Car Trader Simulator - Update v0.9.8.0a

Hello Car Traders!

Hello, hello Car Traders, how are your businesses doing these days? They're definitely about to get better pretty soon as we are happy to announce a new update! Check below what has changed - we believe you will quite like what we've prepared for you...

  • A special Christmas user Interface is now available during five weeks of every in-game winter! Will you notice all the visual tweaks and changes that we have prepared for you to feel the Christmas spirit?
  • Mod Tools - you can add your own cars to the game and become even better Car Trader with Santa Claus sledge in your garage! We cannot wait to see your additions and creations
  • Added two new songs - variety never hurts, right?
  • Over 30 reported minor and major issues fixed!

After updating the game to the newest version you will see a new addition on the main menu of the game - a Mods Icon. Simply by clicking on it you will have a chance to access the menu for mods allowing you to add new cars to the game. Now it's the time to let your imagination go wild because any and all cars will do.

This is how the mods window looks like. As you can see it has many different options but do not worry - creating a new car is not complicated at all. In order to do so you will have to create a New Package with the "Create Package" option. You can name the package as you prefer. After that is done you will then have an opportunity to create new cars within that particular package. Several options await here allowing you to customize your car as per your wishes and preferences. You can even set whether this particular car will appear damaged or fully repaired in game!

Last but not least you can choose your own photos for your car. Remember to upload them first to an appropriate folder! In order to see the folder path please put your mouse cursor on the question mark visible in the left top corner of the screen.

Please remember to start new game when using mods - the older save files might work with the addition of mods but there is a risk of them becoming corrupted and not functioning properly.

Thank you for sending us your reports and all of the output_logs we received from you! We still await any and all reports you might have - don't be a stranger!

Best regards,
Car Trader Simulator team
