Bad Things in BeamNG Community 

Thank you all for all the positive feedback, comments, likes and your time watching and discussing about BeamNG community here in the comments. I love you (no homo) If I forgot about some topic I forgot to talk about here let me know

People that show beamng as just a crash simulator don't deserve a place in heaven

It's really a big problem that many people think BeamNG is just a car crashing game. And as the game gets more popular or mainstream (unfortunately because of tiktok videos and other trash content, like beamngshorts), more and more people will be interested in the game just because it's popular and not because they understand the point of the game. And they think it's just a car crashing game.

The YT shorts is very relatable. They just make beamng look like a crash meme game. While beamng is actually a physics based deep customization simulator game and should be appreciated

This is honestly what every proper beamng player feels. Thanks for getting our thoughts out and let's hope this helps lead to the take down of beamng shorts

BeamNG Shorts is the main reason I want to see how many dislikes a video gets, I want to hopefully regain hope in humanity Edit: I downloaded Return RU-vid Dislike from the chrome web store, and I now want to de orbit the moon

I swear to god that people don't really know what is going on inside this wonderful game, the difficulty and challenge of this game is completely hidden from people who watch people like Beamng Shorts. I love how you seem to be one of the few people who understand this.

Really great video on an important topic! BeamNG's community might be one of the best game communities I have ever seen, but exactly these things just make me mad. Thanks for covering :)

CANCEL BEAMNGSHORTS

I also hate that people crash to eachother all time. Or pick canon and shoot balls everywhere. Like i wanna cruise with friend not crash into eachother....

I have easily spent an hour comparing older and modern vehicles deal with low traction in offroading. The crashes are great, which is what I came for in 2015, but stayed for the driving and customization.

The worst part about NetNuka is that he doesn’t even edit the jbeam. He just steals, meshslaps, sells it for way more than any BeamNG mod is worth, then calls it a day.

this applies surprisngly to American truck simulator, were there are lot of awful paid mods, plus SCS software DOES NOT allow payware content, quite shocked they're still up

i wish beammp devs would create filtered servers with vote kick so that people who wanna rocket bus spam, node grab, and crash the sim can do that; but the people who just wanna cruise and enjoy the game for what it is can do so in peace. Its so frustrating putting effort into well tuned configs and learning how to drive the car well but get harassed in every server by the beamng shorts viewerbase. it ruins the immersion. I dont like gate keeping, but these people are harming the community.

I really wish there was a proper site for mods on beamng that wasn’t so filled with viruses. I know there’s the official repository and mods on the forums but it’s just a pain trying to find what you want or even get something approved.

Im happier knowing that there are hundreds and thousands that feel that Beam isnt only a car crashing game. I agree everything that you said.

Nice video, but i've got some clarifications - Beamng shorts uses mods from trans modders while making fun of trans people - too many modders are getting into modding with no experience and begin making paid mods without understanding how to make them good first - I don't see really anybody call this game "just a crashing simulator", the whole time I've been in the community. You would think people would say that because it is undoubtedly this game's biggest strength and technological achievement, past rigs of rods (which uses the same software) - I wouldn't say that beamng's graphics are stellar. They are nice, but there is a lot to be desired, look at gt7 or modified assetto for graphics - People do private mods for 1 of 4 reasons, and non of them are to flex on people. 1 is websites like modland, worldofmods, modsgaming, etc. people used to upload public mods and get money from ad revenue, so russians who would upload someone else's passion project would get money off of nothing. (this is actually why private mods were a thing in the first place) 2 is the modder doesn't feel like the mod is good enough to be public, not all mods need to be released. If I make a car for traffic, and it has a lazy jbeam and model, I'm not forced to upload it, especially if its dogshit. If you have spent any time reading the beamng forums, people there do not like lazy mods. The last thing I want is making people hate me and thinking I'm a shit modder cause I didn't want to dedicate 4 months of my time making the car perfect. 3 is the modder is using a model they don't have permission for, so for example I buy a model from a guy and he says that I cannot release the model anywhere, that means that I cannot make a mod public using it. Remember, this game is not assetto. There is no protection against model ripping software. The only thing you can do is cache the dae into dts format so that blender cannot open it. (This exact thing is happening rn with a s13 mod in development by mysterycat69) 4 is the mod is unfinished. Modding for beamng can take a very long time if you want to make mods properly. I will give people I know the mod so they can find bugs with it before I release it, publicly or privately. I don't mind if people like taking pictures with them, it's not my say. Even so, why does it matter If I give my friend a mod I made, even if I'm never gonna release it? let people have fun with their time, modding is a hobby for private modders after all.

the people in the community is fine i'd say but a bit of it is a bit weird. Still nowadays I see people bringing back a old mod without the owner's permission and gets it removed. Kids in the forums begging for a unreleased mod just because they don't know how hard it is to mod, or begging for a private mod.

