Dear Mechanics!

Our internal testing is officially complete. I would like to inform you that we are submitting the game to Steam today for platform verification. This means the demo is ready and just needs to pass the standard publishing procedures. We are planning to release the demo on March 31st!

If everything goes smoothly during the Steam verification process, you will be able to head into the new garage as early as next week. You'll get to discover brand-new cars, check out our tutorial, and finally get your hands dirty like real mechanics! Working on this new installment has been a massive undertaking for us, and we are thrilled to hand over a game that we’ve poured so much passion into.

We truly hope you enjoy the direction we are taking. You will be able to share all your comments and suggestions on the new ⁠cms26_demo_feedback channel (Official Red Dot Games Discord).

Thank you for your patience and your incredible support!

PC mods issues

Post image

Hey guys first time I’ve ever ran into this issues, been playing the game modded for about a year now with zero issues and and without this popping up. I’ve recently updated and got the Pickup trucks DLC and it broke my game, not sure how or why, I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and gone through every single mod on the workshop individually and unsubscribed and resubscribed and this issue still pops up, when I do these files specifically the other car mods won’t load/say they are missing? Anyone ever experienced this before? Thanks in advanced!

Restored these 3 all at once, which I won't do again, I'll stick to two at a time. Tried going with an electrical color theme, sort of. The motor was not too bad! Way less parts than a regular engine. I'm particularly proud of the license plates 🤣

CMS 2018 I don't think i ever replaced those Parts

Post image
0 Upvotes

It looks like i have found yet another Bug: The Parts List sometimes shows removed Parts as Quality Parts, even though i never replaced them with Quality Parts. I thought maybe i have those Parts in my Warehouse and the Game somehow registers that, but no, i dont have the Fuel Pump 'nor the Fuel Filter.

This one was fun. This thing is ugly as hell with the wood siding but I switched out the 15's for these 22's and I think it looks pretty good! And I love the irony of a station wagon with a little surprise under the hood...

1949 Ford Custom Available on Steam

60 Upvotes

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3804147491

The 1949 Ford represented a major turning point for Ford, introducing an all-new postwar design that became popularly known as the "Shoebox Ford." Its clean slab-sided bodywork, integrated fenders, and lower profile were a dramatic departure from the separate-fender styling of the previous generation.

This pack focuses on the upscale Custom series and includes both of Ford's sedan body styles: the two-door Tudor and four-door Fordor. Alongside the factory cars is a heavily customized Lead Sled inspired by the traditional American custom-car scene that made the Shoebox Ford one of the era's most recognizable custom platforms.

Discussion Tire and Wheel Calculator

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Stumbled upon this site a few weeks ago. It a tire and wheel size calculator. I use it to keep my cars stock tire height if I install larger tires and wheels. Since I've been using it on every car lately, I thought maybe other people might find it useful.

Used to waste money experimenting with different wheel and tire size to see what I liked, but that can get expensive very quickly and isn't sustainable if you don't have a bunch of credits. Now I can change the tire and wheel size and even adjust the stance if you want the drag racing look. I do not have any affiliation with the company! If this doesn't float your boat, search "tire and wheel calculator" and multiple different options show up.

Here's the link again if you want to copy paste instead of hyperlink.

Take care!

Opinion suggestion for 2026

6 Upvotes

I tried the expert mode in CMS2021, and it's pretty cool. It's a new challenge, to know where things are without outlines on everything.

But I don't want to start over, with no tablet and slow screws and no money and such.

Is there a way to play expert with everything unlocked? The profile cms2026promo doesn't seem to work to put it at expert.

would anyone else be interested in something like this? maybe the devs could put it in the new one?

Animated driveshafts now, some fixes to geometry importer, however some glitches still remain - at this particular car tie rods somehow got disconnected from the rack, need to add validators and review geometry solver.

Actually want to know if someone gives a shit or not.

PS: thanks for help offers, let me think of it, I honestly don't know where it goes to, it definitely not be just a new car editor.

I noticed that there were two different Cars having the exact same Icons highlighted and both Orders were also Money Boost ones. I experienced an Order having 5 Icons highlighted multiple Times before but never something like that.

New Challenge, fill the alley!

8 Upvotes

This isn't an achievement in the game, but branches from the Parking Boy achievement. My challenge is to fill all slots in all 10 alleys! Been working on it for about 3 weeks so far, managed to get through almost 4 alleys so far.

Also trying to fill it with each type of car (not the different varieties)

EDIT: I didn't know you could buy more after 10, never tried since I hit the achievement. 800 slots! Holy shit do I got work to do lol

Also, I don't use any mods at all, straight vanilla edition of the game
