    I’m actually quite glad that you did that! Previously, if you parked a car, it would extend into the sidewalk and even the road. Plus, the trees and bushes add much more life! :D:D:D

    I also think it Is a little too bright. I think you should make it darker so it looks more like normal grass.

    I was able to get one of the artists to lower the bright over-saturated green slightly right before release, though I do agree that it's still pretty wild and needs attention. Most of WCUSA is still using the old materials and hasn't received a PBR update. So for now, I simply went through and rebuilt/smoothed out/cleaned up the area, it wasn't a remaster by any means.

    I found out from the original map developer that he used this neighbourhood as reference to the overall feel:
    https://www.google.com/maps/@37.698...Yu2mw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?authuser=0&entry=ttu

    For what it's worth, here is the state of what it was in before I went through:

    Vs afterward:

    As you can see, not a remaster, but an improvement

    Hey :) Can you explain a bit more when this happens? what kind of deliveries you are doing, or a screenshot of the reward screen?
    Additionally, your savefile after this happens would be helpful, you can find it here:
    userfolder\settings\cloud\saves\[yourSaveFileName]
    you can zip the whole folder and upload it here. That would help us track down the issue.
    Thank you :)

    Hey! So a few ideas or recommendations for Career Mode. Would be nice to have a house the player can own or buy to live at instead of only at a garage. Also a functioning taxi job would also be nice as we have Taxi's always for sale. Roaming cop cars can be nice too who can pull you over for violating a law. To add onto this more truck delivery stuff? Since we have log trailers and the steel coils now. And (Idk if this is already a thing) if you have a fuel trailer you can haul fluids to a location for money. Again just some small ideas if any of you wish to consider

    Delivering Cars
    I'm not sure if anyone has touched on this topic but:
    Delivering cars should have one more parameter that we are held accountable for. Checking whether we transported the vehicle on wheels or on a tow truck/trailer.
    It can be easily modified because if the odometer increased by e.g. 5 km, we do not get additional money, but if the odometer increased only by 100/250 m, then we get additional cash.

    The taxi jobs are coming in future updates. Also they couldn't implement the fuel delivery on this update, but it's probably coming in the next update.

    Are you sure you activated the tutorial when the trade in car didnt show up? Or did you start career without the tutorial, because then it's intended that you dont own any car before the one you buy.

    It is an improvement, however, the only things I originally noticed were the saturated green grass, the extra house, and a better "large circle thing". Also, Is PBR being worked on for more of WCUSA?

    I do really like the new trailer and car jockey delivery system. That being said, I think it is pretty hard to find level 1 cars. I forgot where I got my first car jockey car, and I haven't been able to find one I can drive since.

    I also like knowing what places delivers what (if anything). I am also really looking forward to the taxi job, towing, and private security... for obvious reasons.

    I am really enjoying the delivery game play. However, I thing some things could be tweaked to improve the game play loop. Some things I have in mind is:

    1. If driving a commercial vehicle and delivery level 2 is reached, then more bulk/heavy cargo options are available

    2. As mentioned by someone else, if you already have cargo loaded, when going to add more cargo, already loaded destinations in the list get front loaded and highlighted.

    3. Delivering trailers counts towards both cargo and vehicle deliveries at a 50/50 xp split (if delivering a trailer gave 100xp towards cargo, it would now give 50xp to cargo and 50xp to vehicles)

    4. Allow more than 1 semi trailer to be out when doing trailer missions.

    ---General career mode changes---

    5. I haven't tested this, but replaying missions and completing them should give ~25% xp and cash rewards (25% is just an arbitrary number, can be changed for balance or baised on difficulty) .

    6. *Sell all* for unequipped parts or having a checkbox selector to install or sell

    7. T-Series always have an overly rough idle. Most big trucks will run great for a million+ miles with maybe 1-2 engine rebuilds. Maybe engine wear has a 100k mile reset for used trucks?


    That's all I can think of for now.

    Ah. So, second time this has happened to me now. It seems that taking a delivery vehicle through a speed camera just obliterates my save file. First time it was taking a trailer through which was very funny and gave me this really cool error. Second time was with a sunburst I was delivering. Error message in the console when you try to load the save seems to be the same? (save attached)

    At least doing 80mph with a trailer through a speed camera was really funny.