With over a thousand hours on beam there are so many things that annoy me. The game is a master piece and as everyone has mentioned. People think it's nothing but a crash physics sim. And it's just not. The handling is amazing. But one thing that really really annoys me. Is Real car mods in general. I personally like all my mods to me in keeping with BeamNG lore.

If you stop randomly putting the volume to +5db you'd be a great watch

I agree on everything you said, especially the private mods thing. It happened to me many times to stumble across situations where good looking cars are private. I've seen a comment in a YT video blaming it on the fact that "the creator doesn't want his mod to be crashed all the time", which brings back the problem of the "crash simulator". I enjoy all sorts of stuff in Beam. I even use it for flying! (flight sticks work in BNG) and I too think that the damage physics are part of the experience, but not the main focus of the programme. Overall great video with good points! (perhaps a little suggestion on using less bass-boosted parts, but I don't mind them too much)

Finally, a video on this topic. Thank you for bringing all these points up, I personally dont agree with paid mods overall, regardless of game, but I cant do much about it and atleast BeamNG hasnt been filled with paid mods with no quality, atleast yet.

the paid real car mods technically fall under copyright infringement so they shouldn't really be a thing in the first place

the worst type of shorts are those who they just slide the car aroun an empty lot then add a bunch of cones on the replay editor and pretend they are the best drivers in history

I remember making random mods in automation and just leaving them untextured, im good at it

‘Beamngshorts’ pisses me off. Like you said relating to war and politics has NO PLACE IN BEAMNG.

"bath car" I didn't expect that at all lol you caught me off guard

I'm gonna have to aggree with just about everything you said. I like the LucasBE and LJ74 paid lore-friendly mods. But modland is garbage, i got a virus from there; I don't recommend it. Also people bragging about paid mods just makes me somewhat mad. And i think BeamNG has a lot more potential than just being crash car, haha funni.

realy good video adressing the things that are wrong with the beamNG community, but i don´t get the randomly boosted audio, in my opinion this would be a far better video with regular volume levels, but nontheless great efford, and a good video.👍👍

Sometimes it's really sad what people say about BeamNG like "ohhhh it is just a crashing simulator, nothing else", even if they have no idea what BeamNG really is. Plus with paid mods, I mean if they're lore friendly, I have no problem about them, but like those paid 💩 mods with no quality (like mentioned and showed in the video), those should never exist at all. Thanks for this video man.

Imo the BeamNG community is one of the better communities in gaming. Sure it has its problems, but there are a lot of seriously talented BeamNG creators out there.

I get being a bit peeved about the "crash simulator" thing... but reality is that the game is so lacking in gameplay loops that all people really play with is the crashing. I logged hundreds of hours just driving around experimenting with the damage.... mainly because I didnt care about modding vehicles at all since there was no gameplay loops or real interesting missions. Even the new career WIP mode is dull, and needs years of work to get to an enjoyable state.

these were exactly the same reasons why i took a break from beamng drive community, not the game it self but few youtubers and members from community slowly getting into again another thing that stopped me from playing beamng drive was my computer stopped working and now that i've switched computers i'm without a gpu and i'm saving up for a new one and i'm really glad i found someone who really thinks like me about this👍

Car Jump Arena will forever be a BeamNG map that I will look back on and say, "What the fuck where we thinking"

I was playing beamNG in class and this kid walks up to me (nobody likes him) and asks "is that the Mr Beast car game?" what the hell dude.

Huge respect for calling this community out!

I just love the based boosted audio when the video stretches LMAO

I agree with the Private Mods bit, I have several Private Mods myself mostly for RU-vid content but sometimes used for Screenshots. I don't say shit like "look at me, i got private mods", i literally say nothing but i notice some younger people who have "private mods", their immediate reaction to anyone asking where they got them is hostile, immature and rude. What you should say is: "It's private, sorry." and if they ask who made it, you say "They'd rather remain anonymous". For anyone wondering why Private Mods are private, here's one reason, they're not up to standards. They're low quality, unedited jbeam'd most of the time and due to how toxic the BeamNG Community is, they don't release them Publicly because they get hated for their low quality. The RU-vid Shorts are THE WORST part of the BeamNG Community, they're cringey, unfunny, sexist, offensive and goofy as fuck. The sound effects and music choices make them so much worse. Sure, kids under 10 would love them but for us older folks it's cringe as fuck. Gavril Scout is a GOOD ASS mod for being Paid, i'd pay over £10 for it simply because I'm British and I require British cars.

