### Forza Horizon 6: Exploring Car Customisation and the Emergence of Interior Modding
Forza Horizon 6 has captivated car enthusiasts with its expansive open world and stunning visuals. However, one aspect that has raised eyebrows is its car customisation system. While it offers a variety of under-the-hood tweaks and a selection of body kits, it doesn’t delve as deeply into personalisation as titles like the Need For Speed series. A notable absence is the lack of interior customisation options, which is a feature that many players have come to expect from modern racing games. This gap is something that the newly announced racing game *Clutch* aims to exploit, potentially offering a leg up on Playground Games’ latest title.
Despite the limitations in Forza Horizon 6, the modding community is stepping in to enhance the experience. A modder known as Smidgeee has released a mod titled *Customizable Interior*, which allows for basic interior modifications on the 2014 BMW M4 Coupé. This innovative mod enables players to swap out existing interior features and choose colour configurations similarly to how they would paint the exterior of their vehicles.
#### Features of the Customizable Interior Mod
Currently, the mod applies specifically to the BMW M4, integrating existing tiers of customisation with new interior options. When selecting the third stage of interior upgrade, which traditionally only installs a roll cage, players can replace standard seats with those from the Toyota GR GT, the cover car of Horizon 6. Additionally, different levels of weight reduction unlock new steering wheels, such as Sparco and OMP racing options, providing an extra layer of immersion.
The mod further allows players to choose between leather and alcantara materials for their seats and dashboard, enabling a greater range of colour combinations for seat inserts and interior accents. This level of customisation may be limited to a single vehicle for now, but Smidgeee plans to expand the mod to encompass more cars from the Horizon 6 roster.
#### The Future of Car Customisation in Forza Horizon
As the modding process continues and evolves, the potential for increased interior customisation within Forza Horizon 6 looks promising. Should Smidgeee successfully adapt the mod for more vehicles, players might find themselves more engaged with the game, potentially opting for creative customisation over traditional online racing modes.
For those interested in exploring this mod, installation is straightforward, requiring only the extraction of a ZIP file to the appropriate location within the game’s files. While the mod enhances the M4 Coupé for now, the growing interest in interior customisation highlights a demand for deeper and more comprehensive personalisation options within racing titles.
For players contemplating diving into Forza Horizon 6 amidst the ongoing boycott of Microsoft over various political issues, understanding these modifications and how they can enrich the gameplay experience can be essential. Smidgeee’s work shows just how passionate the community is about enhancing and personalising their automotive adventures in Forza Horizon 6.
As players await further updates on the mod and the potential for additional vehicles, the excitement surrounding car customisation in racing games continues to flourish, paving the way for more engaging gaming experiences.
