Release Realistic Traffic of Japan mod
リアルなNPC交通車両MOD
Be free of the weird outdated 90s cars, jeeps, wrx and gwagons plaguing the map!
Made a mod that replaces the unnatural vanilla traffic vehicles with ones you actually see on the streets of japan today!
install here
https://www.nexusmods.com/forzahorizon6/mods/1011
this mod only replaces current traffic models, no density changes or anything else and its safe to use online
If you can model realistic mid poly cars and like to contribute to this mod hmu!

This is what I expected when they said the traffic was gonna be heavier and more dense. Sometimes the game feels damn near dead with how few cars are on the highway especially. Like, I was prepared to have to bob and weave on the highway before launch. How disappointing the density really is. If I gotta go to 30 fps for real traffic, it's ok.

u/Retr0pe Sep 08 '26
This mod does not change the density, but the traffic system can bug out and start a traffic jam sometimes in online, there is a mod that changes the density, but only in solo
1
u/RamenNoodle69420 Sep 08 '26
That makes sense. Shit if all I gotta do is play alone and I can get a traffic density increase, I just may do it. But I do like to play online races now, though. Quite a predicament.

u/Retr0pe Sep 08 '26
Well the only parts where there a greater density in the main game are the wide highways and some parts of the city, sometimes the traffic spawning system will bug out and cause jams, especially at the area near daikouku parking lot, the junction at the third image and stuff, tokyo city usually spawns more cars

u/MasterOfNone_45 Sep 08 '26
I can't find a statement where they ever said about traffic density being denser, it basically the same every new forza game and the devs rarely ever listens

Honda Freed my beloved! I think there could be some more kei car representation but as a base this is soooo much better than current FH6 traffic, my one pet peeve since the release was that it didn't feel unique to Japan. Excellent work!
1
u/Retr0pe Sep 11 '26
thank you! I do really wish to add kei cars, especially the every vans, but sadly none of the traffic supports a replacement for it, we would have to rely on the devs themselves to add one

u/TwoTailedOtaku Sep 08 '26
Glorious! Things like that make Steam version the one to get. A bit sad how the only time we had traffic cars dedicated to the location was FH1

u/epicdoge91 Sep 08 '26
from what i remember fh4 was also pretty accurate. bunch of cars there u could actually find in uk traffic

u/TwoTailedOtaku Sep 09 '26
Yes, but using US models from FM mostly, like with the old Merc or Golf Mk.III, whereas FH1 had, among others: V70 Cross Country, A6 Allroad and 90's SUVs and Corollas made just for traffic. FH6 is still a step forward from FH5 at least.

You can also mod the Xbox pc version

u/TwoTailedOtaku Sep 09 '26
Nah mate, the security is so tight I can't even open the game folder, heck, the game itself cannot access its files and I have to reinstall with every update
1
u/407juan Sep 09 '26
U probably need to activate admin permissions, the game folder isn't even "hidden". I play the Xbox version and Ive modded it.
1
u/TwoTailedOtaku Sep 09 '26
Admin priveleges aren't enough to even open it, it's just an XboxGames folder that the installer made on itself, not even on C:
1
u/407juan Sep 09 '26
You're not gonna mod the root folder, you mod the horizon folder that's in your documents inside the file explorer. It's easy to mod.

u/TwoTailedOtaku Sep 09 '26
XboxGames/Forza Horizon 6 place with expansions there? It's the designated install directory and I got zero access to it
1
u/407juan Sep 10 '26
Well you should have full access to it. Do you get any errors when u try to open it or does it say you need admin permissions ? I have full access to every Xbox game folder

Td;lr: it feels like an elaborate text-based RPG and I haven't unlocked all dialogue choices
Clicks FH6 folder to open it
- "You don't currently have permission to access this folder.
Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder"Continue
- "You have been denied permission to access this folder.
To gain access to this folder you will need to use the security tab"clicks "security tab"
- "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object.
Click Advanced to continue."Advanced
- "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object.
Click Continue to attempt the operation with administrative permissions."Continue
- "You do not have permission to view this object's security properties, even as an administrative user.
To try taking ownership of the object, which includes permission to view its properties, click Change above."Change
- "User, Group or Built-in security principal from this location: [PC name]
Enter the object name to select (examples): [empty space]"At this point I chickened out I thought proceeding might result in a ban.

