This thread is the home for all my various traffic pack projects, as well as my traffic tool, which I've been working on for the past few years now. These are groups of dedicated traffic vehicles with every last possible drop of optimisation and performance squeezed out of them to allow for significantly more of them to run on the average PC compared to the standard vehicles. There's quite a few different elements here so I'll split this thread up into a few sections for each dedicated part.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE COMPLAINING! Lots of important instructions and info here and it is long for a reason

Traffic Tool
This is the core part of the mod and most important bit of all, as it allows for spawning dedicated groups of vehicles I have put together for all the traffic vehicle packs. There are also many options to allow more control over spawning than you'd be able to have normally, such as fine control over license plates.

The tool is by default opened by the left square bracket ( [ ) key on your keyboard - if this doesn't work then check your keybinds. From there you have access to all of the mod's functions:
View attachment 1190341
For a full list of functionality included in the tool:
-Pooled vehicle functionality
-Parked vehicle functionality, with on the fly parts switching to avoid needing duplicate configs for everything
-Choosing specific groups to spawn, based on region/country - as the mod gets more fleshed out with vehicles I will be able to add more specific groups in the future, with only basic ones currently
-Choosing a specific license plate design for traffic vehicles
-Choosing custom license plate models for traffic vehicles - several modded plate shapes supported currently:
--Italian small front plates by @gsbr_697
--British rear yellow plates by @JorgePinto
--Mercosur/Mercosul plates by @RealVector
--Cypriot front white/rear yellow plates by @RealVector
No content from these mods is actually included in this mod beyond the vehicle end plate parts and you will be given a download prompt for the repo if you try to select an option without it's required mod installed.
-Randomised front plate usage is an option intended for american traffic that randomises cars having front plates, for states where they're not required and such.
-Quick start will make vehicles spawn already active and moving incase you are too lazy to press the start button
-Custom spawning code to randomise which vehicles appear, to be able to have rarer vehicles and less duplicates
-Also included are region based presets for the official simplified traffic vehicles incase you wanted more control over those (though most plate options will be disabled or non functional here as I can't get away with adding mod support to those officially like I can with the dedicated mod vehicles)

Notes about spawning - if spawning a large amount of pooled cars beyond what you can handle loaded at one time you game may lag for a bit while everything gets going, this is pretty normal and you just need to stick it through.
There are also options for whether plates are generated on spawn or on start - on particularly weak cpus spawning large amounts of cars in succession that use the default behavior of generating plates on spawn can cause crashes so here there is an option to hold off loading them until traffic is started instead. This will cause the game to slow down for a bit until they're all regenerated (a progress counter is displayed in the ui) so you just need to bear with the lag while this happens.

Nothing with groups is hardcoded so if you have your own traffic mod (thats an actual optimised traffic mod instead of hum3d's finest meshslap pack) then as long as you follow the same naming conventions for parked wheels and license plate parts and put together a group in the same format it should all function and you are welcome to do so

Vehicle Packs
For the sake of my sanity this mod is split into a number of different "packs" of vehicles. While they're split by region the nature of how global some car models are means that most of these are all in the main zip file, with only the standalone parts being released as separate expansions (such as the Yakuza pack). This is also why the EU pack for example contains some japanese market rebadges not used in the actual EU groups, and why some vehicle archetypes are missing (lots of the suvs and sedans are more global and in the unfinished unreleased US pack instead).
The main highlight of this initial release is the EU Standard pack, featuring 43 unique cars. More packs are in progress and planned and will be released whenever they're ready across the coming months and years in this thread so stay tuned, more info about upcoming content is below this section.

Yes, you can spawn them yourself if you really want. They're buried at the very bottom of the vehicle selector with the official simplified traffic and no they don't drive well (and are set up for the AI instead). Enough for you want to manually set up a carpark screenshot though, anything beyond that is not recommended.

EU Traffic Pack
This is the main focus of this initial release, containing 43 cars most commonly found across Europe. The initial focus has mostly been things popular in Italy, as that's the country we have officially ingame, but there's a pretty decent spread overall.
During the creation of this pack I've shifted from using preexisting models to modelling my own stuff from scratch so there's a bit of a divide in the content unfortunately, with most of the older content consisting mostly of late 2000s early 2010s hatchbacks from the FM4 roster. All new content (internally the EU2 lot) is being modelled from scratch by me or my friends so there will be an increasing variety in the future now I'm no longer restrained to existing sources.
All of these cars have the full set of features in the mod, including the new fading glowmap system, support for all plate options in the tool and latest standards of polish (quality, not the people, though there's some of that in here too).

