Car Dealer Simulator News

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
A big economy update is here, preparing the game for the upcoming Up 2 You DLC. This is another step in developing systems that will support new mechanical parts and even deeper gameplay in the future.

[h3]What has changed?[/h3]

1. Parts now directly affect vehicle value
From now on, the price of parts directly translates into the value of the car.
Part value = base price × durability.

This makes the calculations clearer and more intuitive.

2. Labor now matters
Your work is now also included in the vehicle’s price.
Each part replacement has a service cost that increases the vehicle’s value.

Service cost scales with the value of the car.
Better car = higher labor value.

3. Better balancing between vehicle tiers
The same part can appear in both early-tier and late-tier vehicles.
From now on, labor cost balances the difference and better reflects the class of the vehicle.

[h3]What about profits?[/h3]

The changes have been thoroughly tested across multiple scenarios.

• The average profit per vehicle has not changed.
  
• However, market values have been adjusted.
  

That’s why it’s worth checking your current listings and making sure the prices are still attractive to customers.

Some vehicles listed on the marketplace may now have a lower price than before the update.

This creates a clearer, more scalable, and future-proof economy system.

[h3]Other changes:[/h3]

• Improved transporter behavior on uneven terrain
  
• Improved vehicle mass and center of gravity

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
Today we’re back with vehicle customization in the upcoming Up 2 You DLC.
So far, we’ve shown how the car’s body changes when parts are replaced, and we’ve revealed one of the new colors. But this is just the beginning!

In a dedicated tuning zone, you’ll be able to wrap your cars with selected shapes and patterns. This will let you create truly unique compositions.



Decorations can be applied in layers. Arrange them freely. Change the size and color of each element.



Patterns and add-ons are grouped into categories to make the new mode easier to navigate.
Nothing stops you from mixing styles however you like.

Once you’re done, new textures will be baked in.
At any time, you’ll be able to come back and edit the design again.

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
Today’s update introduces a brand-new vehicle. Off-Rider Highland.



Produced during the same years as the Summit (2006–2010), the Highland was aimed at drivers who wanted the same rugged capability in a fully enclosed SUV form. Both models offered seating for five, but instead of an open bed, the Highland featured an extended rear body, providing more protected cargo space and better everyday usability.

Sharing the same proven platform, it kept a sturdy suspension, high ground clearance, and solid construction. This made it equally capable on rough terrain while offering improved comfort and weather protection for daily driving and longer trips.

The vehicle is available from Reputation Level 8.

[h3]Other changes:[/h3]

• Fixed the behavior of vehicles and trailers left on sloped terrain. They no longer roll away.
  
• Fixed incorrect rear light behavior on vehicles.
  
• Improved the terrain around the compressor area on the player’s lot.
  
• Removed flickering curb textures near the compressor.
