BeamNG Dummy Guide

Ultimate Universal Dummy Mod Guide

The technical manual for drivers, passengers, and physics-based props.

Sergi Garzón

The Universal Dummy Mod is the spiritual successor to the famous 'Drivers, Passengers and Loads'. It adds crash test dummies or stunt drivers to almost any car, supporting all vanilla vehicles and most mods.

1. Installation & Exceptions

Usually, you just need to open the Parts Selector (Ctrl+W) and go to the License Plate Design slot to select the Dummy Driver. However, there are exceptions:

SP Dunekicker

This car lacks the license plate slot. Find the dummy under Additional Modification.

Wentward Bus

Features a dedicated part in the selector for up to 20 passengers with optimized physics.

2. Positioning & Clipping Fixes

If the dummy is clipping through the seat (common on modded cars), use the Positioning Setup slot:

Method A: Auto Positioning

Uses the driver camera as a reference. Warning: The dummy will "explode" when first spawned.

Action Required: You MUST reset physics using the I key or Insert key. Do NOT use Ctrl+R (Reload), it will not fix it.

Method B: Manual Positioning

In the Tuning tab, look for Driver and Passengers > Manual Offset Setup. Adjust these values to move the dummy. If it shakes, move it 1–3 cm forward or back to stabilize it.

3. Collision & RHD Support

Dummies have simulated interior collision. By default, they are set for LHD (Steering on the left). If you are using a Right-Hand Drive (RHD) vehicle, you must change this in the parts selector.

Vehicle Specific Fixes (Vanilla)

VehicleRequired Setting / Change
Autobello StambeccoLHD Setup (No collision) + Tilted wheel physics
FPU WydraRemove interior collision completely
Gavril T-SeriesTilted steering wheel physics
Ibishu CovetSelect interior setup based on LHD/RHD config
Miramar/Pigeon/WigeonSelect RHD Interior Setup
Dunekicker/RockbasherLHD Setup (No collision)
Pro Tip

Use Ctrl+T to see the green collision layers over the dashboard.

Advanced Features

Animated Hands

The dummy uses the steering wheel with high angles for realistic driving visuals.

Seatbelts

Prevents falling out of the car. Use Realistic (Vanilla) or Universal (Mod cars) options.

Trunk Loads

Adds cardboard boxes to the trunk with adjustable weight in the Tuning tab.

Breakable Body

Dummies can break into pieces on high impact. Adjust breaking force in Tuning.

Driver Cam

Every passenger has a camera that follows the head's physical movement.

Male & Female Models

Switch between body models and customize parts in sub-slots.

Standalone Content

Why Hosting Matters for Dummies

Every dummy added to a car is a physics object calculated 2,000 times per second. If you host a server with 10 players, all using dummies, your home PC's CPU will struggle to keep up.

The AssettoHosting.com Solution

Offload the server console and synchronization to our Dedicated Servers. This gives your local CPU the freedom to render all dummy physics without FPS drops or lag spikes.
