View attachment 713786- On the bottom left of UE, open the Content Drawer
- You will need to create the exactly same folders as when you extracted from UModel (the Image 12 has the example with Aston Martin
- After created the folders, just drag the correct TGA Textures to their respective folders

- You can just ignore "StartContent" Folder, i personally change this on UE: Edit > Project Settings > Packaging > Advanced > Directories to never cook = and add "StarterContent"
- Now that we set the folders we click on Platforms > Windows > Cook Content

- Wait till finish, then find your Epic Games folder, enter the Projects > MyProject > Saved > Cooked > Windows > MyProject > Content = and then we will find the folders you created, with uasset files of the textures, copy the folders (like Cars, Headquarters, UITextures etc)

6. Creating new .pak and finishing our mods

- Open UnrealPak, i already put your mod folder (the folder name will be the exactly .pak file name), i always name my mods like "pakchunk0-MODNAME_2_P", i dont know exactly why, but if i do not name with "_2_P" the mod wont work
- Inside the mod folder, we will have the path: f1manager23 > Content = and then folders like Cars, Headquarters, UITextures, its here where you will copy the Unreal Engine project folders

6.1. Remember the Volta.locres file that we changed team names or things like that? Now, you will use the file

- Copy the "Localization" folder we exported with FModel
- Put the "Localization" folder inside the "Content" folder on UnrealPak (Image 14 show the paths)

You CAN mod more than one thing at the same time, you dont need to mod just one team, or just one folder (like just Cars, or just Localization) - i personally prefer to not do the things together just to keep the things organized

- After you finished setting up the folders, now you will drag "pakchunk0-NAMEYOURMOD_2_P" to UnrealPak-Without-Compression (i only used this, dont know if it will work with the Compressed version)
- Then a cmd windows will appear and a new .pak file will be created, thats your finished mod

7. Install your mod

- Well, this part i think everyone will know, just copy the .pak file to "Paks" folder inside the Steam F1 Manager 23 folder, and your mod is done
- Just make sure to not install two mods with the same changes, like same team livery or logo to avoid errors (i did this and take a LONG TIME to understand what i was doing wrong)

How do you have no "Engine" folder in your UE5 project? Does it matter if I have one?
