BeamNG Repo Slop Filter (Patreon)

Are you tired of seeing yet another AI-generated tire thermals mod clearly made by someone who has no idea how the game even works? If you answer is yes, then this one is for you.

BeamNG Repo Slop Filter is a simple extension that adds more tags to the official BeamNG.drive mod repository. You install a simple userscript, and you can see which mods were marked as AI slop, developed with AI, or MapNG exports.

Moderation is fully manual. I've gathered a small moderation team with members of the BeamNG community, and together we assess latest mods and mark them according to general rules and our subjective judgement.

The labels

Currently the extension has six labels:

• AI Slop – mods you probably want to avoid. Low effort, low quality, sometimes not even working properly. Everything that was built based on a few basic prompts.

• Developed with AI – a broad category including mods which were developed with the help of some AI tools. Treat it an FYI, this badge does not mean a mod is bad or good. Quite often it's the opposite.

• ??? – Special category for special mods that make you go ???

• MapNG Slop – MapNG lets you export any part of the world as a base for BeamNG maps. Some people treat this as the final product. Needless to say, it isn't.

• Featured – mods that deserve an extra star, whether it is for quality, effort, or the coolness factor. If you see a featured flag, you may want to check it out.

• Essential – self-explanatory, if you don't have this mod in your game, you need to reconsider your mod folder.

The why

In my very own opinion, current BeamNG repo moderation team is not doing good job.

AI tools like OpenAI Codex or Claude Code enable people to experiment with the game and create their own mods. I believe is ultimately a good thing, as it lowers the entry bar and at some point you will need to learn how the game works to create more complex mods.

This does not mean that you should want to see several new UI apps in the repo every day. And this extension is meant to give you the power to choose whether you want to label or hide mods developed using AI, regardless of effort and overall quality.

However, it does not mean that you should use this extension to look for mods made with AI and harass their authors. If anything, I'd suggest reaching out to BeamNG team with your concerns about low mod quality requirements in the official repository.
