Mod installation question

[SpeedFreakGT]

do I need to download JSGME to use mods or do I just put them in my common, cars or tracks folder?

I'm sure you get noobs on here that ask this stuff all the time so I apologize, I'm just used to using nexus mod manager for skyrim and witcher.

if I do need to download JSGME could someone give me a link? everyone I try is a deadend.

thanks, I'm looking forward to Assetto Corsa

For mods you should know the folder structure. In assetto, all mods (cars/skins/tracks) go into the content folder.

If a mod you downloaded has a content folder, you can simply paste in your AC folder. If you have only the name of the mod as folder and then immediately all files in it, then you must manually scroll through, content/cars for new Cars, content/track for new tracks and for skins its content/cars/<carname>/skins
Pretty selfexplanatory.
Also these folders never go in documents/assetto... Always in your steamfolder ../Steam/steamapps/common/assettocorsa

Not sure for the apps tho. Most of the time authors do include readmes though

Thanks for such a quick reply, just as soon as Dirt Rally downloads im gonna try to down loading a car for assetto corsa and see if i can get it to work.

If apps have their own custom icon they'll usually need to be extracted at the base assettocorsa folder, since AC reads app icons out of a different folder than the actual program. But some will be going into assettocorsa\apps\python\, you can usually tell because instead of containing 'apps' and 'content' folders it'd just contain the app's folder name. Almost all modding is done wih the Windows folder structure which is nice.

So is that where the natural graphics mod would go?
