BeamNG gameplay mods

Here are 22 mods that change BeamNG.drive gameplay: missions and campaigns, races against the AI, chaos modes, crash effects and systems that change how you drive or play on foot. They're all free and each mod page links only to the official Repository or the author's forum. About the version: 0.40 came out on October 19, 2026 and four of these mods already declare it; the rest list 0.39 or earlier, and we say so as-is on each mod page.

The best BeamNG gameplay mods to start with

• Advanced Engine Tuning and Wear: air-fuel mixture, piston wear, battery, alternator and an app to tune and repair. Already for 0.40.
• Traffic Chaos: control how aggressive traffic is, whether it respects traffic lights, and even make it chase you. Ready for 0.40.
• Tandem Drift Leader: record your drift run and a car replays it in front of you, or chases you door to door. For 0.40.
• Smoke Dust FX: new tire smoke and dust, colored to match each surface. For 0.40.
• Extra AI Race Mission: six race modes against the AI, from a normal race to elimination. For 0.39.
• AWS Tornado MOD: tornadoes with winds that flip and lift cars, hail and an on-screen radar. For 0.39.
• The Hawk: a retro police campaign with story chapters and original music. For 0.38.

How to choose

• Missions and campaigns: they add objectives to freeroam. Some only work on specific maps, like the 29 Skeleton Coast scenarios or Builderz on East Coast USA.
• Crash effects: Fluid Spill Mod leaves puddles that reduce grip and Dynamic Sparks adds sparks and fire. Running several at once can lower your FPS.
• For BeamMP: Fluid Spill Mod and Jump Button are also used in multiplayer; for the rest, check their mod page.
• After updating: 0.40 disables your mods. Enable the ones that already declare that version first, then the others, one at a time.