Yakuza Traffic Pack
This was previously on one of the Yakuza map port threads but I've moved it to here now as it fits in much better, especially as this is where the tool to use them properly lives. They have all been reworked since the original release, with improved jbeams (that still need some improving but shh), various fixes and the new shiny fading light stuff implemented.

All cars from Yakuza Like A Dragon by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, extracted using the Yakuza GMD Tools by theturboturnip. Specific list is unchanged from the previous versions and none of them have specific names anyway so I'll save you the bore there.

Important notes
The [ key may not work for various reasons (differnt keyboard layouts, conflicting mods, messed up settings). Please check the keybind in the controls menu (Agent Traffic Tool under General Debug) if this is the case
The mod will not function in older versions of the game. Please buy the game legitimately pirates/sincerest apologies Humble Bundle users.
There are various scenarios the mod may not work properly in the latest versions of the game.

-If it is the same error every time then it is most likely a conflicting mod. Police/lightbar mods seem like the biggest candidates for overwriting electrics lua which will break things, and BeamMP and the DFA pack are usual candidates for breaking everything in general. Try with all trace of these removed and it should be good.
-If it is different errors every time or nonsensical lua errors, and your pc/laptop has a 12th to 14th gen Intel CPU then I have to break the unfortunate news to you that your system is probably rotting from the inside out because Intel are cheap. Your next course of action will need to be a good bit of research on the whole situation and subsequent search for any warranties and proof of purchase for your system/the CPU to make sure you can get things replaced without major losses yourself, as well as finding info about the BIOS updates to stop it getting worse.
There doesn't seem to be a single resource I can point you towards unfortunately, for starters though this thread seems like a good rundown of the basics (apologies for reddit): https://old.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/1egthzw/megathread_for_intel_core_13th_14th_gen_cpu/
It's not just you but unfortunately the CPU intensive nature of BeamNG, especially with traffic means it tends to unveil this issue earlier than most things in the form of complete jargon lua errors where the CPU just straight fails at a task and things break.

Technical Details
Everything in the mod has had rigorous levels of optimisations done to ensure the best possible performance on weak PCs, to the extent that this project also ended up being the tech demo that led to the official simplified vehicles being made, meaning performance is at least on par or better than they are. If you're unsure about system performance then you can probably run about as many of these as you can those.

Optimisations include basic traffic jbeams stemming from the official ones, purely data value generic materials wherever possible with only badge textures and paint colour palettes using actual textures apart from small exceptions, utilising proper texture cooker PBR formats in the instances they are used for optimal GPU performance and smart glowmaps utilising vertex colours to avoid baked textures and UV maps.

However, this does not mean that visual standards have slipped and I have put lots of time into making sure that I can balance them looking good too with the best possible performance, with proper PBR materials, the new fancy fading glowmap system and just enough polygons to make things look alright still
(ignore the fact the showroom lights break the badge material here)

Upcoming Content
The EU pack has many plans and will continue to be worked on, mostly in the form of new vehicle additions continuing well into the future so stay tuned for that
There are also a few parts planned for existing cars I hope to get done soon, notably the Chrysler version of the Ypsilon and the Japanese market version of the Corolla
I've considered lots of new areas to branch out into with this mod too, including simplified trailers and more specialised work vehicles (buses, coaches, street cleaners, gimmicky stuff like those land trains if the AI is even capable of controlling those) but this stuff probably won't start being worked on for a while yet
The tool has a few additions I'd like to make too, such as more specific options for controlling plates and what ages of vehicle can spawn (which in turn allows for even more control over plates)
Slightly more frequent progress is posted in this mod's thread in the official BeamNG discord server but I'll keep this thread updated too since that place is understandably not for everyone.
There's also some other stuff in the works or planned too:

This was originally an old project that wasn't going to see the light of day due to having model sources I wouldn't feel comfortable releasing anywhere, but recently I have started a new Japanese pack from fresh with content exclusively scratch modelled by myself. As this was started more recently there aren't enough vehicles to be able to release it yet but for the forseeable future this is the one I want to work on the most, hopefully being able to get it out in the next few months

This is the original incarnation of the mod that you may have seen about in the past. Unfortunately, the quality is not up to par with the modern bits of the mod and as this has the most cars of the lot it's going to take a lot of work to get it to that point. Not currently being worked on and will be easily 6+ months before a release here.

