FAQ
Q: Which vehicles can I start with?

A: Vanilla options and many supported mods.

Q: Are trailers supported?

A: Yes! There’s a 25% chance a trailer will spawn with your vehicle.

A: Presumably yes! I didn’t overwrite any of the main functions of the game.

Q: What does the Nomad occupation do?

A: It gives you extra bonuses on some skills.

Q: Why am I getting a RVOwner trait detected but no RV mods enabled! Message

A: You’ve started with the RV Owner Trait, therefore you must enable at least one of the following mods:

Filibuster Rhymes’ Used Cars! – Animation Alpha
PZK VLC (Vanilla look-like car pack)

Q: Why am I getting a Trucker profession detected but Truck Mod not enabled! Message

W900 Semi-Truck [B42]
Autotsar Tuning Atelier – Petyarbuilt 379 [B42] – Only compatible with RV Interiors for now

Q: What does the Van Survivor trait do?

A: It gives you a preset loadout that spawns in your vehicle trunk instead of the randomly generated loot.

Q: Can you add these vehicles?

A: Since this mod builds on RV Interiors by Mickey Knox and RV Life by Bucho Jefe & thepelona, I can only add vehicles that are compatible with those.

Q: Where can I report a bug?

A: There’s should be a Bug Report discussion pinned, or feel free to post a comment, I tend to reply quickly.

Q: Is this mod fully developped?

A: Not yet, I intend to add more content to it. So be on the lookout for future updates.
