I've been a long-time enjoyer of FlatOut 2. It's frankly the best racing
game I've ever played. My brother and I spent immeasurable hours on the
PS2 throwing cars at each other and launching drivers through their
windshields (usually through a ring of fire).

Last year FlatOut 2 got Steam Workshop access which re-introduced me to
the world of game modding. I've never actually produced a mod for a
game, let alone a 3D racing game, so I saw this as my opportunity to
realize a childhood dream.

Here's how to make a car skin mod for FlatOut 2 in 2025 and publish it on the
Stema Workshop.

I used these tools

- https://github.com/xNyaDev/bfstool, which is bundled with the steam install
  and mod manager
- Gimp https://www.gimp.org/
- notes on dds files from steam
