NFS Shift 2 and start mod in EA App?

[littbarski]

Hello everybody,

I am new to mods in Need for Speed and I just wanted to play Shift 2 in Windows 11, but with some changes. I found interesting mods, like for the camera, but want to change little things.

I unpacked all Shift 2 and tried to start it by -loose, but it did not work.
So my question is only at the beginning:

• can I play an unpacked Shift 2 at all in EA App?
• is the -loose parameter still the same today, or which parameter can I use and how? (exe property, EA App starting parameter?)

I ask this as the unpacked version is easier to maintain, and I had no success in using QuickBMS for reimport.

Thank you!

I found out now that there is a BFF Repacker, and this works that I can change a file and repack the BFF.

So my question is actually answered, as I can repack then and don't have to use an unpacked version.
