Greetings adventurers! Do not adjust your television, the title is as it seems.

This is a thread dedicated to those who work hard making free high quality mods for us, the community. These few individuals work tirelessly day and night sharing their passion with other users. Some users who immediately come to my mind would be @LucasBE for the 1994 ETK K-Series and @Nekkit for the AW Astro, among other users. Without you, users like me would quickly run out of content in-game to consume. If only I had the patience to contribute.

BeamNG has an official content creator program in which The Devs and media creators join hand-in-hand to create high quality video and/or written content for the community and beyond to enjoy. I feel there should be a program modders could take advantage of to get their content in-game at an official level.

Consider this my petition to create an official program in which modders can submit content for approval and addition to the game.

Benefits? There are a few I can think of:

1. This gives modders the highest recognition and gratitude of the land in terms of this game.

2. This bolsters in-game content to a higher degree quicker, giving players more to do, thus increasing community morale.

3. This distributes development load between The Devs and the community, therefore potentially increasing update frequency.

4. This will drive forum users who want to become modders to take the dive.

5. In theory this may or may not increase overall quality of available modded content.

This next paragraph targets The Devs:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have followed development of this game from basically day one (just look at how old my account is). I want to help you guys with in-game content, and I feel this is a step in the right direction. The community wants to help you. Hear this plea from us to you to make this happen. In the long run, I see this as beneficial to everyone.

This next paragraph re-targets the community:

Community, if you or someone you know has suggestions to modded content you'd like to see converted to official content, please voice your opinion. This thread is a safe place to do so. There will be no off-topic discussion and no arguing. This is for your own good.

I thank everyone for their time in reading this.

Alot of the time if a modder has good content and such the devs will often times approach them to see if they want a job working for BeamNG

Aswell, in the early days alot fo developers made mods on the side too, Nadeox1 being a prime example having made the original crown vic and various other prop mods, so just because it is developer quality does not mean it needs to be in the game

Also, downloading the mods off the repo is no hassle, even if you need to do file work, fom where it stands even from a legal perspective, if it is on the official repo, it comes with the game by default (owing to why no copyrighted content can be on the official in game repo)

Overall its a good idea but not fully needed

The cherrier picnic would make my list of "this should be official content"

Beyond that, not anything I would consider tbqh.
