Issues with installing mods from forums.

I've been having this issue for some time ever since I crashed my game in 0.22.0 in March or April. (I painted a "No Textured" Bruckell LeGran, if you were wondering) Anyway, after that point, while I could still obtain mods from the in-game mods repository, BeamNG.drive would not notice the addition of mods from the forums (those ".zip" files). I could obviously still put them in, put BeamNG would act as if I never even put them there, literally limiting my options for downloading mods in-game. And yes, this happened ever since I re-entered the game after painting a vehicle with a broken texture.

 

Have you tried clearing your cache/doing a clean reinstall/checked that the mods were installed in the correct folder? The mods folder location has changed since .22

 

I have the folder location in my Quick Access in my File Explorer. The clearing cache, I am opening the game directly,not via the launcher. I have also reinstalled BeamNG a few times.

 

You can still clear your cache through the game directly, so have you done that?

 

No, I don't know how to do it in-game, only in the launcher.

 

Oh well if you're launching it directly through the files you can still clear it:


You may also be moving mods into the wrong folder, so make sure you are putting them in the correct one.

 

When I launch BeamNG, I skip the launcher process entirely, so I can't clear cache from there. All of my mods that I download from the in-game mods repository works, but not any other methods.

By now, I think it might be some faulty core files, so I'll do a clean install and see what happens next.

Edit: I also launch it through a shortcut on my taskbar, but I think opening it up via the files could make the launcher show up.
