What this mod does

The Cherrier Picnic is a ’90s French compact from the fictional brand Cherrier, made by LucasBE. This page covers the free demo of his paid mod «1992-2003 Cherrier Picnic»: it lets you try out how the car drives before you decide whether to buy the full version.

What the demo includes

  • 1.1 City config with a manual gearbox.
  • 1.4d Foxtrot config, a diesel with an automatic gearbox.
  • Limited customization compared to the full version.

The full version

According to the mod page, the paid version costs €3.80 or $4 and includes around 28 configs. The Repository page has screenshots of that version, so not everything you see in the images is in the demo. The author asks that complaints about paid mods be kept out of the reviews and the forum.

Compatibility

The demo’s latest update is 1.4, from August 2023; the previous one adapted it to 0.27. Reviews from 2024 and 2025 praise the handling and the sound. A user with the paid version commented in January 2025 that the carbon fiber on some parts didn’t load properly.

Tips

Use it as a test drive: if you like ’90s European compacts, the demo gives you a clear idea of how the car feels. Before buying the full version, check the forum thread to see whether it’s up to date with the current game version.
