Recommended mods
Draft · under reviewThese are the app mods (tools that live in apps/) the community uses most — not cars or tracks. They’re all stable, good-looking and quick to get going. For how to install them, see the previous level, Installing mods.
Most of these require CSP, and some need a fairly recent version. If one doesn’t show up, check your CSP first.
