Compiled QOL Suggestions for Designers

[DEUSFORMA]

Here’s a compiled list of QOL suggestions for designers I think we all can agree on.

Painting by color codes

I’d just love it if we could paint cars in Forza Horizon 6 using color codes, so we could get similar colors that cars have in real life, that many times are not available in Forza Horizon. So please.

Paintable Roll Cage

With the roll cage installed, the player should have the option to paint the roll cage.

Paint engine parts

Title. Paintable engine bay and parts. For photo ops etc

OEM Paints from All Manufacturers for Any Car/Decal

Just like how Gran Turismo 7 does it. Make OEM paint schemes from all manufacturers available for any car/decal. Might be wishful thinking but all for accessibility and creativity! [1000027085]

Allow uploading custom decal/vinyl in vector format (SVG)

Not sure if this feature will be available in FH6 but it will be awesome if we can upload custom vinyl or decal created in vector editing software (Adobe Illustrator, Affinity). The file format could be in .svg uploaded to user’s Forza account and will be accessible in game. GT7 already implement this system (see screenshot) which really helps in adding logos, replicating real life liveries or designing new shapes and patterns [decal] .

Toggleable “Locked / Unlocked” Vinyl Groups & Liveries

I’d love to see an option in Forza Horizon 6 that allows creators to choose whether their shared vinyl groups and/or car liveries are published as locked or unlocked. The concept would be simple: When sharing a design, the creator can toggle whether it is editable by others. Locked designs remain unchanged, just like they work now. Unlocked designs can be used as a base, allowing players to tweak colors, scale, or small details while preserving the original shape and structure. At the moment…

Individual material types for decals

The ability to apply tints/gloss/matte etc to individual decals or groups rather than a silly slider affecting all decals.

Opacity Slider for Decal/Mask Group (not individual shapes)

As the title says. In the Decal/Livery/Design Editor, the opacity for each individual shape can be adjusted by a slider. This is all well and good but overlapping shapes (for example, both squares with opacity of 50%) creates errors in the design. To simulate a consistent 50% opacity in a complex decal group, we’d need to layer a 50% opacity shape on top of it matching the base color of the car. Using masks is also no good as it completely hides the shape, and mask opacity cannot be adjusted e…

Add Decals on Tire Sidewalls

This practice can be found in many car cultures worldwide, including Japanese car culture. Car enthusiasts in Japan are known to put stickers on or paint the sidewalls of their tires, especially drifters. Additionally, decals for tires range from matte to reflective. The material slider from designing liveries already works here. [1000033581] [1000033582] [1000033580] [1000033579]

Colored Smoke for Drift Tires

Since Forza Horizon 6 is set in Japan, adding colored tire smoke for drift builds would be a perfect fit. Japan is the home of drift culture, car style, and visual expression — and colored smoke is a huge part of modern drift events, shows, and competitions. Being able to choose smoke colors (red , blue , green , purple , etc.) would make drift zones, tandems, and clips look far more authentic and exciting. It wouldn’t affect gameplay, b…

Sort My Designs / liveries by current car

As described in the title - Make a “filter liveries by current car” option. If I’m trying to apply one of my own liveries to say, a 1965 Ford Mustang, a livery that I made 3 years ago, it’d be great to filter only by 1965 Mustang liveries instead of scrolling through the hundreds of paintjobs for every other car I’ve ever painted or downloaded a livery for.

A post like that should be made in the Suggestion Hub

Up to the devs. I’m a bit conflicted too that we have to vote these QOL stuff and get them up to 1000+ votes so the devs actually work on them, otherwise we’re stuck with the same old, same old.

I mean they could see 'em, and know immediately which of these are good for the game.
