    you have an older skinpak that is looking for the previous versions of those cars. rF2 deletes old versions when it pushes the new versions out. Delete the skinpak, and then look for a newer version that runs with the latest versions of the cars. The problem is not the paid cars you have, but the freebies.

    Yep,but it wasn't older.
    It seems to be
    Global Endurance Cup 2019-20



      • Aston Martin Vantage GTE
      • BMW M8 GTE
      • Corvette C7.R
      • Ferrari 488 GTE
      • Oreca 07 LMP2
      • Porsche 911 RSR
    It throws no errors for
    Endurance Series rF2 build 3.00
    but throws an error with
    Global Endurance Cup 2019-20
    I'm confused...try tomorrow again.

    Global Endurance Cup uses S397 cars that's why your getting unknown base mod error. The Endurance Series rF2 build 3.00 is a stand alone mod so is not affected. Any kind of skin pack can throw up this error if it's not using the latest version of the car. Skin packs can be a pain in the ass because of this, I personally only install individual skins and never install skin packs. Any updates to cars will install correctly if you only use individual skins but sometimes the skins will not show for the car, it's just the rcd file needs to be edited to make them work again. Hope this was of help.

    The GTE is a newer mod, but the cars it wants to use are out of date. S397 has updated those cars to new version numbers, thus the GTE mod cannot find the 'old' cars it wants to put skins upon. Note the version number of those cars causing errors, and then go back to where you got the GTE mod and see if they have new files to match the S397 updated car version numbers.

    I'm starting to understand what I'm doing wrong..
    I have the s397 store bought cars DLC.
    and that fixed it.
