List of Lore-Friendly Mods

I've decided to create this list of mods that in my opinion fit the lore of the BeamNG universe.

This list mostly consists of vehicle mods that could be considered lore-friendly, maps I think are dev quality and other miscellaneous mods.
However, some players will have a different criteria on what is considered 'lore-friendly' so I've divided this list into 3 categories: A, B, C Grade.
For any paid mods, I've put a [PAID] label in the mod name. Just use CTRL + F and search [PAID] to highlight them.

If you feel that I've made a mistake or don't agree with some of my assessments, let me know in this thread.
Also, feel free to suggest any potentially lore friendly mods I may have missed.

A GRADE

• A grade mods are mods in which the quality is very close/at the level of BeamNG devs and would fit right in the vanilla game.
• The main characteristics of these mods is the obvious high quality and the mod being an original creation.
• What this means is that the cars takes inspiration from a variety of different real world/fictional vehicles to create something distinct, or takes 1 or 2 vehicles as inspiration but makes enough major and extensive modifications to the point where it looks drastically different from its original counterpart(s) when compared.

B GRADE

• B grade mods takes heavy inspiration from 1 or 2 vehicles but makes small enough changes that technically it wouldn't be considered a replica of its base counterpart. The design of these mods walk a fine line between inspiration and imitation.
• Reshapes are also included in this section. These are mods that are suppose to be original and distinct creations, but usually just distorts the body of a base vehicle.
• Mods that don't quite fit A or C grade are put in this section.

C GRADE

• C grade mods consists of rebadges; real life vehicles where the only changes made are the name, badges, as well as other very minute alterations.
• Some of these mods were originally real world cars uploaded on the Forums, but were then rebadged to the in-game/fictional brands so that they could be uploaded to the Mods Repository.
• Personally, I don't consider these mods part of the BeamNG lore as the devs have stated that BeamNG vehicles aren't supposed to be replicas of real life cars. However I've decided to include them nonetheless as most of them are high quality and some players might consider them lore friendly.

RESERVED SPACE IN CASE IF FIRST POST REACHES MAX WORD LIMIT

 

Only issue is some of the A Grade mods are outdated (they were great in their time tho, loved the Firehawk with all that torque, also the Miramar Z Coupe)

Other than that, great list!

 

I would have loved to see the Ibishu Chisai included under A Grade. Think its a great counterpart to the Covet.

 

I've added the Chisai but as a B grade mod. Reason for this is similar to the ETK 1300, the Chisai is basically just the Covet with a distorted body. I'll also add additional info to the B grade section

 

Can you include the KLJP pack?

 

Nadeox and Car_Killer are both devs, so technically two of the maps wouldn't count.

 

Thank you, really appreciate it.

You're right, some of these mods are outdated but I had plenty of fun memories with them and they're still well made, even though they don't work properly anymore.

I'm including dev made mods on my list as they are still mods that are uploaded and available to download from the Repository; they aren't official content that comes with the vanilla game.

Done, added to the A grade section.
--- Post updated ---

Did the devs ever mention character limits for posts?

I reserved the second post of this thread as I was afraid the list could potentially be very long. I'll still leave the reserved space just in case.

 

Can you add the Gavril Bandit?

 

I'd add two maps: Autodrome Most and The Open Cut Mine

 

I've added it but as a B grade mod. The car was originally from Rigs of Rods and the original creator @gabester has stated that he doesn't like to port ROR vehicles over to BeamNG due to the lower and inferior quality.

I'm sorry but I've played around the 2 maps and the quality isn't at the level of the devs.

 

What does the Ibishu Chisai take heavy inspiration from?

 

The Chisai is basically just reshaping the body of the Covet and calling it a new vehicle, without making any other extensive modifications.

Here is a section of the B grade criteria:

 

Could you add wbimp

 

Could you add all of @Bifdro ’s maps?

 

not cliff+

 

Oh, true. I mean, it was his first map, and have you seen Rocky Coast, USA? It’s so cool! He also has a sweet Italian map in development.

 

I've added Abandoned Garage and Rocky Coast USA to the maps section.
--- Post updated ---

Done, added to the A grade section.

 

Thank you very much for mentioning my mods!
