Can you give link for one of them for checking. Now we can't reproduce your problem, all mods what we tried to install are work correctly.

I watched videos on how to install mods and my code matches it, so I am quite confused. http://citycardriving.com/forum?view=topic&catid=23&id=106297 this is the link to the Skoda. Would you like me to show you my player_cars code?

I've checked this mod. It works correctly, displays into menu and I can drive into city on this car.

Did you unpack it correctly? And how did you paste data into player_cars?

I unpacked it with winrar. This is my player_cars code

How to add a new car.


I. Adding a new car to menu

Each new car should be added as new <Car></Car> section. This section should be ADDED INSIDE <Cars></Cars> tag,
just like the commentary which you are currently reading. An example of such a section is situated below in paragraph III.

Following is a list of parameters, which should be specified for a new car section:

'Name' attribute - this attribute is your car identificator. All gfx and settings for cars are situated in folders
named as their respective car ID's. For example, a 'Car28' car have all its data placed in following folders:

data\gui\Common\layouts\cars\Car28\
data\gui\Common\layouts\transmissions\cars\Car28\
data\gui\ccd\layouts\cars\Car28\
data\gui\ccd\imagesets\cars\Car28\
data\gamedata\cars\Car28\
data\gamedata\particles\cars\Car28\
data\physics\cars\Car28\
data\physics\Engine\Car28\
data\physics\Transmission\Car28\
export\anims\cars\Car28\
export\gfxlib\cars\Car28\
export\meshes\cars\Car28\
export\texturesdds\cars\Car28\

All car identifiers SHOULD BE UNIQUE. Try to create an unique and distinctive IDs so you wouldn't collide
with other user cars and future developer cars.

'ABS' attribute - this attribute defines if this car could be driven with an antilock brake system.
Values: 'true' - ABS is enabled, 'false' - ABS is disabled.

'AT' attribute - this attribute defines if this car could be driven with an automatic gearbox.
Values: 'true' - automatic gearbox is enabled, 'false' - automatic gearbox is disabled.

'MT' attribute - this attribute defines if this car could be driven with a manual transmission.
Values: 'true' - manual transmission is enabled, 'false' - manual transmission is disabled.

'DisplayName' element - this element contains a name for the car, which is displayed in the menu.

'Description' element - this element contains a description for the car, such as technical specifications,
car creator or whatever else.

All listed parameters ARE MANDATORY.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: This file should be saved with UTF-8 encoding.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE 2: Since version 1.5.3, folder gui\home was renamed to gui\ccd
AN IMPORTANT NOTE 3: City Car Driving developer owns the right to change basic cars from version to version.
We don't recommend you to refer to files of basic cars.
If you want to use them, it's better to copy files you need to the mod folder and use paths only to your folder.


II. Defining an image for a new car.

Each new car have a default image in the menu. In order to define an own image for a new car,
one should add all necessary image files to the following path:

data\gui\ccd\imagesets\cars\<Car ID>\

An examples of such files could be found at

data\gui\ccd\imagesets\cars\Car01\


III. Example of new car description.

<Car Name="Shelly5000" ABS="false" AT="false" >
<DisplayName>Shelly Warsteed GT 5000</DisplayName>
<Description>
Shelly Warsteed GT 5000

Rear wheel drive
Manual transmission, 6 gears

Have your helmet on so it could be easier to pick up your head.

Looks like your player_cars code pasted correctly.
When you install mod, do you copy each folder manually, or just copy data and export into simulator installation folder?
