| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| Game crashes on load | Disable mod, install patch 1.3 first, then re-enable. |
| Ferrari is invisible | You missed a texture file. Check that .dds files are in the mod folder. |
| Handling feels broken | Some mods assume a different car slot. Try replacing the Lamborghini Gallardo instead. |
| Mod Loader can’t find the game | Run it as Administrator. |

| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Mod Loader crashes on launch | Missing Visual C++ Redistributables | Install VC++ 2015-2022 x86/x64 from Microsoft. |
| Ferrari has no wheels / invisible | The .modrar expects a different base car slot | Open the modrar with WinRAR (temporarily rename to .rar). Edit CAR.ini to change baseCarSlot=GALLARDO to baseCarSlot=PORSCHE (or another unused slot). Re-rename to .modrar and re-import. |
| Textures are black or fluorescent pink | Missing texture files or incorrect DX version | Run ModLoader.exe → Settings → Force "Texture Quality = High" in-game. Also, ensure the mod includes textures.bin. |
| Game freezes at police scanner | Mod conflict or corrupted GLOBAL folder | Restore your backup GLOBAL folder. Only activate one car mod at a time. |
| "Failed to load .modrar – Not a valid archive" | Corrupted download or incorrect file extension | Redownload the mod. Ensure the file ends exactly in .modrar (not .modrar.zip or .modrar.rar). |
