    Hello everyone! Firstly, I want to apologize for the automatic translation, I don't know English well :(
    Secondly, I want to say that I'm surprised that something like this hasn't been implemented in the game yet.
    The essence of my request is simple, please add a button that refers to the location of the mod in the computer folder, or the repository (if the mod was downloaded through it).
    It is VERY difficult to find a mod manually, because modders sign zip archives anyhow. And if you don't like some car and you want to delete it, you have to remember at least what the archive is called, or select it by trial and error, which is VERY inconvenient and takes a LOT of time.
    I am attaching an edited screenshot as an example of what I would like to receive.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, I had the same problem, and I thought I could edit a default car in the game to make it waterproof, but the .zip files have different names

    I agree, an easy way to fetch a modname is missing, but:
    There's an hardcore-nerdy workaround to find a mod's filename from a vehicle's pic:
    1. Go to the vehicle selection page and select any vehicle (mod) you like
    2. Press [CTRL+U], which opens the CEF dev tools
    3. Press [CTRL+F] to search exactly for the following string (copy it from here):
    url("/vehicles/​

    It will find the first picture within the page, with an URL to a vehicle, showing the selected car and tata :cool:, you have the filename of the mod cause the picture is taken from there.

    Not nice, but it works :) and saves plenty of nervs :oops:...
