    I have created a custom siren and Nadeox said I should put the folder into Documents/BeamNG.drive/vehicles like this: https://gyazo.com/c23d348e0d9d60a91a91caa3986131d0 but that doesnt work..
    These are the files and folders: https://gyazo.com/30092bce6049e95c5d900fbc00daa88e

    I have also tried make a zip folder and putting that in the mods folder under Documents/BeamNG.drive/mods. Same thing there, the siren doesnt show up under the "Lightbar" in the vehicle config in-game.

    And when I do these thing above, the engine sounds disappears from the game completely. I need to verify the cache on Steam to get the sounds back.

    So what have I done wrong?

    Here's a siren mod I made not to long ago. It has the correct structure for reference.

    Well the easiest way is to make it a mod with the folder setup above. Otherwise it will be broken by game updates. If you need help you could send me the file and I could set it up correctly.

    That, and your jbeam was very weird. Plus, the folder setup was wrong. You had a swedish_siren folder inside of the zip instead of vehicles and art, so the game didn't pick it up. :)

    Do you have version 0.12.04? If so then delete all older versions from your mod folder or game files.
