Issue with mods coming from other websites

Hi, I found cool mods which are not on the Beamng website but they doesn't work. I downloaded zip-files and put them in the mod files (in the documents). Then when I m in-game in the mod menu the mods are here and activated, but nothing changes when I m playing, I don't have the vehicles and maps I m supposed to have. Can someone help me please ? It would be very nice ^^

 

Lots of them have dodgy .exe installers inside the zip folders. They are usually broken or just badly made anyway and only look decent in pictures so I wouldn't go to the risk of downloading and installing them.

But most of the forums here use them now so what do I know....

 

Most of the mods I downloaded are famous and I knew them before, they're supposed to work. I even saw a tutorial where a guy download the same mod I downloaded, on the same website, and it was working for him. It was the Belaz (the giant construction truck blue and yellow which can be destroyed in many parts), you probably know this vehicle.
I mean, Isaw a lot of guys using these kind of vehicles or even real cars like lamborghinis or bmw for example, I just want to do the same ^^

 

t

the mods might need to be re packaged. extract the zip files and check out how there packaged. They have to be packaged a certain way
or they might be really outdatedd

 

What is wrong with this one?

Those lambos etc are really poorly made, they don't drive like real thing at all.

 

Oh thank you I didn't found it I ll take it, but still, if I can download any mods i want it would be cool. It is true you helped me with the balaz but I still have the same problem It should be possible, it is even said in the beamng mod tutorial, in the manual method (the video the developers posted on youtube and on their website) : "Download mods from your prefered website".
I tried a lot of different mods, they are not the source of the problem.
I know some vehicle doesn't drive well, but still it would be fun to destroy cars you know !

Like my Renault Clio or something like that :'D

 

Problem is that we don't know what odd methods those sites use to pack their mods. Also if those come in .exe package they might install all sort of weird stuff, even viruses.

Your best bet is to download a mod from this site and examine folder structure, then change your downloaded mod to have same kind of structure.

 

Thank you for your advices ^^

 

Here is one example, looks nice Ferrari in pics, but when you get in it, it's hard to see outside, no engine sound, after driving a little it stopped accelerating and started acting like a jello, started making weird sounds too. It's not just that they drive poorly, to be able to use them, you have to fix them first.
