Reobtaining the DLC vehicles

[Some Modder]

Saints Row 2 - Is it possible to get DLC vehicles back? yes but only through modding.

The only vehicle of the DLCs we can get back is Temptress which Tera Patrick drives but what if we edit the DLC homie to drive other DLC vehicles?

First we need to identify which vehicle is which in the game's code

(Corporate Warfare) Apex - bike_exotic02
(Corporate Warfare) Bee - plane_stunt01
(Corporate Warfare) Commander - boat_speed04
(Corporate Warfare) Elite - car_2dr_exoticsports08
(Corporate Warfare) Lightning - car_2dr_muscle05
(Corporate Warfare) Oppressor ULTOR - heli_4dr_police03
(Corporate Warfare) Relic - car_4dr_classic03

(Ultor Exposed) AB Destroyer - plane_fighter02
(Ultor Exposed) EDF Scout - sp_EDF_Scout1
(Ultor Exposed) Pulse - sp_trike01
(Ultor Exposed) Stallion - car_2dr_sports08
(Ultor Exposed) Vulture - heli_fighter_02
(Ultor Exposed) Temptress - car_2dr_exoticsports07

To edit the DLC homie you need to unpack dlc_submission_1.vpp_xbox2 and once that is unpacked then the name of the file is dlc1_homies.xtbl using a table editor.

With Helicopter homie will not get out but you gotta knock out the DLC homie in order to reobtain the vehicle.

With Plane, Make sure to head over to airport before calling homie but homie will keep running you over so maybe take out homie or wait until they stop running you over.

Is this really what I think it is? I'm too tired/busy to look into this right now, unfortunately.

You can also just get a save that has the dlc vehicles and use the garage editor tool to extract the dlc vehicles and inject them to whatever save you want (xbox 360/ps3 stating this because dlc vehs only came to be on xbox and ps3 versions of sr2), I had hazard create a stand alone garage manager/editor tool. I had hazard make this standalone tool because his collection editor is rather buggy and broken platform to platform. I personally spent a month+ testing every game version besides gog gamesaves across every single saints row game. I reported well over 100 bugs and issues and it seems to be fully working now in update 1.1. However the method you posted is what I used to use all the time to get specific vehicles + variants years ago and is good just incase you don't have another save laying around with the dlc vehicles or if a save with them can't be found.

You can basically see what i'm talking about here in my overview video, this was originally a unlisted video that I linked to in another video on my channel. I however have now made the video public just in-case, it might help somebody eventually. It's also a good way to share customized vehicles with friends, rare, unobtainables etc etc etc.
I might eventually make a thread about this idk lol. It's kinda hard to make a thread for a tool that spans across multiple saints row games across numerous platforms.
