when i re downloaded LFS my Skins folder is empty so i have no defaults? why is that?

The werid thing is, the cars actually have default skins but they don't show up in the skins folder.

Checked the 'skins_dds' folder?

how you open dds files?

With a plug-in for Photoshop or with Paint.NET

Alternatively, use a DDS Convertor to convert them to JPEG

Ah ok , thank you.
