# Why do I need to deactivate my mods?
In BeamMP, the Server you decide to connect to, provides the mods.
They get downloaded and activated automatically upon connecting.

Having local mods installed and active often leads to BeamMP not functioning properly, even if you have just one additional mod besides BeamMP.

Remove any mods you have placed in the BeamNG.Drive\content\vehicles folder. That location is not for the use of mods and can lead to issues as stated in the Text file by BeamNG, which is located in the same location and reads as follows:

## How do I deactivate/remove my mods?
There are 3 options to do this.
1. Deactivate all mods besides 'multiplayerbeammp' .
2. If for some reason you cant deactivate all mods trough the ingame Repo, open your mods folder in the file explorer and delete all mods permanently. Alternatively you can try option 3.
3. Open the BeamNG.Drive userfolder and rename the folder of the latest version (e.g. 0.34) to for example 0.xx_OLD (0.34_OLD).
Make sure BeamNG.Drive is closed during Option 2 and 3!
After you are done, start BeamNG.Drive via the BeamMP-Launcher and you should have 'multiplayerbeammp' as your only enabled mod available in the repository as well as the button on the Main Menu to enter BeamMP.
There are 3 options to resolve possible issues when using BeamMP.
## My settings and configs are gone!
### 1. Deactivate mods
Before joining any Server, make sure you have no mods besides 'multiplayerbeammp' enabled.
If the game freezes or you still have issues, refer to the next option
### 2. Creating a new Userfolder
Open the BeamNG.Drive userfolder and rename the folder of the latest version (e.g. 0.34) to for example 0.xx_OLD (0.34_OLD). Close BeamNG.drive before renaming it.

### 3. Removing mods from the vehicles folder.
To access the content\vehicles folder and clean the folder of any mods, open the installation location of BeamNG.drive.
Click into the content folder. There, you delete the "vehicles" folder and proceed to verify the game files via Steam or Epic Games. This is going to download the vanilla vehicles again.
After you are done, start BeamNG.Drive via the BeamMP-Launcher and you should have 'multiplayerbeammp' as your only enabled mod available in the repository as well as the button on the Main Menu to enter BeamMP.
If you still have issues joining modded server, they likely provide broken/outdated mods.
!!! question "My settings and configs are gone! How can I restore them?"
If you renamed the userfolder, you forced the game to create a new, clean userfolder. You may copy the 'settings' and 'vehicles' folder from the folder you renamed (e.g. 0.34_OLD) to the new folder it created.
Make sure BeamNG.Drive is closed and replace all elements in the location you want to copy the folders to. You should now have all configs and settings as they were before.
