    Hello! I was wondering how to make a mod that edits automation cars. I was thinking of editing a Peel P50 and make it have an interior. I have never used blender, so I should start with baby steps.

    You don't need Blender, Automation has interiors now so just make a new Peel P50 in it and add the interior. If you want to make a real mod, it's much easier to start from scratch than to edit an Automation mod.

    Yes, you can download it on the workshop but be sure to use the open-beta otherwise you won't be able to place them.

    How do you place the seats and interior stuff inside the car?

    A newer experimental version with stuff like 3D fixtures - completely freely movable fixtures, adjustable window transparency, etc.
    You can access it through Steam.
    Right click on Automation in your library, click properties then betas and select the open beta in the drop-down menu.
    It'll then update your game.
    However, a lot of mods don't work with the beta anymore, and you'll only be able to use the mods that were specifically made for the beta.

    One last question: How can you make a car pack, like a car but with variants you can choose?
