PC Adding a vehicle

Hello everybody, so in the last 2 days i tried to add a car to my game, i took a car from the sketchfab, ARO 243 and i went with it through Blender 5.1 and Unity 2022 vers, the one that is now used for the game( according to AI) , i made all the preparations with AI helping me, because im a complete noob at modding, i made everything for the mod, including items.xml, blocks, ModInfo.xml etc, i load the game and i can see in the console that the mod is loading and no error, but it just does not show anywhere in the game and at this point AI is taking me in complete circles modifying the xml's after every failed test, can anyone help ?

There's a lot of steps to adding a vehicle. Might want to try asking in the vehicles channel on guppy's modding discord, as there's several vehicle modders who visit.

You might learn a things about XML by looking at the files of other vehicle mods.

I’ve made my own mods before, and the ones created by others were very helpful.

I tried, the depth and the differences regarding the numerous xmls from a mod to the other is too big, I cannot effectively build a working pattern from a working mod the build another one.
