Transferring Mods

[Alcan1369]

I would like to start a new profile & want to know if I have to transfer mods to a new game one by one or can I do all or most at one time?

[Wolfgang]

I think you can just activate all of your mods when you create a profile. However, before doing this please manually check if all of your mods are compatible with the current game version. The mod manager is NOT doing this for you.

[H.G.B.]

Assuming all mods are compatible, you can activate all mods you want directly when creating a new profile.

[RynoHawk]

All of your profiles share the same mod manager. You can move them all at once using the double right arrows (>>), however you will have to arrange them in the order that works for you.

Also like Wolfgang said, this is probably a good opportunity for "Spring cleaning" and getting rid of dead mods or mods you don't really use or like. Even if they don't affect anything now, they may in a future update.

Thanks all

idk if what I'm about to explain works, it's just a theory, but maybe it works,... rename the mods in alphatical order in the load order you want them in and then use the arrow(s), there are arrow(s) for one at a time, or everything (selected) at once.

You could (also) have several folders with a specific set of mods for each profile and switch mod folder before you start the game, but I suppose that could be cause for issues when you forget to change them, or recall which is what :-)

In any case, you'd have to copy the Steam mods to your local mod folder and of course make sure there aren't any mods you don't want in any profile, or outdated, etc,...

Anyhoo, it's just a thought.

[H.G.B.]

@Underscore:
I use an easier way. I have a text file with all the mods I use in the correct order. I can simply copy its contents into the corresponding *.sii file and delete any mods that may not be needed there.

(Since editing the *.sii files is not for beginners, I will not provide any instructions here.)

[Leo Valentino]

I use Stearells SII_Decrypt (github) to decrypt the profile.sii and then just copy the active mods to the new profile. You can do this after creating a new profile and then exiting the game before you even do your first load. This preserves the load order as well.

@HGB, did you edit: mods_info.sii?

I don't see how that's easier.

You could make this easier using a program like JSGME, though setting the directories up would take a little learning. I love JSGME, I use it more than MO2 or Vortex so I'm kinda biased.

[Underscore_101_3]

@Leo, I don't need anything :-) certainly not 3rd party stuff, but what H.G.B. said looks interesting and something I never looked into, but if using files from the game can make things easier then I'm interested.
I'm aware of the file mentioned by H.G.B., but not familiar with what can be done with it.

[H.G.B.]

@Underscore:
I edit the files profile.sii and game.sii (under save/autosave).
Further information is only available via private message, as I will not explain this here due to the risk that the profile will no longer be usable.
