1- Install Nascar Heat Essentials 2 (specially Windows 7 Users) If you dont have the full game CD, you need you need to install the "Nascar Heat Essentials" pack in order to run Platinum-family mods (or any other mod).
Get the Nascar HEAT Essentials 2 installer here (dont worry, it\'s perfectly legal): http://www.themodsquad.info/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=10 Description:Heat Essentials 2 was developed to further simplify installation for new Windows versions and new racers. It eliminates some of the biggest common issues for new racers or those upgrading.
This great package includes...
- NASCAR Heat Core Engine & Files
- Final 1.80 Patch
- NT Patch
- Mod Launcher 2 by TheMask (Critical for new mods & features)
- UI Control Center by TheMask (Critical to get the most out of your graphics)

This does not include the original (or any) carset or tracks. If you have the NASCAR Heat CD and wish to race original tracks, browse to the folders and locate the "Data" folder,
inside copy all the *.trk files to the "run" folder of your Heat installation.
All mods and tracks must be downloaded separately...
Tip: Make sure to install the game in the default location (drive C: ). Making that will avoid issues. :wink:
