    Hello! It seems you are having an issue with the integrated video game modification installer. Don't worry, I'm here to get you back on track in a jiffy!

    Unfortunately, I had a little bit of difficulty deciphering the broken text that appeared on my screen, but I think I may have it. Now, manual modification installation is actually quite easy, and can be done even if you've never used a computer before in your life!

    Step 1: At the top of the BeamNG website, you will see tabs, click on "Mods". It is directly to the left of the "Forum" tab. This will take you the the expansive modification repository.

    Step 2: Select a modification you would like to download to your computer. I would recommend modifications such as: BeamNG Variety Mod, and one of the many realistic sound packages users just like you have uploaded!

    Step 3: To your right there are the green and orange installation prompts you may or may not be familiar with. Click "Download" which will be orange. Do not click, "Install", as you stated you are having difficulty using this prompt.

    Step 4: Your modification will download. If you are using the internet browser entitled "Google Chrome" or a "Google Chrome" affiliate (i.e. "Chromium", "Chrome Canary"), this will be a great time saver for you. If not, please refer to step 4a. Otherwise, skip to step 5.

    Step 4a. In the lower left-hand corner of your screen, you will see your Windows start button. Click this, then navigate to your downloads folder. You modification you downloaded from the BeamNG modification repository should be there and waiting for you!

    Step 5. Open your BeamNG modification folder, this will be located at C:\Users\"yourusername"\Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods. Replace "yourusername" with the username you have set on your computer. Use the Windows Snap feature built into the operating system so you can see both open folders at the same time next to one another.

    Step 6: This is the easiest part. Simply select the modification you downloaded in step 3 and drag it into the BeamNG.drive modification folder. Alternatively, you could right click on your modification, select "Copy", then right click on any white space seen within the BeamNG.drive modifications folder, then select "Paste". The modification will be copied into your modifications folder. It is important you DO NOT unzip the modification, simply drag/drop or copy/paste.

    Step 7: That's it! You are ready to enjoy your new BeamNG.drive modification! If you experience any problems, please refer to steps 7a and 7b.

    Step 7a: If your installation of BeamNG.drive refuses to launch correctly, you will have to rebuild the program's cache. Now, don't worry, it will do it automatically after completing this very simple step! Navigate back into the BeamNG.drive folder that we installed your modification earlier in this tutorial. But DO NOT navigate into the mods folder! Stay on the home page for the BeamNG,drive folder. On the top of the file list, there are folders labeled "Cach 0.5.x.x". Delete these folder and these folder ONLY.

    Step 7b: Congratulations! You successfully clear the BeamNG.drive program cache! All you must do now is launch the program, and it will automatically rebuild the program cache! It's that easy! Your modification should be working fully now!