imagine someone pay for mod lol

Also mods that look perfect in the pictures but have no textures when you load in game, and it's so annoying

All that beamng shorts does is ruins the game’s image💀

why does this guy have to stretch every image and make it so loud that my ear wax jumps from my ears down into my crusty earphones

1:48 bro I'm watching this at 1 am, AND THAT SHIT ACTUALLY MADE MY EYES HURT FOR A SECOND, fuckin flashbanged me...

I totally agree with you. When I'm watching TikTok or just scrolling through RU-vid, I sometimes manage to encounter very unfunny videos from people like BeamngPlanet. It is kinda sad what people do just to get famous and rich by doing unfunny videos for little kids.

for those wondering the song in the background is "Kletka" by Molchat Doma.

For those who don't know, the background music in the first half of the video is "Kletka" by Molchat Doma.

Me and my freinds will spend hours creating custom configs for street racing or rally racing but the highlight is always when the lead car spins out and we all die in a massive pileup

I agree with everything except the crash physics yes there are many many many other things that make BeamNg stand out from just the crashes but in my opinion the crash physics are the best thing about the game next to all the other amazing things about it

One complaint I have is the "elitism" I have experienced. For example, in a past update they changed things so driving with a controller with no gearbox assist is terrible. I posted on steam discussions forums about hoe I dislike the change and 80% of the comments were either "it's built for simulation" and "well get a wheel, it's not meant to be played with controller" or even "it's changed in order to be realistic, in real life you don't use a controller". These types of views are so stupid, the entire argument was that because I am on controller it's my fault because the game isn't supposed to be played like that apparently. So dumb

I play beam primarily as a drift game as its the closest to real feel I have tried. It feels pretty similar to Assetto but the added damage really takes the cake. Who doesn't love a good busted taillight and hanging bumper from a wall tap

Every time a paid irl car mod releases people should contact the manufacturer to get them to send cease and desists lol

i started 2 years ago because of muye playing it, first thought it was a car crashing game, now i know its an alpha sim game. it feels like shorts youtubers are ruining it now

I agree with everything except for the modland one cuz sometimes(not always) you can find some good mods and there is no viruses

i swear people who put cars on modland or on any other beamng mod link sites wanna give someone a virus because on beamng fourms and on thier offical game if you download something it was already scanned for a virus

My fav thing to do in beam is just to speed around moded maps and run from cops. The longer I’m not crashing the more fun it can be. Even tho it’s a car crash game.

All i do is drive normally (and sometimes speed) in beamng and crash and its pretty calming experience

i don't think you should knock people for seeing beamng as a crashing sim. the soft body physics have been it's USP since it's initial release, that is what people are going to see at first glance, and it is a valid way to enjoy the game.

As someone who has a patreon for beamng mods such as custom made maps and commissioned maps and cars. We do not claim those who steal models

I have this game because I thought it was cool about the crash physics and realistic driving. But then I joined multiplayer and now I can't drive without crashing (keyboard driving problems)

3 months late, but where should I download mods? Kinda new to modding

only thing i dont agree with is the last point, viruses are so avoidable nowadays + if u dont download a exe ur going to be fine 99% of the time, i do infact dont support there being many leaked mods on those sites but theres some people actually releasing their mods there.

underrated video and channel, just speaking facts. Keep up the amazing content, I subbed. :))

Another shorts problem is theres never mod links

I know beam ng is a car driving simulator, and I use it for racing sometimes. But when it’s just people using for the physics, it’s wrong. I still crash deliberately, but I still use it for driving.

the ats or ets2 theme at the end was perfect lol

1:40 music hit with 2015 nostalgia

I like making the fastest version of vehicles in beamng and making cars go almost 200 mph even though its not meant to

totaly agree with all points. although i think paid mods are alright if they are good quality. it takes a lot of work and knowledge to make this stuff and its fair if people ask for some cash for it.. of course s*itty mods are s*it and you should investigate before you buy as you would with anything else you buy...

Maybe next video tone the constant RANDOM LOUD EFFECT down a bit as it can bE VERRY ANOYINg plz

Could I get the link to the Alivieska map mod, but winter?

