I can not get mods to work

100% i have watched so many tutorials on YouTube. i have downloaded about 4 mods ALL going into my USER/document/beamng/mods folder. I can not figure out for the life of me why this stuff won't show up? sorry if there's like 100 posts on this but trust me, I've read most of them and they keep saying make sure you're putting it in correct folder blah blah and i think that is the correct folder no?

 

What mods are those and where did you get them?

 

they're mods from beamng site. just a couple vehicles and 2 maps

I downloaded game through steam does that matter?

 

Where did you get your game from? What version do you have?

 

got it through steam and auto updates so should be the latest?

 

Can you give me links to exact mods you tried installing?

 

so i just put them in the steam folder of the game and they're showing up.... lol nothing ive found for the past hour said to do that. thanks for trying to help though man!

 

they have to go in steam/steamapps/common/beamngdrive/mods for them to work for me thats what you did? correct?

 

Normally (atleast with recent mods) you'd download them and they will come in a .zip file. Then the entire .zip file should be moved to the mods folder in the documents. Considering you said you did this, my only guess is you got the mods from elsewhere, which aren't packaged correctly for the game to handle

 

You put them in Steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/content/vehicles?!! You should NEVER do that!

 

Normally the only time a mod needs to be extracted and put into the game files is when it's a much older mod which is no longer working properly. Even then, most of these mods don't work atall, so there are actually very few mods you should ever have to go to the Steam files for

 

oh wait why not lol.. i put them in steam/steamapps/common/beamng. and now they are loading should i not do that?

 

are they in a mods folder or in just the beamng folder?

 

yes sorry in the mods folder. that's okay right?

 

It's interesting you say this, because I don't seem to have that folder atall.

You shouldn't really have to. Doing it with the mods folder means the mod manager will work correctly in-game, and in general the game will freak out less. Again though, a link to atleast one of the mods you were trying to install would help us out alot
