    And the kitchen is still cooking for sure:



    And...after giving it much thought...I reopened my buymeacoffee site. I wasn't planning on ever using it again, but this time, I'm investing actual money on AI and many hours on these features...which I'm quite aware other modders could get for free in a jiffy, but...I'm sadly none of them.

    So, here it is, in case you want to help out a bit. And please, let me get this straight...mod is free, will always be free, and I don't want ANYONE to think they owe me anything, this...well, just donations. If you happen to have a dime to spare, I would appreciate it, if you don't, or simply don't want, it's ok, I just want people to enjoy the mods. Also...site don't allow me to go any lower on prices, so...can't do much on that. But...anyway, there is the link, I don't want to flash it more than that:

    DONATE

    Currently I'm trying to debug the car, by trying to clear as much as possible the console of errors. Features-wise...we'll see as it goes, but hopefully a few more things can be done.

    I'm also trying to update the thumbs but seems like the Showcase map is broken, so it's hard to do anything right now...

    Well, it's not THAT easy yet, modelling...still on you. At least for now. Helpful with textures though. Lots of text, to describe the mechanisims you need, lots of testing, lots of trial and error...but a gamechanger for sure.

    For example, I wasn't able to make the Phase I talights work fine. All lights on the glass work fine, except for the reverse, it just pops on and off, no smooth lighting effect whatsoever. Tried everything I could, AI too. And in the end...it suggested me to go back to Blender...thought the issue couldn't be there, UV map was correct, materials were correct...it told me to select the reverse light area, and select 'Split'. That's it. Solved. I couldn't have guessed that in a thousand years!

    Anyway, it gets smart with a mid-tier suscription at least...free plans won't do it. No coding specialist too. So...hopefully worth the investment. On my end, seeing all these features in, kinda worth it surely, at this point I thought they would never be added...

    Well, I was being held back by skill issues, and...I still am, based on what I can model, but at least I can double down on features and fixing issues, which is not half bad.

    Sunvisors used to be fixed in place. I got them to move some days ago, but of course, they were all blank in the open side, and in real life, plenty of choices were available...

    ...choices now available in the mod too!



    (Yet another disclaimer, yes, AI made this...possible, to start with. Code flows like water, BUT, lots of manual work is involved here...for example, modelling the different models, that's 100% on me)

    that's how AI should be used, like a helping hand and not just straight up doing the work for you. Keep going, we are loving to see the new progress!

    To be honest, 98% of coding is AI, but...otherwise, all these features are out, I simply don't have the knowledge on how to make any of this work. But I found a workflow that just works...for example, after some modelling by me...this is also working*:



    *Still not final, and still on debugging phase, controls and animations are provisional.

    I intend on making the 205 as interactive as possible, as long as it works, it will be added. Sorry for the update taking this long, but 5.0 will be a huge update, and before I release it, I want to make sure everything just works fine.

    It's been a while. It was supposed to be a basic update but...it earned it:

    screenshot_2026-09-18_14-21-17.png

    • Lights system reworked
      • Every single light source across all versions has been redone and checked
      • Brand new Off/On textures
      • All bulbs turn on correctly now
      • All broken textures fixed, including those in the gauge cluster
        • Odometer now lights up with the main lights on too

          • Mirror (With lid)
          • Lights and mirrors (With lid)
        • Lids can be opened and closed, and lights turn on with the lid open
          • If the lid is open and you try to close it down, the lid will automatically close first to avoid clipping the roof
        • Sunvisors can now only be installed if the dome light module is installed first, since they otherwise have no place to be secured
      • Dome Light and Map Light are now functional, providing actual lighting inside the cabin in the dark
        • Dome light has 3 positions, and it pivots depending on which one is set via trigger boxes:
          • Auto (Default, lights up with a door open/missing)
          • On
          • Off
        • Map light has 3 positions:
          • Off (Default, pointing at the middle)

      • Stalks are fully interactive now
        • Lights stalk already had animation for turn signals, but now it will react to all lights being set
          • Fixed symbols (Auto-lights was incorrect, changed to the actual symbols)
          • Tip will turn with lights on, and for high beams, a short pull towards the driver will be performed just like the real car
          • A trigger box at the very end for the horn has been placed, which will follow the stalk as it moves
        • Wipers stalk has been given full interactivity
          • 3 main positions (Use ALT + Y to switch along them)
            • Off (default)

            • Fast
          • Tip will turn when rear wiper is installed and active (Use CTRL + SHIFT + Y to turn it on/off)
      • Door windows are now interactive
        • Controlled via triggers boxes on manual/electric windows controls
          • Each electric window button controls lowering/raising a certain window depending on the side

        • A trigger box has been added to manually operate the ignition

    • Improved damage all over the car, improving the worst spiking issues, especially found in the half rear of the car
    • Cleaned up the console from as many issues as possible, which also means a big clean-up of missing meshes, textures, and more
