Just select the “SUSPENSION” tab in the top and scroll down until you find the “HEIGHT” adjustments

The front and Rear Height will change the height of the body off the car.Īfter coming to the liked value, you will need to change the front spring length to fit the new height.Ĭlick in “EXPLODE CAR” to open all doors so you can see the engine bay and fit the spring in there.Īfter lowering the suspension, you need to adjust the engine to don’t collide with the suspension frame in RWD cars or to fit the driveshaft in FWD and AWD. Unmark the option “SHOW BODY” to make you see through the body of the car, move arround and search for a spot where you can see if are any collisions. Select the “ENGINE” section in the top to edit their values, in the most of the cases, only changing the “Y” axle is enough. But it will depend on each car and engine. Go to “PARTS” and adjust all related to the exausth system: With the exhaust is the same principle, just adjust the height to fit the new engine height. Sometimes, increasing the height of the exhaust to fit the engine will make them colid the rear bumper, so, just edit the rotation “X” axle. In RWD and AWD cars, you will need to do the same with the driveshaft. Select “DRIVESHAFT” in the top menu, and adjust the height and the inclination using the “Z” rotation axle of it to fitt the transmission and the differential. If you want, you can edit the factory wheel size, it will make the car spawn with this size wheel, or you can only change them to see which will fit better when you are building your ride. *This is not necessary, do it only if you want. You need to edit the config file in a text editor.Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021_Data\StreamingAssets\Carsĭ:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021_Data\StreamingAssets\Cars (replace ‘D’ with drive letter if different).Search for swapoptions= under the category after accessing the configuration file you want to edit, then type the engine names you wish to add (if adding more than one, put a comma after each name).NOTE: They should be written as filenames rather than in-game names for example, the I6 DOHC BU2 Turbo engine in-game is named engine r6 2jz t in the filenames.The filenames may be found in the Localization file (also in the StreamingAssets folder). If you want to change the default engine, change type= under swapoptions= to anything you want.After you’re done editing the config, it’s time to confirm the changes made and adjust the position/scale of the motor, etc.TIP: Instead of editing the existing cars, you can copy and paste the config and bodyconfig files of the car you want to edit, then add numbers to the name, and it will add it as a new version, but will also keep the existing car variants. If there is only one config/bodyconfig, name them config1 and bodyconfig1.
