Seasonal Unlocks After Seasons (permanently) Ended
By Hawk_Jedilord and 1 collaborators
What this is: A way to unlock the seasonal vechicles that one missed by making the mistake of "buying the game too late".

I don't fu***** care if some of you consider this cheating or not. I have payed for this content but I can't access it? F*** that! THATS cheating, cheating your customers! FOMO mechanics are inexcusable. At least in the Forza games, starting with FH4 seasonal things are preset to rotate back after game development/updates ends, so that one gets basically infinite chances to earn them with a little patience.

Please I beg of you for the love of The Norse Gods, before you proceed, take a backup of your saved games.
I'm neither a gamedev nor a modder, I wouldn't know how to help if something goes wrong.

Cool! I don't know much about programming but I'd be happy to help.
KattFish  [author] 3 Jul @ 3:19am 
Yes, I plan to release a mod file next week once I have a day off work to tweak a couple things. Tinkered a bit tonight to adjust some changes and some worked, some did not.

Made a discussion thread regarding the mod and how it could possibly be configured, no one has commented on it yet.

Sent you a friend request as well, so I can send you a current mod file/get your thoughts.

KattFish: "Figured it out."

@KattFish
Ok. Good for you. Are you going to be so kind to share how with the rest of us? Pretty please?
KattFish  [author] 2 Jul @ 12:52am 
Figured it out.

I can't find any either. I'll update the "guide" into an actual guide if I manage to find any.

SC | FlameEater - What mods can unlock cars from Racing seasons? I didn't find any.

@SCFlameEater Yeah. You are pbly right.

In all other aspects the game is pretty good. No -greedy- money grubbing lootboxes. You can't buy them, only earn them, that's fair enough. It's the seasonal crap that mars everything else.
At least in Forza Horizon (starting with the 4th game), seasons always rotate back sooner or later. Even after active development of the games have stopped.
