    So I got beamng yesterday and I got some mods. I know that some mods you put in documents/beamng.drive/mods while some you put in documents/beamng.drive/mods/vehicles or /levels. The ones that I have to put in documents/beamng.drive/mods/vehicles or documents/beamng.drive/mods/levels will not show up in game. Only the ones I put in documents/beamng.drive/mods will show up. Anyone know why this is or am I doing something wrong? :confused:

    They should look like

    Documents / BeamNG.Drive / mods / vehicles / *folder with vehicle name* / various files

    &

    Documents / BeamNG.Drive / mods / levels / *folder with level name* / various files


    Those mods looks like that?

    Should the mods be unzipped into those files or no?

    well the mods are a .zip file but if i extract it, it will show up ingame but not let me use it. It is just a gray box.

    Quite sure Windows (7 and up) already comes with a zip-utility. Just google around.
    Or you can try 7-Zip which is a pretty good, free software.

    I extracted (with just windows explorer) from my downloads folder into documents/beamng.drive/mods/vehicles by right clicking on the .zip (in my downloads) and clicking extract all and then clicking browse to find documents/beamng.drive/mods/vehicles. Then I deleted the .zip from my downloads.
