Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 – Modding Engine Swap Options – Guide

Ready to tinker with your virtual ride? I’ve got the perfect guide to help you swap engines like a pro in Car Mechanic Simulator 2021! Let’s dive right in!

• First up let’s find the config file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021_Data\StreamingAssets\Cars

OR

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021_Data\StreamingAssets\Cars (replace ‘D’ if your drive letter is different)

• Next, search for “swapoptions=” under the [6 engine] category in the config file you want to modify. Type in the engine names you desire, separated by commas for multiple options.

• Remember: Use filenames, NOT in-game names! For instance, the I6 DOHC BU2 Turbo engine (in-game) is “engine r6 2jz t” in the filenames. Find these in the Localization file within the StreamingAssets folder.

• Want to switch the default engine? Change “type=” under “swapoptions=” to your preferred choice.

• After tweaking the config, confirm your changes & make any necessary adjustments to the motor’s position/scale. Use the tool editor for that!

• Pro Tip: Create a new version of an existing car by copying and pasting the config & bodyconfig files, then add numbers to the names, keeping the original car variants intact.

• For single config/bodyconfig files, name them “config1” and “bodyconfig1.” If there’s more than one, continue numbering sequentially.

• Lastly, modify the variant name under “carVersionName=.” For example, typing “GTi” into “Emden Jager” results in your variant being called “Emden Jager GTi.”

• And there you have it! Now you’re a bona fide virtual car mechanic, ready to swap engines like a champ!!
