    How much money are you asking to take to make a mod upon request? I'm a little curious because I don't want to pay 300 dollars for a small car mod.

    It depends who does it. some might accept to do it for free. some not.
    For me personally i dont think id ask for a lot. 50$ max depending on the project.

    i dont think many modders would create a car mod they arent interested in for you even when paid.
    creating a car in beamng from scratch is a very difficult and time consuming task.

    if someone does and wants to be paid properly you have to expect to pay a lot i think.
    lets say it takes 100 hours to create the car - with an hourly wage of 10 bucks that is already 1000$.

    Personally i wouldn't accept sums of money for creating a mod, and i think many others thinks like me, it's just wrong ti create something against your will. Obviously if tomorrow someone comes and offers me 100000 € i would create anything he wants

    With the model already done and the frame jbeam taken from an official beamng car, but a body jbeam which was made from scratch.

    This car took me less then 24 hours to complete. there are still a lot of improvements which could be made but yet again, i did not even spend 24 hours to make this car.

    Actually, Rockstar doesn't give a damn, i mean someone ported some car's from GTA V to BeamNG and Rockstar didn't complain.

    Yeah i know, but i would like to have an official statement from them since as of now the next vehicle that i am creating will have a lot more then just a new model in beamng.
    Saying that i mean i want to upload it on the repo, and if i have permission from the author or an official statement and proof, i can show that and then ill be able to upload it to the repo even if its a model from rockstar.
    If i remember well thats what one of the devs told me.
    i know they dont give a damn, the only reason why i dont do the same with the dirt models is because ive been waiting months already for a reply but i guess they arent as quick to answer or something.
    Either way i will be surprised if i get a reply from take2.

    Aye but what if you made the model, made the textures and it was a trickier to jbeam vehicle. I'd say 100 hours isn't an unreasonable figure.