Gatekeeping a game is wild

sometimes modland has some okay mods but they arent the best and if i find an okay mod i will make sure its not just a leak

I agree with MOST of this, however people need to stop picking on modland as it really isn't all bad. I have many virus-free and alright quality mods from modland, you can also find some good updates for older mods on there like exorians challenger and charger.

Bro I agree with you so much you literally listed every thing in my mind, plus you are a really funny creator I hope to see you with more subs soon!

For context, I've broken my toe so it was at a 90 degree angle. The nearest hospital was 40 minutes away, so I had to deal with this for an hour and weeks of pain. That sensation is very little compared to the pain I feel when I watch beamngshorts. Beamngshorts is significantly worse then if i broke all my toes

Which website do we need to use then to download mods?

sorry i had a stroke trying to understand this video but i love the beamng shorts channel, never watched beamtoofunny or whatever it's called also leaking paid car mods is a w, seethe and mald will agree though, i barely crash cars in the game i just love cruising around the maps

Car crash tests with shitty mods like a Lamborghini with crappy jbeam and no fucking ABS, damn that type of things just piss me off

seeing these parts of the community disgust me, take me back to when rigs of rods was popular and beamng got released

I used a modland lada car mod and got a virus out of it, it’s gone now but i am never going there again

God, i wish the community was less toxic and more friendlier like why can't that pathethic community be nicer for once most of the people from the forums tells people to stop using mods from modland like god this community is pathetic

Back then I used to like beamng for the crashes but now that i have the game, there is many things i could do

Considering beamngshorts's content is aimed at kids is concerning. cant imagine a 7 year old asking their father about a war. sad that youtube hid the dislike amount

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!! I'm fully with you.

0:45 man that reminds me also there some of then use a bad music free royalty also some of them use moaning from the adult version of anime

Beamng shorts goes to the 10th ring of hell

Where else should I get mods from other than ModLand? The official mod page is very awfully made and doesn't seem to have that many real car mods.

I don't even want to download mods from the official site, because I'm afraid of getting a malware. Yes I know I'm paranoid, but I'd rather enjoy the game in it's vanilla state than enjoy it with potentially malware filled mods

i played beamng a lot last month and if i open youtube shorts all i see is beamng shorts and every time i see one of those videos i dislike it yet HE KEEPS COMING BACK

You know what i hate? Unheard beam modders posting their first mod AS A PAID MOD, look idc who you are, but if you made your first mod, let the public try it out before you make a paid mod, cause whenever its a paid mod that costs half than the game, you better make it really really good and not just a shitbox

honestly agree with you, but theres 2 sides of modland the good side that actually makes good mods the shitty side that i dont even have to explain

The ETS2 Background tho Amazing. **PURE QUALITY CONTENT.**

I have played BeamNG for 7000+ hours and i have all the same complaints. you covered everything i would have.

the devil started praying when beamng shorts became popular

dont know why but the famous utuber like jota drive uses a sorento, fh, explorer which is from modland, hope he dont have any virus, also does the kofi is safe?

The shorts genuinely ruin the vibe that beamng gives. The game is beautiful as it is and they ruin it with mods and make it look bad

Tip for new players don’t get the million horsepower mods and whatever you’re gonna have a lot more fun with the realistic and lower powered cars on sport tires obviously you can get crazy mods too but just wanted to put out the psa

That may be a unpopular opinion but most of the times when i enter modland there are some good mods uploaded. For Example Fastlane make some good mods

I know burning at the stake isn't used, but we can make an exception...

I make detailed, (I think) cinematics, that I spend a lot of time planning, recording (in game with the replay hud and then with OBS), editing, re-editing, and then finally publishing to this platform, just for them to barely surpass 200 veiws. When i see the garbage that litters this community, which takes little to no effort to make, just makes me question how the hell people watch that. then they start showing off shitty low quality mods, and only the physics part of beamng during that video with the tiktok voice as voiceover just add more fuel to the fire, as well as these videos blow up like crazy, as I sit back perfecting a work of art that wont even get noticed. People should be aware that beamng is more than just car go boom; Beamng as a whole is a masterpiece in many ways you can think about. Beamng should be presented as a fun, relaxing, and adventurous open world driving sim, and not just a car hitting a wall at Mach Jesus. Beamng is just like the game Minecraft in a way, where there are infinite wonders and endless possibilities, where there is no limit on what to do in the game, and people only seeing it as one thing just a simple car crash sim, havent looked at the other side of this story. But, this is just my opinion and you are free to agree with me or not, I don't care.