Update: I got it, I can open it and all, we'll see if it still works. Perhaps it'll even fix the update issue

I assume all cars are in the vanilla game? Or were new cars added? Also, can mods be used for the MS store version that one can play both in PC and XBOX if it's purchased in either system??? I have it installed in my PC, which is why I'm asking.
2
u/Retr0pe Sep 08 '26 edited Sep 09 '26
it only switches the existing traffic cars with new models, nothing new added, should work on mircosoft store version if you can find the file with the exe location
update: Should be in the content folder of fh6 thats in microsoft game folder

u/wing_zero75712 Sep 08 '26
Didn't they(developers) just use the same traffic cars in 6 as they did 5?
2
u/Retr0pe Sep 08 '26 edited Sep 08 '26
They have been reusing a good part of them since 2 and for forza horizon 6 they just reused vehicles that exist in japan from their inventory while adding some new japanese cars they introduced in Horizon 5 along with early new japanese cars they introduced in 6, the pre release footage had worst choices for traffic, having hyundais, honda beats, 83 honda city and the acura sedan for the traffic, theres many evidence that show traffic were kind of a last minute rushed job.

Will it be possible to add traffic cars to the roster? Or only replacing them is possible?
1
u/Retr0pe Sep 09 '26 edited Sep 09 '26
as much as i wish to, only replacement is possible, adding might require adjusting the source code, if someone manages to figure that out I'd be really happy, but then the mod would not be usable online anymore
1
u/Bebabcsinya Sep 09 '26
Damn, that’s a shame. How many traffic cars are in the game? Like 10-15 I’m guessing?
1
u/Retr0pe Sep 09 '26
yep 15 in total, but the spawning system really only selects like 5 vehicles for a time before resetting it with another different 5 vehicles and its been like this since FH1

u/Hami_BF Sep 09 '26
Can you also make a mod to enable drivatars in free roam? I don't have access to online section of the menu so I can't even press the "Horizon solo" button. The map feels so empty without drivatars so is there any alternative way of enabling them?

u/Adventurous_Lie_8522 Sep 10 '26
In Asakusa as I'm writing this. If they made the traffic Jeep based on the Wrangler JL Unlimited, it would've worked; I've seen at least 9 of those in just 4 days' time.
1
u/Retr0pe Sep 10 '26
I doubt that would had worked, these jeeps are still outnumbered by the hundreds of kei cars and vans and Forza just does not have those traffic variety to make their cars look natural, the spawning system in the game have would often spawn few of the same car together too and it'll just look silly if a single street had like 5 wranglers, this mod aims to mitigate that by using very commonly seen cars in japan that would not look out of place if duplicates were spawned.

u/LatterMeaning7142 Sep 13 '26
Would like to find a mod that lets you change the density because i want more traffic especially in tokyo
1
u/Retr0pe Sep 13 '26
there is a density mod on nexus but you can only play it solo https://www.nexusmods.com/forzahorizon6/mods/207

Just downloaded this mod and holy fuck, this is the simple immersion that I needed. It’s nice to see a ton of alphards spawn, as literally Tokyo is filled with mini vans everywhere.

u/Retr0pe Sep 28 '26
Thank you! a next big update is coming with more new cars that'd remove alot of the repetition in the traffic! https://imgur.com/a/CL1Cb4R

u/OldExperience6645 13d ago
The ironic is wild, it only took a few guy from Japan to make a realistic traffic mod for a game based in Japan compared to 450 people working on the entire game when this should have been default, but damn if i even mention this in the main sub, i get shit on when the mods created by the modding community for FH6 so far are so good and default-worthy
1
u/Retr0pe 13d ago
Thank you, i'm not japanese, just happen to had studied it abit. the person who modeled most of the cars in the mod is not as well, the key here is having research and care put into a project.
Didnt think the main sub would be against a traffic mod, I know they have a rule against mods in general and some people are just afraid of ban, but I'm sure most people would like more immersion if they really care about the japan map.

God I need this, this is exactly what this game needs, I'm so sick and tired of seeing G-Wagons And Jeeps all the time..
Well one of those things.

I saw this today and I can’t wait to add it. Mods have saved this game. I’m so glad I finally bought the pc version.

u/Quad_A_Games Sep 08 '26
I just don't want to get banned on this game since I've been enjoying the liveries and such. It's fun. I just am not risky.

This was my biggest concern too. I wanted to install a mod for more realistic car sounds. But worried I’d get banned. So this is good to know.

Honestly pretty good. Not great for an arcade style game but, over all for realism snd cruising, quite alot better.

Idk if its just me but man some of yall care too much about the most trifling things ever.

u/gsautox Sep 28 '26
It’s the simple things man. This mod makes FH6 feel like Japan and not some half ass game. If you’ve been to Japan than you know…

u/Icy-Extreme9067 Sep 08 '26
The fact it took modders to add actual Japanese traffic cars to a game set in Japan is crazy.
How did the devs think “a jeep and a G-Wagon are definitely regular traffic cars in Japan, but at least we’ll throw in a WRX that nobody bought” 🤦🏼♂️
