    This is a guide for users who are new to Beamng drive and the forums. To at least keep the thread alive just say a little hi or something. Anyways on with the guide.
    1. OWN THE BLOODY GAME

    Yes, I know there are some people who are unsure whether Beamng is worth it or not but trust me on this one, it will be the best 20-30 pounds, dollars or euros you will ever spend on a game. If you pirate it then not only are you disrespecting the devs and not supporting them to make it a better game but you will miss out on a whole bunch of features and mods.

    2. Do not bump threads

    This is a common
    new user mistake but when you see a red box below a thread that means the thread is old. If you reply to the thread with that box then that is called "bumping". When you "bump" a thread then that makes it to the top of the thread list and if it is on an old mod then people will be excited that there is a new mod but then get disappointed that it is an old mod which doesn't work anymore.
    3. Don't ask for a release date

    When you see a "WIP" thread or mod then that means the mod is currently unfinished which means no download. Make sure you read the first post of the mod thread just in case you didn't see an estimated release date.
    4. Don't download from third party websites

    Places like Modland, Beamngdrivemods, modsgaming, crashforce, etc are the worst places to get mods from. ONLY DOWNLOAD FROM REPOSITORY AND FORUMS. Those third party sites will give you bad quality mods and possibly give you a virus.
    Mods
    Here is a list made by rli98 of lore-friendly mods
    https://www.beamng.com/threads/list-of-lore-friendly-mods.89148/
    If you would like real life car mods then I have a few suggestions.
    BMW 3 Series E92
    Lamborghini Gallardo
    Ford Crown Victoria
    Ford Mustang S550
    Daewoo Matiz
    Delorean DMC-12
    BMW 3 Series E36
    Peugeot 205
    1999 Toyota Tundra
    Gen 6 NASCAR Chevrolet Camaro
    2020 Land Rover Defender
    2011 Dacia Logan
    Nissan GTR
    Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
    Toyota Crown Athlete

    These are real life car mods I'd recommend but there is more if you would like.
    Ps: Some mods are from a different page from original post so scroll down a little for some of them
    Enjoy the game :)

    Hi, I've owned the game for a little over 2 months now and logged 180+ hours. I might have a problem:p My favorite cars are: ETK K-series and the Autobello Baja Unlimited Class 5. Favorite BeamNG.drive maps are Johnson Valley and West Coast. Favorite mods are American Road and River Highway. BeamNG.drive is now my favorite game of all time, it dethroned Skyrim:) Playing on 35" ultrawide!!!!

    The list seems to not link the mods anymore, try copying this

    Edit
    The devs/staff should probably just have a reminder for people who haven't logged in for a while/are new to read a rules thing, such as the one on discord

    Of course you don't have to like the rules, you have to FOLLOW THEM.
