How do I make a mod for BeamNG.drive?

I love BeamNG, it is probably my favorite game, -Yes, I have no life.- and I've always wanted to make a mod for it. But all that comes up when I google how to make a car for BeamNG.drive, it comes up with how to make a map, how to add someone else's mod, in game engine/part mods, the JBeam editor, or how to change the paint. which I don't want! Please help!

 

Well, what exactly do you want to make?

 

A car. Specifically, a 1985 Toyota Trueno Apex, because it is a square car and that would be an easy start.

 

First off, I'd check the BeamNG wiki. There's tutorials on everything there. Second, do you know how to model?

Making a vehicle is hard, and I'd recommend you to start with something simpler, like skins or maps, before doing a major project.

 

You have to know how to make jbeams and modeling/texturing to make a car and that can be quite difficult.

 

Okay, Ill take your advice and start with something easier. I will start my car project in the future. Thanks for the help!

 

I'd start with skinning. Check the wiki. I recommend the simple skin tutorial, as that's how I started.

 

I want to make a '16 Nissan Versa but... IDK about texturing. Meh, I'll learn.

 

making a car is VERY HARD. Making a car can take months even up to a year to make, you dont just throw it together in a few hours. I dont have much skill in the car building but i can do lots of things for making maps.
