How are you playing? Are you using emulation or an original console? Have you tried applying the patch to a different disc image? Like I said, I’ve never had this problem, so the cause will likely be with how the disc is patched / a corrupt file.
Ok, just an FYI it's not my mod. I'm just helping you trouble shoot this.
I believe pez changed the serial code so GT2 plus no longer loads vanilla save data (which would have broken cars anyway due to parts being moved around).
You can trade between 2 GT2+ saves perfectly fine, the issue is that the original disc data is not compatible with GT2+ due to so much being changed in the database. It was always the case that if you loaded original save game data into GT2+ it was massively broken, GT2+ now just doesn't let you load that broken data at all from the sound of it (I haven't tried so can't confirm).
Yes - there hasn't been enough progress since the last release to put out a new version yet, but several of the GT1+ changes were done in parallel with GT2+ equivalents. Things like the four-door model for the Skyline GTS-4 are already mostly done for GT2+, but I kept them quiet so as not to spoil the surprise when they showed up in GT1+.
Other than that, a lot of what's on the to-do list is either so subtle it's not worth previewing (e.g. the Honda badge is slightly off-centre on the S2000) or so complex that it's only theoretically possible (e.g. rewriting how the game selects the displayed name for upgrades to fix the second RM using the wrong name), so there's not been too much to post here recently. There is still work going into the mod though.
