Need Help with Manifest.sii

[Thai Guy]

I need Help with a Manifest... thingy (idk how to call it), i downloaded a mod package and there were some files and the Manifest.sii thingy. i tried renaming it and put it into my mod folder, but it diddn't show up

Manifest.sii keep that name, regardless of the mod. Only its content will change.

TL;DR: if you have 30 mods, you have 30 manifest.sii, or not, it isn't required.

manifest.sii is a file containing info about the mod formatted to show up in Mod Manager. Info includes version, display name, author, preview pic, description, etc.. Presence of manifest.sii is not mandatory (except when publishing in Workshop), just helpful. To be recognized by the game, it must be named "manifest.sii", and contain correctly formatted text.

example:

SiiNunit
{
mod_package : .package_name
{
package_version: "1.0"
display_name: "name"
author: "author"
category[]: "tuning_parts"
icon: "icon.jpg"
description_file: "description.txt"
}
}

You make it with a text editor of your choice

All *.sii files are text files. Native in Windows is a text editor called Notepad. Available online is an advanced version (Notepadd++), which is what I use. https://notepad-plus-plus.org . Copy manifest.sii text from http://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Documentation/Engine/Mod_manager , paste into a new Notepad file, edit it appropriately, save it as "manifest.sii", and move the file into your mod folder.

Be aware contents of sii fles are super sensitive (it is code) and they 'talk' among each other.
