New update deleted all my cars I built and mods download.

[*MajesticBeanDip*]

Almost 200 hours of building/modding the game. Its ALL gone. I have nothing left. New updated killed everything for me. Not sure if I will be coming back to the game for a while. Hope people dont make the same mistake I did. Not sure what I did wrong but literally everything is gone.

do you have a backup folder? if so then next time you make any new files for the mods or configs you saved, make sure they can be backed up after an update comes in again.

I wholeheartedly relate to you, OP, It's not the first time this game deleted all my progress after a major update, and it did make me not want to play for a while. I'd recommend making a backup folder with your keybinds, configs, and etc before each quarter-year, since that's generally when Beamng gets updated and things risk getting reset.

I hope this problem doesn't make you stop playing entirely, it's going to be okay.

I just renamed the folder from 0.33 to 0.34 to avoid the dreaded "data migration" that does more harm than good.

I swear these people come out after every update. There is a built in backup before you launch the game and it disables all your mods by default, just like every other update...

it makes a back up itself (this case it will be in ya 0.33 folder in user files)
there are 100's of threads about this

I don't think some people go looking into there even if they've been told, so they come to the Discussions to be reminded of that. Very good to know it seems.
