Forza Horizon 2 - Extra Options
A quality-of-life mod for the Xbox One version of Forza Horizon 2 that adds several tweaks to the game.
WARNING
An individual or group of people is trying to use Forza Horizon 2 and the mod's name to perform a scan that adds a keylogger to your computer. There is NO "All-In-One" installation tutorial and anything that requires you to insert and run things on your PowerShell is a scam.
Note: Issues will be set to "Contributors Only" at times where I am not available until I can sort out the situation with scams being spammed there. If you need assistance, you can find official threads for the mod in the ForzaMods and Mezcal Discord servers.

AI Usage Disclosure
Codex was used in this project to create the DLL. The actual research was done manually, mostly based on things I already toyed with in the other titles from the series, but I don't yet have the C language knowledge to code something like this fully from scratch (I was initially editing the raw executable). Leaving this here as I believe people have the right to know.
