRacing Turbocharger (a.k.a. Turbo mod, i may have refered to it as just Turbo mod above) (Requires Mod Shop and MscModApi mod) (You MUST use this in pair with quicksave because the current version as i am writing this (v2.2.2) is bugged in combination with M.O.P. and M.O.P. will make your intake manifold and intercooler-to-intake-manifold tube fall through the map when loading the save thus bugging the turbo and requiring you to uninstal the intake manifold and intercooler-to-intake-manifold tube from the save file, which is a pain in the back. To prevent this from happening either manually take off the intake manifold and intercooler-to-intake-manifold tube every time before you save or use the Quicksave mod to save right next to the car. Also there is another bug where the racing turbo blow-off valve wont let you set it to 2.5 bar, only to a maximum of 2 bar. Otherwise, very cool mod, lots of horsepower, i quite enjoy it.)
  • Kebabtech air Conditioning (This mod works perfectly as is, despite the fact that the mod is no longer supported by the author thus being disabled from Nexusmods (this link is the download link, somehow still accessible from google.) Sadly it does not heat you up when using Expanded Winter Features, despite the AC unit having a heat mode.)
  • Save Slots
  • Second Ferndale (I used the Old Ferndale skin and i installed it like this: i took "muscle_paint.tex.dds" file from the archive -> renamed it to "muscle_paint.dds" -> extracted it to Mods\Assets\SecondFerndale ("Mods" being the MSC mods folder))
  • Show Bolt sizes (It is disabled because i have the Satsuma Manual, which contains all bolt sizes for everything in the vanilla game + wiring + tuning, so i don't need this mod anymore + it's bugged. The author said to use this Display bolt sizes mod.)
  • Speedy post (if you are impatient like me and want to skip the wait when going to Fleetari's, after you left your car at the shop, take a left on the highway and go toward the city. Drive up to the moose sign (or whatever sign is there, i don't remember), drive a few meters more, pull up the menu, press speed up on repair shop and head back to the shop. The job should be completed.)
  • Steering wheel cap (currently mounted to the stock steering wheel, can't take it off if you are using Satsuma LX mod)
  • Tangerine FZ-120 Pickup (Made for Mod Loader Pro, may require Mod Loader Pro Compatibility Reference tool)
  • Tire Racks (Made for Mod Loader Pro, may require Mod Loader Pro Compatibility Reference tool)
  • Transport Trailer (Requires Trailer hitch System mod) (Both mods were made for Mod Loader Pro, may require Mod Loader Pro Compatibility Reference tool)
  • Useless Statistics
  • Wiper Improvement
  • ZAZ Zaporozhets 968 (Requires Brush Base mod) (Since i had it in my mods folder i decided to include it too. The mod said there is a second Jonnez ES somewhere on the map but i couldn't find it. So i reset the save file, changed zazkey from false to true and moved the car home with the Grab Anything mod. The car doesn't have fuel thou there should be some fuel in the gas cannister. I never used this mod because it's kinda poorly made.)
  • Satsuma LX (Causes lag, almost never used it since i like race builds more than luxury builds on Satsuma but i included this too.)

Aditional notes:
  • Besided Moose Hunter, when installing mods that i specified that they require another mod or reference, said required mod or reference should be downloaded automaticly by the mod loader. If not you can come back here to download it manually.
  • When all these mods are enabled some things break. For example: the TV doesn't work, the Mokia doesn't work, with Expanded Winter Features turned on the NPCs don't have winter clothes, the Turbo mod doesn't work either. The call your cousin sheet of paper at home isn't there. There may be other bugs but i haven't noticed them.
  • I tried to make DonnerTechRacing ECUs mod work too, but i never managed to, even with all other mods disabled, just the ECU, Mod Shop and MscModApi enabled, still nothing. If anyone manages to make it work alongside the current version of the Turbo mod please let me know.
  • There is a save file for the 4 Door Ferndale too, but i stopped using that mod because it was bugged on the Second Ferndale. probably because of the skin, the exterior of the rear doors was invisible and the rear doors didn't work at all, not even when trying to open them from the inside.
  • Sometimes the front license plate doesn't have a texture when using Custom License Plates mod. To fix this, open the menu, loot at Front Plate Location, toggle on or off Bumper Left or Right, apply changes, then you can put it back where you wanted it.
  • If you save the game while the car is sitting on jack stands the game may bug and when loading back the game the car may be damaged and/or some stands may be missing.
  • If you're having trouble saving with M.O.P. active, turn performance mode to SAFE.
  • Max framerate on M.O.P. is set to 75 because my monitor has only 75hz. You can turn it higher if you want without a problem.
  • The Panier 250 has only the Red Reflector on the trunk lid option. If you want other options, feel free to download a save file from someone else. Or if you know how to edit this stuff please let me know, i want to know too :)
  • Another reason why the car is partly taken apart is to not glitch out if you plan to use the BMW E30 mod. I first tried to use the E30 mod with everything installed and it glitched out in the garage and made a mess everywhere.
  • Also i will not be including a "meshsave.txt" file in the save in case you want to use the E30 mod.
  • I know there are some mods i listed above which don't require a save file but i listed them anyway because i was too lazy to look and check which mods use a save file and which ones don't.
  • When i was creating the save some of the stuff liked to fall of the shelf. This is caused by a mod, but idk which one.
  • Also the rear carpet from the Satsuma LX sometimes likes to fall of the map.
  • The Tangerine Phone Holder is in it's usual spawning place: in the living room.

If you would like me to add another mod to this collection of save files compressed into one singular save, please let me know and i might add it in the future.
If you encounter any other problems when having the mods listed above enabled please let me know (i will not help if you have other mods enabled that were NOT mentioned above)

Now with all this being said thank you for stopping by and thank you again if you decide to download and use my save. Have fun playing this Unity game until My Winter Car comes out. :D
