Car Woohoo Mod v1.3  

Version 1.3
Release Date: April 30, 2025

Requirements: Base Game, XML Injector (latest version necessary)

This mod adds functional cars with various features: travel, vacations, dating, skill development, and romantic interactions. Now car ownership in the game goes beyond a simple decoration!

🚗 Key Updates:
🧼✨ Fixes and Enhancements
🔹 Resolved Text Splitting Bug
I’ve eliminated the mysterious 0x0000000 placeholder strings that were causing those awkward, empty or “Text Split” messages. I didn’t realize it was affecting so many players 😅

🔹 All Mods Now Compatible with Base Game
No more pack requirements! Everything integrates seamlessly with the base game 💾✅

🔹 All Items Now Under “Transportation” Filter in Build-Buy
Everything related to cars and vehicles is now conveniently grouped together 🚗🪪

🔹 Streamlined Translation Folder Structure
I’ve made it easier for translators to update strings, making the process smoother and more efficient 💬

🧩 Tested with Patch 1.114.46.1030 (PC) and 1.114.46.1230 (Mac)

⚠️ Important Note:
🧩 Do Not Delete the [makeitsizzle]CarWoohoo_InteractionTuning.package File
This core tuning file powers the Car Woohoo interaction. While other build items are optional, this one is essential. Removing it could lead to:

❌ Missing or Faulty Interactions
❌ Glitched Animations
❌ General Mod Issues
