EUDM Ibishu Pessima MK2 1.3.1

Better than whatever the heck American market got

Ibishu Pessima for European market (1997 - 2003)

---

Lore
The work on the newest generation of Ibishu Pessima started in 1995 which at that point the final choice was set.

The choice was to build two new cars under the same model name for two markets, one for Asian and American markets, and the second one was for European market. Work on Asian models was given to the Japanese, while European model was developed in southwest England, which is where Ibishu of Europe is located.

Design changed multiple times until it landed on the final design by late 1996, by that point Asian and American markets already got their Pessima on sale, while European was lacking a new generation. In 1997, Ibishu of Europe announced that they started the production of the new Pessima for European markets, and by late of that year it will go on sale. The car shared some components from Japanese factories, however the engines and exterior parts were manufactured in England.

It would enter Touring races next year and would do it until year 2000, most of these races Ibishu would win, which lead to the creation of one special edition based on GTz package. They would also enter rally events for a single year to promote the car.

The car would receive a facelift in 2000 which changed the grille design to more simplistic one and changed the style of the bumper grille. After the facelift, it would end the production in 2003, lasting only 6 years on sale compare to 4 years for Asian and American models.

Author's words
This project began it's development in mid August however i put it on hold due to the development of another mod project i was making at the time, Ibishu Miramar "Modernized". After i published that on repository, i resumed the work on the mod in October and started working on it even more than i would before, and once i ported the model to the game, i created this thread for the mod, which then i tried to keep it updated until i would finish it.

The mod itself may seem as a lazy job but it took me long enough to remodel things out while also trying to avoid shading issues and horrible UV garbage. Because the model was completely remodelled, i had to also redo skin UV from scratch, which is how i also discovered how to do the skin templates. I do apologize for some skin UV issues, but the only reasoning is just because i'm not experienced with making one. literally my first time making one from scratch. And since i tried to base it on a Honda Accord MK6 from Europe, i tried all my best to put the most recognizable parts of that Accord into this mod, which includes the front, rear, and the gauge cluster.

Anyways, hope you'll enjoy it, and if you found some bugs with the mod, please send them kindly to this thread. Please don't use reviews to report bugs, and keep it as it is. Thanks, and once again, hope you'll enjoy it.

Reasoning to why the car is separate from the vanilla midsize / Pessima
The whole reason that most didn't noticed is that it's a completely remodelled car. Even if it was a part of a vanilla Pessima, you would most likely still lose most of the customizing mods, as lots of things got their own slot due to different modelling of the body shell. If they all used vanilla slots, it would've looked weird, and probably would've caused issues. This is the first reason why i made it separate.

Another reason is that in case of a mod conflict or game update, i don't need to constantly fix it all the time, and that personally would get annoying and painful. Another reason for it being separate.

And finally, it's just a personal preference, i like having a quick access to a modded car instead of going into a huge list that is vanilla Pessima, especially if you have KLJP on.

Hope that explains it.

Skin Template
This mod has a different skin template compare to vanilla Pessima MK2 due to a different model. Please use this template when creating skins for this mod.
