Tools

Modifications

Important!

The game requires you to use 1.0.7+ version of Frosty Mod Manager otherwise it's an instant crash during loading.

Photo mode controls

Key Command
TAB menu option Toggle camera
Q / E Move up / down
R / F Zoom in / out
WASD Move camera around
Shift Camera effects
U Hide UI
Info

The Photo Mode uses a different depth-buffer compared to in-game, you may have to pick it manually for depth shaders to work properly, this is done in the Add-ons (ReShade 5+) tab.

Camtool default controls

Key Command
F1 Toggle UI
F2 Toggle Camera
Caps Lock Toggle HUD
F5 Pause Game
Y / H Camera Up / Down
J / L Camera Left / Right
I / K Camera Forward / Backward
Info

All of the keybinds can be rebound inside the Cam Toolkit.

Important!

Freezing the game with Cam Toolkit and hotsampling to a portrait aspect ratio will break the ground reflections, make sure to unfreeze/refreeze the game after hotsampling.

Reshade

Important!

When hotsampling in built-in photo mode your depth-buffer might change which will require you to manually reselect the correct depth-buffer.

Modding troubleshooting

Info

If you have updated your game together with your mods but it still crashes on loading, delete ModData folder from the main game folder and NFSUnboundSDK.dll from Frosty Mod Manager\Profiles to force it to update the profile SDK (if it hasn't done it automatically).

Info

If your game doesn't launch (opens EA app and closes), put the game folder as an exclusion in Windows Defender. (this is only one of many work-arounds, it may or may not help your situation).
