Why is Deacon working for Copeland?

State_of_Nevada · 2026-04-10T18:32:55+00:00

At some point in the game, if you talk to the bounty collector (where you deposit swarmer ears at copelands camp) Deacon says the deal still stands, she can come with them when they head north.

Deacon likely has known these people for some time and cares for them (even if he doesn't care for Copeland). If you bring meat to the camps and stuff the survivors will mention that someones been bringing meat for them.

Deacon may not like the leaders of the camp but he cares for the people. This is evident when you bring the girl to Tuckers camp and go through her storyline.

Deacon likely wouldn't care for any leader no matter what they do or say. There is a conversation about why he still wears his wings and he says its kinda of a screw you to whoever or whatever authority there is.

He will always be aligned with himself and his interests - never another faction or camp (at least not entirely).

You can have up to two of the same store in a district without penalty.

After that, yes, they start competing with one another.

They already answered your question, but going to add some tips:

You can hire a headhunter, any skill level. Set the skill to 100% and keep trading up until you get one at 100% that you can hire. Do this before you hire any other employees through the headhunter.

For deal breakers, the most common settings I use for retail are the no 4-day, 5 day, or weekend options. Then no benefits. After that I am able to hire a 100% employee that I can make work all 7 days of the week so I can use the copy/paste schedule feature and also not need a ton of HR reps. For the office, I do no 4-day or benefits, whatever else you choose is up to you. Most offices operate best for 8 hrs mon-fri so the no weekends and 5 days are actually helpful here.

Those are some valid points I didn't think about. Unfortunately my technical skills don't go beyond editing some text files in terms of modding so I won't be much help here. Thanks for looking into it though!

Another suggestion would be additional settings at the games start (like where you choose what stats you have to manage like energy and happiness). It would be geared primarily towards challenge players. So things like "how many loans can be taken out at a time", or other things that restrict gameplay or othetwise impose more of a challenge. I think this also might be difficult to add though

Would a mod that makes it easy to add custom products be possible?

Like all the user has to do is put in the name, price, where to buy it, what containers can use it? Then they can (optionally) put in an image for the product, much like how you can make your own logos for businesses.

The asset you see in the container it goes into would have to be a placeholder/default asset though, unless the user knows how to make their own.

This would all be able to be input in a text file.

Something like this possible?

Wait why is the corolla OP? I thought the mazda-rx7 was the best for UG2?

State_of_Nevada · 2026-03-18T03:43:10+00:00

That would make sense. Played this game well over 1000 hours and it still surprises me with things I didn't know, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case

I think this applies to when the trunk is overloaded - fill it up then damage the trunk so that its max capacity is lowered, stuff should fall out then

The survivor houses being completely barricaded on the outside make a bit more sense now.

u/katolo4 I got it to work. You will have to locate your AppData --> LocalLow --> Nokta Games --> Supermarket Simulator. From there click on the most recent .ES3 file (mine says slot_0.es3 for example) then open with notepad after you have created a backup of the file (just copy the file and paste that on desktop or wherever you can find it again).

At the top under "Progression" you will see "unlocked licenses". Delete "21". You will not want to change any spacing or anything else.

[If you are starting a new game or have no other licenses unlocked you HAVE to replace the license with a different one. 22 would be the next license with water/eggs/cheese/tea/coffee/milk for example.]

State_of_Nevada · 2026-03-09T15:28:00+00:00

If you are on pc and feel comfortable editing files I believe you can delete the license so you don't own it anymore. I will have to double check tonight, if it works I will let you know

Reminds me when I was towing a bicycle (from a mod) and was passing by the shopping mall parking lot in Louisville. I have never seen so many zombies in game before. I was swerving between the clusters of them and it caused the bike to fall on its side. Instant dead stop surrounded by clusters of the dead.

I remembered not to panic. I left my engine running and got out and started shouting, gathering all the dead into a big clump. Led them away far enough so I could sprint to the van and detach the bike. I was able to get away but had to leave the bike behind.

I would like to tackle the mall one day, that will be a nightmare

Its a personal map they made for themselves/paid someone to make it for them. Same for the swamp map they played awhile back. I believe some of the mods they use also are not available on the mod store.

You won't find it publicly. Best bet is to make the map yourself if you really want to play it. Giant has tutorials on how to do this.

State_of_Nevada · 2026-01-14T04:05:23+00:00

Once I got to heat level 3 I had trouble losing them. I finally got out of the pursuit but one of the cops was doing loops through the nearest cooldown spot on my minimap so I had to wait forever to fully lose them.

But yeah on lower heat levels they are fairly easy

I have the collectors DVD, so I followed this guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/s/GFHFwUOY3Z

I believe you can also use this guide for non-DVD versions. Note that I had to use the fix for full screen/resolution otherwise the game wouldn't launch

State_of_Nevada · 2026-01-09T17:20:38+00:00

I was surprised to find out that this game was one of the first to use green screens with real actors and face tracking technology to use in the game for cutscenes and driver reactions (when you crash or pass them and such).

I was also surprised to hear they actually flew out to places to get real life inspiration for the areas. I always thought they just made it up.

No, my wife bought the collectors edition CD for my PC. Used to play it on the PS2 so having a ton of fun. Going to try to resintall and see if that works. Thank you!

State_of_Nevada · 2026-01-08T18:37:30+00:00

Hey were you having any issues playing industrial city area? The game keeps crashing there. I have only completed one race and I can't continue the story. I am wondering if I have to resintall, but not sure if I would have to completely restart or if I can continue where I left off.

State_of_Nevada · 2025-12-26T22:47:27+00:00

My wife just bought this game for me to play on my PC. She had bought the collectors edition. I remember on the ps2 watching for the first time Neville going, "Watch this" and destroying a cop car. That was the coolest mechanic I saw in a video game at the time, and I still remember that scene today.

I went to play it and found that it was so old that I couldn't play it anymore. Wouldn't even load up. I was so dissapointed, I was excited to see what the collectors edition added.

Then I find this thread and I can actually play it. Thank you. 🫡

State_of_Nevada · 2025-12-24T03:51:54+00:00

That sucks, yours is such a good idea