This is a mod currently being worked on by @Ezo that serves as an expansion to this mod, and consists of a a bunch of the random things he's modelled over the years put into the game as optimised traffic vehicles. The vehicle selection doesn't reaaally resemble modern day traffic but these are intended to be more fun things to have around as rarer vehicles, and are also more tuned towards being drivable, having realistic performance specs where possible. Heavy WIP at the moment with no estimation of release, everything shown is subject to heavy change

There are also a few extra packs I'd like to do in the future once the current set are more fleshed out. These include:
Chod traffic of 70s/80s/90s British/European vehicles, mostly just because I want an excuse to start modelling (more) talbots and stuff tbh
Brazilian and Australian/New Zealand traffic packs are also something I've considered for the future, some interesting things over there but still decent overlap with what I already have.

Common Questions
If you have issues with sounds then make sure your Audio Max Voices setting is set to ultra (512). You should now be warned about this inside the tool itself.
Install it like any other forum mod by putting the zip inside the mod folder.
No, I'm not adding interiors/proper jbeams/full technical specs/finely tuned ffb/all factory configs/drivable versions/this car/that car/the car your mum has/every car ever sold in mexico. Please comprehend what the title says. I will not do it, please do not ask it

This mod is fully free and these are the only official downloads, anywhere else is stolen and probably either fake or messed about with.

Please do not redistribute, reupload or steal any of my own or or my friends content from this mod without explicit permission! Yes, this includes people making terrible slaps of Ezo's models ripped from sketchfab too considering they were all either made for this project or are now being added to it by himself. Especially no selling anything stolen from here because that's another level of scummy and you should feel ashamed. DM me if you have any questions in that regard.

Also as an extra note, please no requests. I have spent over 2 years on this and therefore do not need to be told I should add x car, I've either already thought of it and plan to add it or have already thought of it and don't plan to add it. Currently sitting at 1067 3d car scans and rising and I have many other reference sources so I'm already set for life on ideas on what to make.

i keep crashing into an invisible car

Snaffi · Jan 20, 2025

I'm going the make this single request as I'm taking a wild guess in thinking it's possible, as the cars do get respawned constantly during driving.

Where you set the number of cars (default is 11 I think)
Have another tickbox, where you can select this to be a RANDOM maximum.

In real life, you don't always have around 11 cars in view a lot of the time.
You might have say 11 at one moment, then for a while, only 1 or two, then come across perhaps a bunch of 5, then nothing for a bit, until to meet up with another 2 or 3.

That simple change would make "Traffic" vastly more realistic.

So I'd be selecting UP TO 11 cars max with the new option.
Then the respawning of cars can be random,

I may want up to perhaps 11 at some moments, but at other times, I may want only 1, 2 or 3 cars for some time whilst driving.

Wonder what others think of this?

Mbiz3 · Jan 22, 2025

Can I just say how awsome this pack is! Using low-poly parts that are not seen much for the purpose of improving performance and keeping quality lighting and exteriors at the same time is perfect for a traffic pack. As well as the fact it includes cars like the fiat 500 and smart for 2, and other cars that no one else has made before.

Incredible job. 10/10!

I really love this tiny car in the eu traffic pack. Someone can do this perfect? Like a mod that I can drive? I can pay. If someone can do this please tell me I really appreciate. Thanks.

To be honest, I'm still confused why no one made a Seicento/Cinquecento yet, since I know there are definetly a lot of fans of them. Guess we just have to wait.

The car is driveable, but as mentioned its at the very bottom of the vehicle selector

Yeah,I find it.But it seems not really good. It's doesn't have the Interior. It's doesn't have the driver viewing angle also. So I mean If someone can fix all of this. I'm really thanksful.

Sadly if no one decides to make a mod for it, that's the only way you can drive it for now.
