How to Install Mods in BeamNG.drive

🚗 BeamNG.drive Modding Guide

BeamNG.drive uses a very specific "User Folder" system to ensure that your mods don't interfere with the core game files during updates.

📁 The User Directory

By default, BeamNG stores mods in: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.XX\mods (Where 0.XX is your current version number)

📦 Installation Methods

A. The In-Game Repository (Easiest)

1. Launch the game and click Repository.
2. Find a mod and click Subscribe. The game will handle the download and updates automatically.

B. Manual Installation

1. Download the mod .zip file from Vosan.
2. Navigate to your user mods folder.
3. Drop the .zip file into the repo subfolder.

[!IMPORTANT] Do NOT Extract: Unlike many other games, BeamNG reads mods directly from the compressed ZIP files. Extracting them will likely break the mod or cause performance issues.

🛠️ Common Fixes

• Orange / Broken Textures: Go to the Main Menu > Repository > Clear Cache. This solves 90% of visual issues.
