What this mod does
Used Car Generator is an app that creates used vehicles in a random condition and places them on a random road or parking lot on the map. It’s perfect for buy-and-sell roleplay, for hunting abandoned cars or for adding a touch of realism to your Freeroam sessions.
What you can adjust
- Overall condition and mileage (leave blank for random).
- Chance of it spawning parked and maximum model year, useful for forgotten old cars.
- Use of the game’s population data and an option to include modded cars.
- Seeds to repeat the same car or the same condition.
- Wear on more than 25 parts, with an option to balance it and experimental body deformation.
How to use it
With Random Location the car spawns at a random spot; with Camera Location, right next to you. You can also apply wear to the car you have selected or set the condition of each part by hand. Worn parts have effects: misfires, weak starts, more engine friction or a rough idle.
Compatibility
It’s in Beta and it’s the author’s first mod. The latest version came out in September 2025, a few days after 0.37. The configuration is temporary: it’s lost when you change maps or reload.
