Automobilista 1 (AMS1) is relatively straightforward because the game is built on a modified rFactor engine, making it highly compatible with older sim-racing content. Where to Find Mods

rFactor Compatibility

: Because AMS1 is built on a heavily modified rFactor engine, many legacy rFactor 1 cars and tracks can be converted for use with minor tinkering. Automobilista 1 Mods

  1. Backup: always back up original folders and files (especially content and .ini files) before installing mods.
  2. Readme first: follow mod-specific instructions—some require replacing files in the main game folder, others go into user folders.
  3. Use unique folder names: if installing multiple versions of a car/track, add suffixes to folder names to avoid conflicts.
  4. Permissions: install mods with the game closed and run file operations with sufficient permissions (Windows: avoid UAC conflicts).
  5. Anti-virus false positives: some mod installers or tools can be flagged — verify source trustworthiness before whitelisting.
  6. Version matching: ensure mods are compatible with your AM1 build; look for notes about game patches.
  7. Dependency check: some mods require other mods (shared sound packs, tire models). Install dependencies first.
  8. Livery compatibility: liveries typically match a specific car folder name; ensure names match exactly (case-sensitive on some systems).
  9. Config merging: when a mod updates global configs, merge changes manually if you’ve customized settings to avoid overwriting.
  10. Test incremental: install one mod at a time and test in-game to isolate issues.
