They don't exist. What I liked about older need for speed games, NFS2-4 in particular, was they weren't afraid to have outlandish/surreal tracks for racing. These days if you want that you're not going to get licensed cars like in the 90s. Manufacturers like ferrari or porsche want their vehicles to be presented in a beautiful and realistic fashion. Because of that, game developers are going where the money is which means making settings that are realistic.

Game developers could make racing games that use their own proprietary set of cars but there's no money in it. Look at the burnout series for example. The last genuine burnout game was in 2011.

Because of licensing, and what game developers are incentivized to create, we're never going to get racing games like we had in the 90s ever again. It's pretty much entirely up to modders to recreate that feeling we miss.

>is nfscars.net gone

Unfortunately yes and I'd assume it will be gone for good tbh. It might come back but it's already been months since it went down.

You can still access the 2021 version of the archive here (for getting files): https://archive.org/details/nfscars.net.2021
Can also see the website as it used to be here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240106222745/https://www.nfscars.net/

The website we're on seems to be the best substitute at the moment.

The topic of this thread is to request files and then users can either link or point into the direction of those files.

Does anyone have the official car add-on files in the standard .viv and .qfs format? The .exe files you can find on myabandonware aren't working for me.
