Install mods on BeamNG Drive
- Download the selected mod for BeamNG.drive as a zip archive.
- Extract the contents.
- Open C:UsersUserDocumentsBeamNG.driveMods.
- Move all mod files to a folder named mods.
- Launch the game and verify that everything is installed correctly.
In rare cases, installation differs. For example, when a mod edits an existing car rather than adding a new one. The archive contents must then be extracted into a folder vehicles or levels, and any special instructions noted in the mod comments should be followed.
Utah Extra – relief and colorful desert
The tweak adds a large, well-designed Utah-style map to BeamNG.drive. In the expansive desert mountains, the author placed many testing tracks for cars, including drifting, karting, high-speed courses, mud pits, off-road paths, and jumps. A teleport system helps players move quickly between points, making it easy to explore every corner of the map.
Mount Coot-tha – Australian mountain roads
In real life, not every track is a carefree joyride. The Mount Coot-tha mod creates a dedicated road near its creator’s Australian home. It removes typical city constraints, delivering ten kilometers of winding mountain road through dense forest, offering a pure driving experience without distractions.
Roane County, Tennessee, USA – an exact copy of Roane County
The modification adds one of the game’s most detailed maps: a faithful replica of Roane County, Tennessee. Spanning about 60 square kilometers, it features towns, highways, active traffic lights, and signage. Ongoing updates continually refine visuals, populate cities, and improve AI behavior.
American Road – a well-developed world of 125 square kilometers
The American Road map adds more than a hundred kilometers of diverse American roads, seamlessly integrated into a picturesque landscape. Regular highways, dirt rally routes, mountain trails, swampy terrain, and even a dedicated race track are included, representing a broad spectrum of real U.S. road environments.
Beam Mountains – narrow mountain roads with sharp turns
Designed for enthusiasts who crave extreme driving, this map emphasizes dangerous mountain roads framed by cliffs and ledges. It’s ideal for off-road and rally racing. The creator intentionally minimizes barriers to allow dramatic high-speed departures from the track, with special ledges on major turns for dramatic jumps.
Gavril Vertex NA2 – Ford Focus NA2 and 1000 parts for it
The mod introduces Gavril Vertex NA2, a highly customizable version of a Ford Focus. It features about 1300 tuning parts, 10 engine options, and 53 skins. The kit also adds functional doors, lighting, an interactive interior, and deep engine tuning, enabling players to craft a racing machine or a striking aerial-themed build.
What do you think of BeamNG.drive?
Ibishu JBX100 is the best car for drifting
The Ibishu JBX100 is a new BeamNG.drive creation based on the 200bx. It emphasizes customization and drifting, with a longer wheelbase and redesigned front suspension to improve cornering. Numerous body kits allow varied looks for personal style.
To install this mod, use the non-standard method by placing the vehicles folder from the archive into C:UsersUserDocumentsBeamNG.drivevehicles. An additional modification, Wheel block D-Troxx, is required for proper function.
AW Astro – almost Volkswagen Golf
The mod adds a German-inspired vehicle echoing the iconic Volkswagen Golf. It offers 30 configurations, extensive customization options, and two body styles: EU/USDM Hatchback and Convertible. A notable drawback is that the doors do not open.
Satsuma 210 ’58 – 1958 Datsun 1000 L210/L220 copy
For classic car enthusiasts, this mod faithfully recreates the 1958 Datsun 1000 L210/L220 in BeamNG.drive. It includes multiple configurations, such as two-door convertibles, four-door sedans, trucks, and pickups, plus three color palettes for body, interior, and top. The interior is richly detailed with period-appropriate decor.
VAZ-2101 Zhiguli 1979 – for lovers of Russian cars
Rounding out the car mods, the VAZ-2101 Zhiguli from 1979 remains a cherished classic. The mod offers six ready-made configurations, detailed modeling, an authentic interior, and interchangeable body colors. It also provides realistic, adjustable performance parameters.
Me262 – World War II fighter aircraft
BeamNG.drive gains a historically significant flying craft with the Me262 fighter. The mod provides five configurations with functional weapons and refined destruction physics, plus multiple skins, a jet engine simulation, and cockpit pilot animation.
Crash Test Dummy – 75 kg test dummy
The Crash Test Dummy mod introduces a full human-like figure for testing in various crash scenarios. Weighing 75 kilograms, with movable limbs and no FPS constraints, it becomes a practical companion for evaluating vehicle safety and crash dynamics in different conditions.
Toyota 7 1970 – racing car straight from the 1970s
This mod brings the iconic Toyota 7 to BeamNG.drive, appealing to fans of vintage Japanese racing. Only one configuration is available, but it includes features like a rotating steering wheel and a reflective game world in the mirrors, adding a touch of authenticity.
LAZ-4202 Acapulco – Soviet city bus
The LAZ-4202 is a classic Soviet-era city bus, now rendered with five detailed configurations, a crafted interior and exterior, animated dashboard, unique paint schemes, working mirrors, and headlights.
Mazda T2000 – a surprising Japanese vehicle
This small, three-wheeled truck from Japan arrives with two configurations and functional lighting and mirrors. It’s a quirky, enjoyable addition that lightens up daily gameplay with its unusual styling.
Mods don’t work, what should I do?
If a change causes delays, freezes, or other issues, three reasons may be involved:
- The mod author left bugs or didn’t update it;
- The mod conflicts with game files by replacing core files;
- Different mods interfere with one another and trigger errors.
Two practical solutions exist. First, clear the game cache by disabling mods, clearing the cache, and testing for issues without reactivating the mods. Second, try Safe Mode as described by BeamNG.drive developers.
Modding offers a refreshed gaming experience, and BeamNG.drive attracts a vibrant, active community releasing new car, track, and aircraft add-ons daily. This list highlights popular picks for drivers seeking novelty, speed, and creativity.
