    Right now mod updating is really annoing and almost impossible. i have around 80 mods installed on beamng and how do i know if there is an update out for them? i need to look on the mods page every day and see if there are any mods that had an update, (mostly a lot) and then i need to delete and reinstall the mod. why is this so difficult?

    isnt it possible to make a build in mod updater. like you guys did with the auto installation of mods you can already do via steam.

    this would be a really nice helpfull feature!

    If you really like a certain mod, you can watch it on the mod repo and you'll be alerted when an update comes out for it.

    Doesn't it automatically notify you if a mod you have downloaded gets updated? I've been getting notifications for as long as I can remember (after repo launch of course).

    For op: to update a mod, just download the file to your mods folder and it overwrites the older one. No need to delete first. I have over 250 mods and I manage updating them easily. And built in mod updater is something that I believe will come at some point. Just not through steam. Be patient:)

    I have no idea where to see what mods need updating. my mod manager only shows the mods nothing else

    no notifications for mod updates. Also 250 mods is too much with that many I'm sure a few things are broke even if you cant see them. With the 25-30 I have some start to conflict each other.

    250 mods is just a beginning.

    I have around 550. A bunch of them are maps though.
    Unfortunately, many things are broken. I'm just too lazy to sort through the mods causing problems.
