    The automation cars will appear near the bottom of the vehicle selector menu, they're easy to miss. Also, is your game up to date? That could cause some problems

    The automation exports a .zip. Your file would be like this (yourfilenamehere.zip). You drag (yourfilenamehere.zip) into the beamng mods folder in documents>beamng>mods. Done.

    Automation places zip automatically into mods folder, but if you mods folder is not in default location there can be issues.

    Automation looks BeamNG ini file and from there finds where to place zip file, unless I remember wrong.

    You do not have to do any extra steps after exporting your vehicles from Automation.

    If you have other mods, move all of them out and check again.
    It's possible that one of your mos is heavily corrupted and causing the mod system to go down.
