If he'd done it right it would work
@hodge like can you post two screenshots please of our gamedata/locations folder and one of the folder below with one of the mods in it.
Pretty sure you have placed it one level too deep.
For future downloads:
- Download the files to your desktop
- Unzip them there
- Open the folder and look for a folder with the name of the track. For example Spa-Francorchamps
- Copy the entire Spa-Francorchamps folder. (right click on it -> copy)
- Go to the location of your game. This might look something like this where x stands for the drive you are running your games from: X:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista\GameData\Locations
- Go into the locations folder. Don't hover over an existing map and right click "paste" somewhere in the white area to paste your Spa folder
- Boot the game and play.
Most people unzip the file and then place the entire folder in their games which means yours will looks like this probably which is wrong: Spa_AMS_V1.01\Spa Francorchamps
You only need the second part to be placed in the locations folder.
