Assetto Corsa install guide

How to Add a Custom Livery in Assetto Corsa

Install your custom skin with the Ailivery Windows helper, or create the skin folder by hand, add the DDS and thumbnail, then select the skin in game.

What you'll need

Install a custom skin in Assetto Corsa

  1. 1

    Export the artwork

    Download the DDS or PNG from Ailivery after refining the livery.

  2. 2

    Create a new skin folder

    The Ailivery Windows helper can create this folder and drop the files in for you. To do it by hand, use the typical Steam install path — exact paths can vary by version and install location.

    New skin folder
    ...\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\cars\<car_model>\skins\<new_skin_name>\
  3. 3

    Place the files

    Put the DDS in the new folder. Add preview.jpg or livery.png for the in-game UI thumbnail.

  4. 4

    Select the skin

    Launch AC, pick the car, and select your skin. See the Assetto Corsa official modding forum for AC community and modding guidance.

If the skin doesn't show up

AC versus ACC

Assetto Corsa Competizione uses a different Documents\...\Customs system; this guide is only for the original AC.

Folder nesting

If the skin does not show, confirm the DDS is directly inside the new skin folder, not one folder deeper.

Missing thumbnail

If the skin works but the UI looks blank, add the preview or livery thumbnail file.
