    I'm trying to mod a stock car from BeamNG.drive. I can't find the Installation folder that tutorials have talked about. It'd be nice if a modder would come along and help me out. Thank you!

    The path for the game vehicles is osdisk(c)/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/beamng.drive/content/vehicles/

    It may not be quite correct but I think it is about right.

    To quickly find your installation folder:
    Steam library > Right-click 'BeamNG.drive' > Properties > 'Local Files' tab > 'Browse Local Files' button
    That will open a window at the game's directory.

    If you want to mod, you should never ever directly edit/modify the files in that folder.
    Instead put modified files in the folder at Documents/BeamNG.drive, which is basically a mirror folder that has priority on loading.
    That way, in case of problems, you just remove the files from there instead of having to redownload 6GB of game :)
