    Completely delete whatever files get left over in your directory after you uninstall the game, then reinstall. Don't use mods from sites like Modland and World of Mods, their security sucks and are riddled with viruses.

    i cant really screenshot it, cuz the message doesn't pop up, but i can explain it.
    whenever i spawn in a car, i cant move it even when i use manual, and the steering doesn't work either.

    Found the same car before it was taken down on the land of mods. No issue, so it isn't the regular mod itself. Dunno about WOM though.

    I was thinking maybe they added something malicious to the file only on that site.

    Try erasing EVERYTHING to do with it. Then clear cache.

    sounds like the files for the cars in game got corrupted. Go into steam and verify integrity, then launch in safe mode

    Really weird. This is the worst I've ever seen this happen. Did you remove all mods?

    Try running windows defender, do a full virus scan.
