Car Park Capital: How to Use Custom Blueprints

Create and Save Your Blueprint

First, open the Scenario Editor:

  1. Go to New Game > Custom Scenarios.
  2. Click Create Custom Scenario.
  3. Select Start Scenario Editor (you must enter a scenario name when prompted).
  4. Build your desired building, office complex, or structure.

To save a building as a blueprint:

  1. Open Blueprints > Create.
  2. Select your structure, give it a clear file name, and save it. (Don’t forget to name your file!)

Pro Tip: Use clear file names (e.g. MyBuilding.cpbp) so you don’t lose track when creating multiple blueprints.

Important: How to Save Your Scenario to Keep Working Later Saving a scenario and saving a blueprint are two different functions! To keep working on your builds later, you must save the scenario itself:

  • In the Scenario Editor, click Save > Save and to Menu.

To reload and add more builds later without starting a new scenario every time:

  • Go to New Game > Custom Scenarios > Select Save > Open in Editor.

Locate Your Saved Blueprints

Open the installation directory of Car Park Capital (easiest via Steam):

  1. Open your Steam Library and right-click Car Park Capital.
  2. Select Manage > Browse local files.
  3. Open the following folder: Car Park Capital\saves\blueprints

Here you will find your created blueprint files ending in .cpbp (for example: MyBuilding.cpbp).

Move Blueprints to Normal Game Folders

Go back to the main installation folder and navigate to the assets folder: Car Park Capital\assets\blueprints

Inside, you will see four subfolders:

  • small_parking_garages
  • medium_parking_garages
  • large_parking_garages
  • scenario_editor (Used only by the editor — skip this one and do not copy files here)

Copy your .cpbp files from saves\blueprints into whichever size folder fits your build best.

Example Path: Car Park Capital\assets\blueprints\large_parking_garages\MyBuilding.cpbp

  • Note: You can choose whichever category you prefer, but sorting blueprints by size makes them easier to find later.
  • Crucial Rule: Only COPY the files, do not move them! This keeps your original blueprints safe in your save folder.

Place Your Blueprint In-Game

  1. Restart Car Park Capital.
  2. Load your main game save.
  3. Open Blueprints > Place.
  4. Select the category folder where you copied your file.
  5. Choose your custom blueprint and place it anywhere in your city!

You can now use your self-created structures in normal gameplay!

Important Notes

  • Do I need mods or third-party programs?
    No. You only need to copy your .cpbp files into the existing game folder.
  • Do I have to create a new scenario every time?
    No. You can reopen your saved scenario at any time under Custom Scenarios to build and save additional blueprints.
  • Can I create new custom category folders?
    No, the game won’t recognize them. Always use one of the three existing size folders (small, medium, or large).
  • Will game updates affect my custom blueprints?
    Game updates or verifying file integrity may overwrite files in the assets folder. Always keep a backup copy of your .cpbp files.
  • Do custom objects work properly in-game?
    Yes! Functional items (like desks) work as intended and affect local parking demand as usual.
