BeamNG.drive Repository
The BeamNG.drive Repository is a free catalog of community modifications for BeamNG.drive, available on the web and inside the game. Categories include vehicles, scenarios, terrains and maps, interface apps, sounds, license plates, track builder items, skins, Automation content and mods of mods. The in-game repository supports search and category filters, and shows statistics such as ratings and dates. Players can install through the in-game Mod Manager or website actions. Subscribing downloads a mod and enables automatic updates when its author changes it. Browser downloads use ZIP archives that can be placed in the game's mods folder without extraction. The Mods Manager can update, enable, disable and manage installations. BeamNG recommends using no more than 20–30 mods simultaneously because conflicts can cause problems, and warns that older mods may be outdated or broken. BeamNG.drive supports Windows and experimental Linux; other systems and compatibility layers are unsupported.
