    If you want to modify cars, do not edit the ZIP.
    Instead, pick the file you want to modify, and copy it to 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive/vehicles/<vehiclename>
    And then edit it.

    That way, if something goes wrong, you just remove that file and the game will load the original one.



    If you need to recover the original files, use this:

    (If Steam does not detected broken files, you may need delete the ZIP first)
