Possibly stupid question - Vinyl groups from older titles

I like to create fantasy liveries, but I have neither the time nor patience to create each vinyl group used in creating a livery. So, since Forza 4, I have downloaded the work that is out there others have created. I (obviously) don’t sell my designs, I just like them for my use. And I really appreciate the talent and work others put in. Sometimes, if I like one thing someone’s done, I will download all the ones they make to throw them some extra cash.

Went to make a Porsche F1 entry on the Lotus F1 car and I cannot figure out how to import previously downloaded Vinyl Groups that I have saved in previous games. Will FM7 not let you import locked groups and designs?

Thanks

Well, yeah. You can’t import other people’s vinyl groups. Only they can import them, if they want to, and share them so that others can use them.

Even though they were shared in previous games?

Yep, only the original creator can import a design or vinyl from a previous game and share it.

I don’t want to share it, just use it. I understand that I can’t share someone else’s work and I wouldn’t. I just make my own liveries for me, and like I said, I don’t have the time or patience to create them, especially the more intricate ones, so I have downloaded them in the past. I just want to keep using what I have already used in past titles.

Ultimately, no big deal. I just have to drive very plain cars.

Thanks for the responses

Not necessarily, you could always try a search in game - despite the lack of storefronts, I’m sure there are plenty of good quality vinyls that have been shared.

You can import any design and vinyl that you made
for any game after FM4.
I believe you can go FM5–FM6–FM7
FM5–Horizon–FH2–FH3–FM7
etc…etc…
No more sharing or gifting…
