    Hello - trying to help my son troubleshoot why he can no longer download mods in the game. Getting an error about repository connection nil - can anyone help or tell me where to look for a log to point me in right direction? I checked firewall and beamng has exception, but seems like it can't connect - mod says downloading, but just goes forever until it tosses the "nil" error.

    Thanks in advance

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :c If I get mods manually, will they be subcribed automatically when it's fixed? Or will I have to redo them. And do you have an ETA on when everything will be back up and running? And if you don't mind me asking, may I ask what's happening?

    No ETA. It's possible it requires a game's update to be fixed properly (soon)

    I like these mods, but other websites also have different ones. Beamng website is very cool but you can't find everything. For example you can't find "real" cars, which seems logical beacause of the copyrights I guess.

    That's a problem with those websites.
    Most of them pack their mods in the wrong way.

    You can fix them yourself by repacking those mods so that they have the correct structure:
    ZIP > 'vehicles' or 'levels' folder > 'Folder_With_Mod_Name' > Mod files

    Done that, you should be able to install them as the guide linked above says.
    If they still do not work, the problem is from the mods themselves.
