    I am attempting to make a simple skin for the D15. I have gotten to the point of creating the skin itself, and all folders for the skin and it's accompanying configuration are in order, but I just am unable to properly package it so that it will work in the "Documents/BeamNG.drive/mods" folder.

    The only way to get it to be recognizable and properly functioning in-game is to place it in the content folder. When I organize the mod into: "Modname.zip/vehicles/pickup/mod files" and place the zip into the mod directory, the configuration either does not show up, the preview image does not work, the .Json does not work, or the entire D15 will not show up in the vehicle selector.

    Is there a special way I am supposed to zip it? What I have been doing that does not work is to just right click on the "pickup/mod files" folder where the mod is located and select "send to: Compressed(zip)folder"
    I have done a lot of trial and error on this part, so any help will be appreciated.

    first of all I would advise removing any spaces from zip, folder and filenames. Otherwise the wastelandD15.jbeam needs moving up a folder. I think that should be everything sorted then.

    I can't make a vehicle, but I could make a skin for the Roamer that says: "Nissan Armada"
