FS25 BUG ModManager V2.0.0.1

This is NOT a MOD! It’s a program for managing your mods before starting the game. Keep the program in a different location than your mod folder. Please read the “Readme.txt” document in the file.
Technically, it works like this:
All mods contain a file called modDecs.xml. The game first reads this file and then, using the relevant instructions within the file, accesses other files it needs to read. The program works on a similar principle. First, it finds the modDecs.xml file within the mod’s ZIP file. Then, it retrieves what it needs from this file and performs its functions. If the program displays an ERROR window upon startup, it means that the modDecs.xml file is either missing or contains an unreadable error in the relevant MOD file. It can work in all FS games with this structure. I developed and tested it for FS25.
V2.0.0.1
Initially, searching for the default mod folder location and related processes were added.

Thank you for providing detailed information about the BUG ModManager V2.0.0.1. It's great to have a tool like this to help manage mods effectively before starting the game, especially with the complexity that can come with modding in farming simulator games.

As you explained, the program seems to act as an intermediary by reading the modDecs.xml file within each mod's ZIP file and then performing its functions based on the instructions in that file. This approach can help streamline the process of managing mods and ensure that potential errors are caught early on.

The addition of features like searching for the default mod folder location and related processes in V2.0.0.1 can further enhance the user experience by simplifying setup and configuration.

It's commendable that you developed and tested this tool specifically for FS25, ensuring that it aligns well with the game's modding structure. Players will likely appreciate having a dedicated mod manager tailored for their farming simulation experience.

For users interested in using the BUG ModManager V2.0.0.1, following the guidance in the "Readme.txt" document and keeping the program separate from the mod folder as recommended can help ensure a smooth and efficient mod management process.
