    Hello,
    I have been downloading some mods from the beamng.com website. These mods and vehicles are working mostly fine. But mods I download from other websites, such as beamngdrivemods.com and worldofmods don't work. For example take the school bus ( I have posted a picture). It is available fully in the vehicle selector but it doesn't really work properly in the game. This also happens with some other mods.

    Are there any fixes or should I just forget these outdated mods and download mods only from beamng.com?
    Thanks!

    That's a problem of those websites.
    A lot of them have their mods packed in completely wrong ways.

    All properly packed mods can be installed by simply placing them in the mods folder ( https://wiki.beamng.com/How_to_install_mods )
    I advice to contact those sites and tell them to fix their wrongly packed mods.

    If you want to fix them by yourself, repack the ZIP so it has the following structure:
    ZIP > folder named 'vehicles' or 'levels' depending on the kind of mod > folder with the name of the mod > various files (.jbeam, .json, etc)

    By repacking the mods, how should I do it. For example with the school bus, the mod was properly packed but only shows this: Capture.png

    That's a outdated version of the mod.

    sums it up perfectly. Don't use these websites, all mods found on them are stolen from here without permission. If you want the mods to work and you don't want a virus then only use this website.
