Many Forza players encounter a frustrating issue where their meticulously applied tuning parts, body kits, and custom wheels don’t appear on their car thumbnails in the Creative Hub. This guide will explain a straightforward method to ensure your shared designs always showcase your Tuning Parts Car modifications accurately.
The most reliable approach to guarantee all your upgrades are visible in your Creative Hub thumbnails is to prioritize the order of customization. Specifically, always apply your performance upgrades and visual modifications, such as body kits and aftermarket wheels, before you begin any paintwork or livery design. This process seems to be the most critical factor in ensuring the game correctly renders your car’s thumbnail with all your chosen tuning parts. By establishing this order, you minimize the chances of encountering visual discrepancies in your shared designs.
However, there are situations where you might adjust your tuning parts car setup or change wheels after you’ve already started working on the paint. In these instances, a simple refresh trick can effectively update your design’s thumbnail. Once your paint job is complete, navigate back to your paint library and re-apply the existing paint design to your car. Following this, go to the vinyl application screen. Here, make a minor adjustment to any vinyl – even a slight shift to the left and then back to its original position is sufficient. This action prompts the game to recognize a change in the paint design, forcing a re-save of your work. Finally, and importantly, always select the option to “Save Design to Current Car” (or the equivalent first option presented).
This sequence of steps ensures that the game captures the most recent configuration of your tuning parts car, including all body modifications and wheel choices, along with your paint design. By consistently using this method, particularly the refresh and re-save process after any modifications, you can confidently share your designs knowing that the thumbnails accurately represent your complete vision, showcasing your car with all its tuning parts intact as intended. Give this technique a try and see if it resolves any thumbnail display issues you’ve been experiencing with your Forza designs.
