Open World : my abandoned project

Raw gameplay footage of my abandoned mod, "Open World". The goal of this project was to create a true open world experience by removing most of the barriers. To achieve this, the guardrails and some other walls have been removed in several areas and the map surfaces have been edited to be fully drivable. However working on this mod was very time consuming and because the servers were still up during the development, the unfair advantage it would give in multiplayer made be abandon this project. Today, I show you the current state of the mod with minor tweaks and fixes. However this concept isn't completely abandoned. In fact, I'm working on a smaller variant called "Open Areas" : this mod removes the invisible walls and a few barriers around Redview County to let you explore some closed areas that should have been accessible in the vanilla game, on top of making the entire map drivable. You can get it now in early access on my Discord server, and you can watch its trailer on my channel as well. 00:00 - Beginning 01:21 - Last Stallion Ranch 08:04 - Sun Valley Run 12:56 - Coyote Pass 21:09 - Base Point Drive 23:25 - Fork Tongue Trail 25:53 - Troll Pass 27:39 - Riverside Drive 29:01 - Last Stallion Ranch (2) 29:57 - Sunset Tunnel 31:04 - Dritfwood Heights 32:35 - Grapevine Drive 34:06 - Lagoon Trail 37:22 - Gullwing Drive 38:57 - Laguna Rise 41:31 - West Ridge Drive 42:49 - Going to the hideout Please note that the 2 mods above are still restricted by the softlock that happens when the map doesn't load and when you go too far out of bounds. As of now, nobody can tell if a workaround exists or not. Several mods were enabled while I was recording, including : Open World Extended Soundtrack (available in early access) Rivals+ Graphics Preset (v3.2.7) Enhanced Visual Damage No Reset (required for "Open World" and "Open Areas")
