BeamNG.drive
Thirty seconds in 7-Zip tells you what a BeamNG mod is, whether it is complete and whether it will fight a mod you already run. The folder names, the file types and the signs of a healthy archive.
Mod basics
Material systems, map reworks, removed functions, version checks and fixed bugs: the five ways an update breaks a mod, across BeamNG, the SCS truck games and Farming Simulator, and a patch-day routine.
Farming Simulator 25
FS25 reads zips only, rejects file names with spaces or brackets, and since September disables Lua loadstring. The whole PC routine, from the folder to the mod selection screen and the log file.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 and ATS
Where the mod folder is, how the Mod Manager works, why the mod higher in the list wins, and why the 'created for a different version' warning is advice rather than a block.
BeamNG.drive
The wrong version folder, a half-finished download, an extracted zip, a stale cache or one broken script: the eight reasons a BeamNG mod stays invisible, with the two-minute checklist that finds the culprit.
BeamNG.drive
6,681 downloads in seven days, and these twelve files took the biggest share: a free dyno, a Tesla pack, the E46 M3 and nine more, counted from our own download log.
Farming Simulator 25
GIANTS' 20 October patch adds animal workers, year-round vineyard planting and a requiresPower option for tool mods, and it follows a September patch that disabled Lua loadstring. What script-mod users need to know.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 and ATS
Eleven new Road Trip Tourist Boards, a cross-border Route 66 board for the highway's centenary and the 2025 Volvo VNL in AI traffic. What is in the 20 October beta and how it sits with map and traffic mods.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 and ATS
SCS opened the 1.62 beta on 22 October with new garages across every map, three special DAF XG+ editions and the Improved Material System for the Iveco S-Way. How to join, and which mods to watch.
BeamNG.drive
The Cherrier Percheron, split-screen and faster mod loading arrived on 19 October; three hotfixes followed. What broke, what was fixed, and the update routine that keeps a long mod list working.
Mod basics
Mod archives run to gigabytes because of 4K texture sets, meshes that ship several times over and audio sampled across the rev range. Zip cannot shrink any of it. Here is what that means when you download one.
BeamNG.drive
Where the BeamNG.drive mods folder is on Windows, how to switch a mod on in the mod manager, and why mods stop working after a game update.
