Someone posted recently in this community about a The Days Before single player mod that may be developed and it made me wonder.

As servers for games are shutdown I occasionally see fan-run replacements but I'm curious about singleplayer and offline mods. It seems like more of a niche as not all multiplayer games would work as well without other players.

NFS World come to mind, there is mod that allows you to play the game with emulated server (so you can play it offline). Also the community made an effort to recreate the client and restore the game by making community servers (alongside some added custom content).

Maybe MMOs that have custom client or simply localhosted emulated server mod count on this context.

Thank you so much for this, I had no idea, I played this a lot as a kid.

np, NFS World probably bit niche side of NFS even though there was EA Black Box involvement on that game, while the original World has MTX nature, the emulated server deletes them and convert them into the same in game currency that you won from events.

I keeping tab on NFS Edge restoration (Project Verge) as I never played them (It was China only iirc) and it seems pretty fun if the MTX part are gone, hopefully they can manage to replicate the success like in SBRW to allow custom community server.
