Most issues come from leftover files or an extracted zip. Work through these in order.
Missing or pink textures
Pink (magenta) surfaces mean the game can't find a texture file. Almost always this is because the mod was extracted instead of left as a .zip.
- Delete the extracted folder from your
mods/directory. - Re-add the original
.zipwithout unpacking it. - Clear the cache (see below).
Vehicles don't appear
- Confirm the
.zipis in the correct version folder, e.g.Documents/BeamNG.drive/0.32/mods/. - Make sure mods are enabled in the Mod Manager.
- Check that the file wasn't blocked by Windows — right-click the zip, Properties, then Unblock.
Clearing the cache
A stale cache causes many phantom problems. To clear it:
- Open the main menu, then go to Options → Other.
- Click Clear cache and restart the game.
Crashes on load
If the game crashes while loading a vehicle:
- Remove other vehicle mods to rule out a conflict.
- Verify you're on a supported game version — each pack lists its tested version on its mod page.
If none of this helps, reach out and include your game version and the pack name.
