I have downloaded several mods and tracks and I have been able to add them to the game and play them but im trying to add carsets to my mods like 2020 Daytona roster to mencs2019 mod or 1979 carset to hobbystock mod or 83 and 86 carsets to aero88 . I have downloaded the car sets and using WinRAR have just simply tried extracting them to the' car' files of those 'series' mods but nothing is happening.. can somebody help?

1.Do you have the 1201 patch installed?
2. Are the cars you downloaded the same physics as the mod your putting them in?
3. Do you have a cars folder inside the cars folder...you can't do that.
4. Are you sure the cars are unzipped?

Yes i have the patch and I'm not sure about the physics. When I download them and the car set file is in my downloads I right click it and i don't have the option to unzip them, since im using Winrar it only asks where i want to extract them to and when i try to extract them to the cars file in the series mod all it does is puts that whole car file inside the car file of the mod. Like i said i don't know much when it comes to computers and i have tried to look everywhere fpr a step by step to add whole car sets to a mod but i just cant find any absolutely anywhere for the entire car set..

So, go in your series folder where you put the cars with Winrar and look for files that end in .car, these are the actual car files. These files should be in the "cars folder" within the "mod folder" (for example, MENCS19 is a mod folder, within that folder is the cars folder). If the car files are just in the series folder or just the mod folder, they are in the wrong spot.

If they are .car files in the cars folder, then check to see what their physics are. Physics are the extension just before .car: they can be .cup, .gns, .cts, or .pta (there are others but it is unlikely that your carset is anything other than one of those 4). If the carset cars are different than the cars that were already in the folder, then you have the wrong physics.

For example, if a car in the carset you are trying to install is lets say 3_earnhardt.cts.car and a car that came with the mod is lets say 4_harvick.cup.car, then you are trying to put a car with cts physics into a mod that uses cup physics.

Check those two things and get back with us.

Thank you, that helped me understand it a lot better and i have finally gotten a lot of them working, only thing I'm having trouble now is finding a 2020 cup cts car set, instead of downloading and putting in individual paint schemes into the mod myself could i just great my own folder with all the individual paint schemes then move all tge contents of that folder into the mods car folder all at one time right? Sorry if what I'm saying doesn't make a lot of sense this is my first time really using a laptop/ computer since i was a young kid in the late 90s lol

Yeah the physics swapper can fix that sort of problems. As for TGAs you can only either import them in the game or use WinMip2 to import them, but either way you have to do it one car at a time.
