Despite launching ten years ago, Assetto Corsa remains one of the most popular sim racing titles. With its daily player count at over 13,000 players, it regularly beats other popular titles such as Assetto Corsa Competizione and the F1 games.

A lot of Assetto Corsa’s success is thanks to the incredible modding community that has taken the game under its wing. New mods pop up weekly, and old mods are regularly updated and supported. These mods can absolutely transform Assetto Corsa with new cars, tracks, weather systems, and completely new features.

Arguably, the easiest way to install any mod for Assetto Corsa is using an app called Content Manager. In this guide, I’ll explain Content Manager, how to install it, and how to use it to install mods.

What is Content Manager for Assetto Corsa?

Content Manager is essentially an alternative launcher for Assetto Corsa on PC. It is free software, although a premium version does exist. As the name implies, the software manages all of the content you have installed for Assetto Corsa.

Assetto Corsa Content Manager Mod

You can access all game features from within the Content Manager UI. You can configure races and championships, which is a helpful way to avoid using the dated Assetto Corsa menus.

Below is a list of the best features available inside Content Manager;

  • Drag and drop mod installations
  • Manage all installed mods
  • Launch races directly without opening Assetto Corsa
  • Play the career mode or championships and manage all results from Content Manager
  • Adjust all settings for the game
  • Access extended settings giving much more customisation than the base UI
  • View lap times and race results
  • Manage and view screenshots and replay files
  • Manage custom liveries and view cars in a custom showroom

How do I get the full version of Content Manager?

The Lite version of Content Manager will be more than enough for most sim racers as it gives access to almost all of the features including mod installations and a lot of customisation.

You can support the developer by paying for the premium version of Content Manager. All you have to do is pay at least $2 (or any higher amount) via Assettocorsa.club. Buying the full version of Content Manager allows for pre-release builds and access to new features.
