How to install mods?

Hi, im really new with modding in f1 games can someone pls explain how do i mod this game.
Thank you for the patience.

Its complicated for me to explain, so i try my best. Once you get the hang of it, its pretty easy.

First go to racedepartment. Thats the website for most mods of all kinds of racing games.
Some mods are simple drag and replace, but then you need to look for huge changes, like the 1.05 patch for f1 2019. Because if you get an older mod, then you don't get the performance update from the patch itself.


So next you need a piece of software, the Ego Erp Archiver.

That program, lets you install and change every bit inside f1 2019.

Here is a little tutorial for custom Helmets, which explains a bit of the program itself. Krisdix made it, and it helped me quite a bit.

So but before all that, you need to make a copy of your gamefolder in the case something goes wrong, so you can swap the files and repair that quite quickly.

here is a tutorial for making a livery itself and how to install it

There are many mods out at this point and i could recommend some mods, but your taste might be different.

https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mclaren-vodafone-livery.27697/
(that one needs to be installed with the erp archiver - because that livery was made before the performance patch)


that are some of the mods i'm using - and of course you need some practice with the tool and you need to be on PC but that should be obvious.

@Heathcliff, first of all: congrats and thanks for you post. I knew how to do it, but I have never seen such a good explanation. That is why I strongly suggest you post it as a Guide to help others. Good job.
