    I tried to install few mods.

    1. The vehicle mods that have a folder named "vehicles" inside the .zip file are installed with no problem ( I just put the .zip files in MyDocuments/BeamNG.drive/mods).

    2. But those that don't have "vehicles" or "levels" folder inside the .zip file don't work for me. What I do about them is: extract the .zip files; create "vehicles" and "levels" folders inside MyDocuments/BeamNG.drive/mods; put the extracted folders in the "vehicles" folder for the evhicles and in "levels" folder for the terrains. Terrains show up in the menu under LEVELS with a message: "WARNING: no info.json available for this level". When I try to import them it starts loading and that's it, it loads forever. The Vehicles show up in the Vehicle Selector with "no image" and when I try to import (apply) them in the game nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    For the infinite loading levels, those were probably made for an older version of the game and needs to be updated to work in the latest version.
    For the vehicles, are you sure nothing happens? Or it actually loads but you don't see the model (Press K, if you see a skeleton made of green lines, the vehicle loaded, the model not). That's because those mods are old, and need to be updated to be working again.

    I see, so how much time does it take usually to be updated so they can work again and does this always happen with every new update of the game? About the vehicles - It loads only a small element that looks like a license plate and after that I can't do anything, it's like the game freezes. Nothing happens when I press K.

    Mods are not official part of the game. It's not the developers that have to update them, but their authors :) - It purely depends on them. Some are gone inactive, others just don't.
    As for the vehicle, it looks like it's encountering some error when loading the vehicle.

    Can you send your game log (Documents > BeamNG.Drive > 'torque3d.log) - Make sure loading that vehicle is the latest thing you did.

    Is there an option to install earlier version of the game then, so I can use these mods?

    The Monster Truck V3 is a very old mod. I'm quite sure that's has gone incompatible now.

    Mind writing what actual mods are you trying to use and that doesn't work?

    And no, I believe it's not possible to update the game to an older version..

    - - - Updated - - -

    Correction, the mod works fine in the latest version (expect some textures error because it's not using the newest feature).

    I think the problem is on the fact you installed it in a non-correct way. Can you describe how you installed it in details?

    Sure

    Terrains:
    DirtJamV1.3
    Insane_Testing
    Rally_Forest
    UltimateTerrainV4

    Vehicles:
    BKL-Steam-Roller
    dragpickup
    MonsterTruck_V3
    MonsterVan_V1
    Moonhawk Lowrider
    pickupTrailer

    These are just the first that caught my attention and I wanted to try but none of them seem to work for me.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yeah for example MonsterTruck_V3

    1. I downloaded MonsterTruck_V3.zip file
    2. Extracted it
    3. I created a new folder named "vehicles" in Documents/BeamNG.drive/mods
    4. Put the extracted folder from the MonsterTruck_V3.zip file in Documents/BeamNG.drive/mods/vehicles
