Many novice players cannot figure out BeamNG drive and how to add a car to the game. Although we have already written a page on how to install mods on beamng, there are still questions related to installing machines in the game. Here we will expand on this issue in more detail and explain step by step how to do it.

• We will assume that you have already downloaded BeamNG to your computer and launched the game. You took a ride in the car that comes by default and you wanted something new.
• Next, you go to the mods section with machines for the game and select any one you like, then download it to your computer and unzip it to your desktop.
• Now go to the game directory and find a folder called “vehicles. This is the same directory where you need to place the unzipped folder with the car mod. Feel free to throw the downloaded car into the “vehicles” folder. This completes the installation of the car in the game. Above in the image you can clearly see the folder structure in Bimnzh.
• Next, you just need to launch the racing simulator, select a map, and after loading, select a car to play.

Where to install machines using an example:

• Let’s say you have the game installed in the following path “C:\games\beamngdrive”
• You have downloaded the Lamborghini Gallardo mod for BeamNG Drive from our website.
• After unzipping, you should have a folder on your desktop called “lambo_gallardo_lp570_L1”.
• You throw this very folder into the “vehicles” directory, which is located in the root of the game folder.
• Your path should be C:\games\beamngdrive\vehicles\lambo_gallardo_lp570_L1

How to install car mods in the experimental version of Beamng 0.3.6.9 and higher.

In the new version of the game, the folder structure has changed a little, but the essence remains the same.

• If in the archive with the mod that you downloaded from our website you see a folder called vehicles, and inside it a folder with the name of the mod, then such an archive does not need to be unpacked, you just need to copy it to the BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles folder.
• If in the archive with the mod that you downloaded you see a folder with the name of the mod, then you need to unpack it into the BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles directory.

That's all, this is where adding cars to Beamng Drive ends, then turn on the game and test the newly installed car.

With the advent of the BeamNG Drive game, the ranks of realistic car simulators have significantly expanded. When participating in virtual crash tests, players have a logical question about the existence of mods and how to install them. Currently, there are hundreds of mods that can make the gaming environment more interesting and adjust the game controls to the individual preferences of each player.

Installing car mods for BeamNG Drive

To install mods you will need to follow a few simple steps that even novice players can handle. In the root directory of the pre-installed BeamNG Drive game there are two folders for storing maps and car mods. If players do not remember the directory in which the game is installed, then just search for the phrase “BeamNG Drive” across all partitions of the hard drive.

Next, you will need to unpack the archive with the car mod into the appropriate folder called “vehicles”. This folder stores files that are responsible for the graphical representation, functionality and technical features of each car. At this point, the installation of the new mod can be considered complete.

Installing new cards

It must be unpacked into a folder called “levels”, which is also located in the root directory of the game. After completing these steps, the installation of the mod is considered complete.
