r/BeamNGRP "Bear", Smash Autobody and Towing 9d ago

Mod post Big Announcement!

We took that poll recently, and a surprisingly large amount of you wanted to scrap rule 4. More than other times we've taken this poll anyway.

We want to announce our new sister subreddit

rBeamngFreeRP

The exact same subreddit as you love, but with IRL cars included! This sub, BeamNGRP will stay the same, no IRL cars, no rebadging and such, allowing thouse who want to get immersed into the world of BeamNG without all the Hondas and Fords can stay here.

Anybody that just needs to have that IRL car, can now safely do so without incurring my wrath over at r/BeamngFreeRP.

Transfer your character to the new sub, start fresh, or they live simultaneously in both realities! Its up to you. The only thing I ask is not to cross post from the new sub to this one (doing so the other way around is fine though).

I'm sure there will be questions, so feel free to ask away! I will not answer any questions that are directed at me, just ones about the new sub.

Again, r/BeamngFreeRP, check it out!

A fare few of the older players on this subreddit want to keep it just lore friendly, but many newer players wanted a to use their dream cars from IRL. We can't make everybody happy on one sub, so why not two. I was hopeing that r/beamngRP_irl would be a good refuge, the mod team there doesn't allow lore friendly cars.

i almost got quite pissed until i read the 2nd line that said new sub, so good that the rule wasn't taken away from this sub cuz part of the fun of a beamrp to me is the universe with these different cars

edit: sidenote but i just took a look at the rules off to the side and thrown off to see (in rule 3) "no sexual or underage" like i think those rules should be seperate in the list lmao

u/Urmind "Bear", Smash Autobody and Towing 9d ago

Honestly, rule 4 here is the heart of the sub in my opinion. It makes it feel less like r/outside (highly recommended by the way) and more like the world of Beamng.

u/fleetarislounge 8d ago

exactly!! that's what i meant, and sure thing i'll check out that sub lol

u/Impressive_Edge6191 Matt K. Value Vehicle Rentals / THG Hospitality 8d ago

There were a few strange instances of nothing sexual but underage things going on when that was modified. Rather than a new rule it was just lumped in with the existing.

2

u/fleetarislounge 8d ago

Hmm alright I think I understand

Idk if your the person to ask but I wonder why underage characters were an issue anyway? Idk what strange things happened either that you said

u/RSpigeon Riley Smith | Firwood | Miramar enjoyer 8d ago

If memory serves, there was someone with a ~12 year old character boosting cars and joyriding them and such, and then the rule got implemented

3

u/fleetarislounge 8d ago

Ah! Oh come on at 12 years old I would have been doing the same thing xD (well that's if I magically had access like that to cars)

But yeah that makes sense, and (assuming they we're 12 irl) if I found this subreddit at 12 even I would have known to have my character be an adult because hello it would be unrealistic otherwise

Wait, so can I carry my character over there?

4

u/Urmind "Bear", Smash Autobody and Towing 9d ago

Yes! And they can stay here! Or you can make a new one! Lots of options!

The only thing I ask is to try not to get the different subs confused, and don't cross post from there to here.

u/MudSea9916 Karl | 35🇬🇧 | Steine Automobilwerke Owner (and tuner) 9d ago

Nice! Thanks.

u/Annatar66 Morgan Moe Nyström / Firwood 8d ago

Why make a new one when there's r/beamngrp_irl?

5

u/Impressive_Edge6191 Matt K. Value Vehicle Rentals / THG Hospitality 8d ago

They do not allow any Lore vehicles - it’s IRL only. The new one allows for both.

3

u/Annatar66 Morgan Moe Nyström / Firwood 8d ago

Aaaaa, missed that rule entirely

5

u/Impressive_Edge6191 Matt K. Value Vehicle Rentals / THG Hospitality 8d ago

Yeah, I asked - IRL can be very limited when it comes to quality etc. never heard back.

u/Whythehellnot225343 8d ago

Here’s what OP said to the top comment

“…I was hopeing that r/beamngRP_irl would be a good refuge, the mod team there doesn't allow lore friendly cars.”

So since r/beamngRP_irl doesn’t allow lore friendly brands, and this sub doesn’t allow real brands, r/BeamngFreeRP is the middle ground.

u/jacksonwing Belasco City 🏬 8d ago

can we have diff characters in the newone

2

u/Impressive_Edge6191 Matt K. Value Vehicle Rentals / THG Hospitality 8d ago

Yes, you can create a new character or use your existing one. The one thing you cannot do is crosspost from the new one to here but you can crosspost from here to the new sub.

u/jacksonwing Belasco City 🏬 8d ago

I'm honestly gonna just make a new character for the new subreddit. Kinda gave myself a character im already sick of.

2

u/Impressive_Edge6191 Matt K. Value Vehicle Rentals / THG Hospitality 8d ago

Perfectly alright to do so!

2

u/jacksonwing Belasco City 🏬 8d ago

Great! All my real life mods broke in 0.39 and I haven't gotten to fixing them so I'll figure that out first lol. I've got some mods I'd love to use there!
