    Is it possible for mods made by users (like maps and cars) to become apart of the official game? I ask this because I have my own ideas for what I would like in the game. The things I am thinking of is iconic vehicles and remastered Rigs of Rods stuff.

    I have never seen a mod straight-up beconing part of the game, but it technically could happen.
    The closest to it that has actually happened would be the traffic UI app (whose creator was hired, I believe), the volumetric clouds mod and the Gavril Durham (both mods that shortly after had an unrelated official version - well, the clouds aren't released - ), and the Labrador Beaver, whose creator was hired (TrackpadUser), and later spawning the FPU Wydra.

    I don't know if it is realistic, but having similar cars from diffrent brands and eras would be a nice option to have!

    In fact, if I was able to add vehicles to the game with the snap of my fingers, there would be a whole spectrum of vehicles to choose from!
    --- Post updated ---
    That would be nice! There are some ideas I had for the game (cars, features, etc) that I would like and I am thinking: "Well, if the developers can only do a few at a time, what if people could essentially volunteer by making mods and have the community vote for some to be in the game (of course with pay)?" I would be worried about the results getting rigged and people being exploitative though...

    (Unrelated, but would you like to hear my ideas? I tried sharing them, but they were just ignored...)

    Honestly, I was just asking this because I wanted to add remastered rigs of rods mods and custom shaders so I can turn beamng literally(ish) into rigs of rods 2. The UI thing was a coincedence though. I just wanted the ability to change it into something I would prefer (like maybe do a skeumorphic design like Windows 7).

    I am not a artist or a developer, but I have ideas that I would love to share with the developers or at least the community in the forums.

    (Yeah, I am also bumping this thread to get more attention. I just really wish they would come to light.)

    That seems legit! Only thing is that I have never made mods for a game in my life... I do have some ideas that could be neat though!
