    So I'm new to this game and the first mod I downloaded was the CRD monster trucks. Found instructions on how to install and followed them closely. I moved the downloaded zip file to C:\Users\TKracht\Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods, went in game, went to mod manager and nothing is present... Deleted the file, redownloaded the file, and repeated the process, still nothing. I assume I have the newest version of everything.

    I also looked around to see if anyone else was having this issue and either it hasn't been resolved or didn't pertain to my problem.


    Please help!

    Not sure what's up with that. It sounds like you are doing everything correct.

    You're just putting the whole CRD.zip file there right? Not the folder inside the zip.

    Is your game installed on a separate HDD/SSD? Have you tried a different mod? There are rare occasions where the mod isn't packed up correctly and won't show up for me. You could also try reinstalling the game is that's not too much of a hassle.

    Try other mods. If none works, you might have a misconfigured UserPath.

    You can check the current configured path in startup.ini in your installation folder.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. @Matchbox201 I'm throwin the whole zip in. @jackh4x everything's installed on a single hhd. I have not tried any other mod yet so I will do that first. If that doesn't work I will reinstall the game. Will post back here with results. Thanks again :)

    Ok so I reinstalled BeamNG, redownloaded the crd monster truck file straight in to the required folder, along with multiple other files, and still nothing...

    That's wrong..

    1) Do not install mods in the game's installation directory!
    2) Install mods only in Documents/BeamNG.Drive/mods
    3) You must not extract the content of the ZIP. You just have to place the ZIP in there, without any further steps.

    Everything is pretty much explained here aswell:
    Installing_Content

    Exactly what I'm doing. I'm downloading the file directly to the mod folder in documents. Still nothing.

    Did you modify the 'userfolder' path (startup.ini file in the game's directory)? Because in that case, then you have to put your mods in the path you specified, not the default one.

    In the screenshots you posted above, you have extract the ZIP of the mod.
    That's wrong, and should not be done. Are you doing the correct way now? (ie. just putting the ZIP in the folder, nothing else?)

    Are we still talking about that CRD mod? I have it and it works just fine there.
