With this tutorial you can have all DLC cars in your PC version of the game.

- 1. Patches -

First of all you need to patch your game to the lastest official version of the game, V1.02 doing that you will already have the ''Team Racing Pack'' cars into your game and will be able to mod the game to install the other two DLC packs and many other mods if you want. If you have the Steam version of the game you can skip this step,but if you have the retail version you will need install those patchs.

- 2. Unpacking -

For you to be able to install both of those DLCs and most of the mods for NFS Shift you will need to unpack de game files,that will extract from the archives all the game folders where most of the mods go,since this will extract all the compressed inner game files to folders that will make your game folder enormous,making use of some big part of you SSD or HD (A little bit more than 10GB) and that consequently making the game loading a little longer on HD's. Knowing those things if you still wanna proceed let's go!

1 - Download the Shift unpacker
Author: acti0n and .bat lines fixed by wabbit

Download

2 - Extract the files into your game directory
3 - Double click on the ''game_unpack.bat'' and a prompt command window will open
4 - Wait untill the process is done,when is done,just press enter and you are done

(A big thanks to the Steam user named ''wabbit'' for updating the .bat unpacker,thanks to him the cars from the ''Team Racing Pack'' are now acessible even after the process of unpacking.The error occurred due some missing lines in the .bat file)

- 3. Unnoficial Patch -

This step is not necessary but the unofficial community patch have a lot of minor fixes to the game that you may want. ''The Read Me'' file includes all changes and the files that do them,if you don't like something you can just delete te file/folder with the things you don't like,so try it!

Unnoficial Community Patch V1.05

- 4. JSGME -

But I can still help you folks that wanna do it with the source links that I used to create this topic!
