May Summer Car is an iconic open-world car simulator where every bolt and detail matters. But what if your virtual Satsuma requires repairs, but there are no original spare parts in the game? Or do you want to upgrade your car, but don't know where to look for quality parts?
In this article we will look at all possible sources of spare parts for May Summer Car - from official mods to homemade 3D models. Weβll also tell you how to distinguish a good part from βChinese consumer goodsβ that will break after 5 minutes of game time. Spoiler: some methods will save you not only virtual money, but also real nerves.
1. Official Discord server May Summer Car: where developers share secrets
The most reliable way to get original parts β go directly to the developer community. On the official Discord server games have separate channels for:
- π§ #modding-help β here they post links to proven mods with details;
- π¦ #assets-sharing β users share their 3D models of spare parts;
- π¬ #general-chat - You can ask experienced players for advice.
β οΈ Attention: The rule on the server is: It is forbidden to ask for ready-made game builds with mods. They can get banned for this. But no one forbids asking where to download individual parts for Satsuma or Ferndale.
The advantage of Discord is that they often post here exclusive details, which are not on public platforms. For example, user @TeardownModder I recently posted a working model of a turbine for Satsuma 500cc, which increases power by 30%. You won't find such things on regular websites.
2. Nexus Mods: the largest mod database with a rating system
Nexus Mods is the Amazon for game modifications. There is a separate section for May Summer Carwhere you can find:
- π© Engines (from standard
Satsuma 500ccto V8 from Ferndale); - π Body parts (bumpers, hoods, spoilers);
- β‘ Electrician (headlights, generators, starters);
- π¨ Tuning kits (vinyl stickers, rims).
The main advantage of Nexus is review and rating system. Before downloading you can watch:
- How many times has the mod been downloaded?
- What bugs are there (if they are indicated in the comments);
- Compatible with the latest versions of the game.
π‘ Advice: Sort mods by parameter "Endorsements" (user approvals). This is better than sorting by date or number of downloads.
If the mod requires MelonLoader, check the bootloader version at MelonWiki. An outdated version may break the game.
3. Steam Workshop: An easy way to install parts in one click
If you bought May Summer Car in Steam, then the fastest way to get new parts is through Steam Workshop. Enough:
- Open the game in the Steam library;
- Go to tab
"Workshop"; - Find the desired mod and click
"Subscribe".
Pros of Workshop:
- β Automatic installation and update of mods;
- β Virus check (Steam blocks suspicious files);
- β Ability to unsubscribe from the mod in one click.
Cons:
- β Less choice than on Nexus Mods;
- β Some mods may conflict with each other;
- β No detailed descriptions (you have to read the comments).
β οΈ Attention: If after installing a mod from Workshop the game starts to crash, try disabling all other mods and check compatibility. Often the problem is a script conflict.
4. Telegram chats and groups: where rare parts are sold
Telegram has several private and public chats where players exchange mods and parts for May Summer Car. The most popular:
- π May Summer Car Official β official chat with announcements;
- π§ MSC Mods & Help β exchange of mods and assistance with installation;
- π° MSC Marketplace β here they sell rare parts for real money.
In the last chat (MSC Marketplace) can be found:
| Part type | Average price (β½) | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Engine (V8) | 1 500 β 3 000 | Ferndale 5.0L with turbo |
| Body kit | 800 β 2 000 | Widebody kit for Satsuma |
| Transmission | 1 000 β 2 500 | 6-speed transmission from Hayosiko |
| Electronics | 300 β 1 200 | Digital dashboard |
β οΈ Attention: Check the seller's reputation before purchasing. In chat MSC Marketplace There is a list of scammers who sell broken links or viruses. Always ask for a screenshot of the mod working in the game.
How to recognize a scammer on Telegram?
Fraudsters usually:
- They ask for payment via Qiwi/UMoney without guarantees;
- They refuse to show a video of the mod working;
- They don't have any feedback in chat or profile.
It's better to pay via SBP (Fast Payment System) - this is how you can get your money back if you are deceived.
5. 3D modeling: how to make a part yourself
If you do not find the part you need, you can create it yourself. For this you will need:
- π₯οΈ 3D modeling program (Blender, 3ds Max, Fusion 360);
- π Exact dimensions of the part (can be taken from the game using
Unity Explorer); - π§ Knowledge of exporting models to format
.fbxor.obj.
Part creation process:
- Download a model template from the game (for example, a standard bumper
Satsuma); - Edit it in Blender;
- Export to
.fbx; - Import into the game via
MelonLoader.
π‘ Useful resources for beginners:
- π₯ Video tutorial on modeling parts for MSC;
- π MelonLoader Documentation (how to integrate mods);
- π οΈ GitHub with code examples for mods.
If you donβt want to understand 3D modeling, you can order the part from freelancers at:
Exact part name (for example, "rear bumper for Satsuma")
Link to the original model in the game
Required file format (.fbx, .obj)
Time frame and budget -->
6. Alternative sources: where to look if all else fails
If you have gone through all of the above methods, but still havenβt found the part you need, try:
πΉForums and Reddit
On Reddit and official forum Sometimes they post rare mods. Use keyword search:
"May Summer Car [part name] download";"MSC [car model] mod";"Satsuma [part type] free".
πΉ GitHub repositories
Some developers make their mods publicly available on GitHub. For example:
- msc-mods - a collection of mods for May Summer Car;
- Teardown-Modding β there are universal scripts for creating parts.
πΉ Torrents and file sharing services
β οΈ Attention: Download mods from torrents or suspicious sites (for example, Zippyshare, Mediafire) - risky. The archives may contain:
- Viruses and miners;
- Outdated versions of mods;
- Non-working files.
If you still decide, be sure to check the files through VirusTotal.
It is better to spend time finding a reliable source than to download a virus that will steal passwords or break the game.
7. How to check the quality of a part before installation
Even if you find a part, do not rush to install it. Check:
