    Deformation wise it's slightly tweaked to fix bugs and stuff, add openables and other modern features, in terms of slot system it's reworked from scratch

    Nice. I'm a bit late to the party, wonder if they are going to have cargo for career mode. And if the wagon version will have XL cargo/aggregate/fluid container support. (At least I remember wagon versions the last time I played this mod a while back)

    Yeah of course they have, and the wagon has a lot of cargo space for career

    That's great to hear! Wonder how many cargo slots to be exact? At least 128 would be suitable for someone just starting out their delivery career in the game.

    364 is the maximum you can fit in the car

    Planned, if we get the Pontiac Parisienne in the mod it will be on that car as it looks the closest, otherwise I think it will be on the Impala and won't have the rear wheel arch covers

    I would have been happy just to see the mod get all of the small issues fixed; a real progress photo from a more substantial remaster is icing on the cake! And thank you to the computer gods for treating this mod well; most cars of this age are awash with NO TEXTUREs. Also, since you're considering adding entire new marques of the B-Body, will you be implementing the six-cylinder engines as well?

    V6 engines have been done for a while, the model is just a shortened V8 small block but it's good enough imo. Available in 229 CUI (both Chevy and Buick California spec version), 231 CUI and 262 CUI Vortec. I6 won't happen as it's too niche to bother.

    Nice, I thought the 128 would fit within the wagon itself. I guess someone might want to put extra cargo on the roof racks, but that might cause some "instability" issues.

    You won't be adding the I6... so does that mean you will be adding the late 70s pre-facelift models that it was available in, just with the V8s only?

    Nope that is also out of scope, I thought there was a 1980 Impala with an I6 but I double checked and there wasn't one, my bad

    Since I don't see an existing list upthread (forgive me if I missed it), which platform-sibling cars beyond those already in the mod will be added?

    Only the Parisienne, and only if I find someone willing to model it.

    AMAZING MOD!!!!1!!1!!! This is the best mod I think I have ever seen! I think the car is great and you did such a great job but I think it needs a little dusting off because the windows are missing textures but other than that its great. Keep up the good work!

    I see you made a lowrider config which is cool af! Will it have the standard bluebuck hydraulics or stronger hydraulics like widefap did on one of their mods?

    The hydraulics were copied from someone else's mod with permission and tweaked to be more stable, they have realistic strength, to not damage the car on landing. But could try also making stronger ones for fun

    Edit: Apparently there is an insane lowrider build irl, found it at the start of this video, so I could replicate it

    it really makes me happy to see one of the most prolific mods from the early years of beam being remastered
