When I recently reinstalled NFS: Most Wanted, I wondered if the game is able to be a look more visually appealing.
Here is a screenshot before / after modifications:
The first thing I discovered is “NFSMW Resolution Changer“, small utility that allows to set any custom resolution of the game (originally maximum resolution was 1280×1024, no widescreen support).
Resolution was big improvement for the game, but original textures looked stretched and blurry on HD screen. Fortunately user “FDen” did a great retexturing work and improved resolution of many textures in the game, so it looks awesome in HD now. The mod is called “Modern Rockport“. To use it, you will need a DirectX texture replacement utility – Texmod.
To combine both these methods of improving game’s graphics you need to run them both as follows:
1. Run the nfsmwres.exe resolution changer.
2. Run Texmod.exe (“Package mode”)
3. Choose “speed.exe” by clicking on the folder button on the top.
4. Press the small Folder button in the middle and select “Modern Rockport 1.0.tpf” file
5. Run the game by pressing “Run” button in Texmod.
Here is how you run the game:
That way, the game will use new textures and HD resolution.
I have mirrored all these tools here for download:

Some scereenshots of modified game:
cool!
thanks for share!
not working i windows 7.
Works for me on Windows 7 x64.
Maybe you need to patch original game to 1.3 beore.
Wats up does it run on widows 8
the texmod file says it has a virus, there fore i cant open it
:S
It is a false positive, because the Texmod is changing the way an executable runs (to get the desired effect in game)
This is often done by some viruses, and AV’s cant distinguish between good and bad..
Here is a Antivirus report:

Works but takes about 5-10 mins to load (black screen and then starts as usual) the textmod up,
Maybe ur computer is weak. By me this take 1-2min

Hey man, everything is working fine except the fullscreen mod. I’ve tried it before on my laptop and it still isn’t working. Any idea why? I really wanna play nfsmw fullscreen xD
Thanks!
Try pressing CTRL+ENTER in window mode?
Or maybe you have selected wrong resolution in NFSMWRes
black screen
1. Try waiting longer
2. Make sure you have 1.3 version on NFS:MW
Speed.exe doesn’t work 🙁
Try to reinstall the game and apply 1.3 patch
Hey modern rockport1.0.tpf was not recognised by tex mod
Just re-download tpf file
When launching with the run button, I have this message : “Shit happened / D’OH”.
Made me smile for the d’oh thing, but still doesn’t work… what can I try?
Try to reinstall the game and apply 1.3 patch.
Download Texmod.exe and TPF file and try to Run again
do you have to click launch on the resolution thing?
No!
Just leave it hanging on the background – it will bo it’s job when you launch the game from textmod.
I run it with texmod and the resolution hack open but the resolution won’t apply it stays at 1024×768
Very cool. Looks great. One problem. I downloaded extra cars. When I open the game with these directions with the resolution changer and the text mod, it uses the original nfs.exe to open the game. So it doesnt load my extra cars!! The short cut .exe is the one with the -mod extension that loads mods to the game.
Is there a way to change which .exe file location the resolution changer to use?? So it loads my other mods?
all i get after downloading 82 MB and waits for 1 hour.. after that everytime i waits for 5 minutes and i get rubbish..
and wait a second. where are my mod cars.. i want my sesto elimento back..
thank you so much.I try that and it work great!
Texture Mod worked nice but it doesn’t run game with nfsmwres.exe resolution changer.(excuse me if i have Grammatical mistakes)

it does not work
it works perfectly if anyone cant open the game see your monitors highest resolution and set that res to resolution hack 😀
how many mega bites is modern rockport
This is the best TP mod ever. Is there a way to integrate the textures them selves into game? ( so I don`t have to load them every time using TexMod) I am skilled with TexEd if that is needed.
Deniyorum 🙂
okul var mı bugün??

This MOD is great…. awesome… But it takes some time to load 5 – 8 minutes… but it works..
AND 1 MORE THING!!!!!!
Isn’t this available for LCD monitors? because I have a LCD monitor…
JUST CURIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THX SO much i was looking for the modern rockporn mod for A long time
THX mate, my favorite game, and I’m so glad, to play it in HD, just big thx again :-)!!!
The Sun shine on U!!!
its very good……
The texture mod is extremely ugly… it looks like they smeared the trees n such rather than upping the texture quality.
Being honest? I don’t notice a difference…The boot time could also be improved.. a lot.
Windows xp. It is writing: shit happened
How to get the widescreen on this mode?
Please…
not working in windows 7
He is saying that windows is cant save the screen
This is awesome great improvement if you follow the steps, and have v1.3 installed, see version when you load up game in main menu corner. Also the “shit happened” texmod msg vanished when I applied compatibity settings. And game works, but no mods :S
hi I applied the texmod but it gives me an error message that speed.exe has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way
Please make sure you use 1.3 version of NFS:MW
I followed the directions and the textures aren’t loading correctly or something, the title screen says modern rockport so i supposed it worked but its not doing what its supposed to for some reason
