Not sure where the breakdown is, so...
1) go to https://github.com/Courseplay/courseplay
2) click on "clone or download" button on top/right of topic lists
3) download courseplay
4) go to where you downloaded it and unzip the file
5) go into the cp folder (which only has another CP folder in it) and open that folder
6) highlight all the files and creat a zip file called Courseplay
7) copy that courseplay.zip file into your mods folder
...should be golden at that point. I just did this again today to update my CP files

actually it has to be renamed to ZZZ_courseplay.zip

ok, none of that worked, again. all i did was istall it like any other mode, deleted the zzz_ part so the folder is just called courseplay, and finally it worked. i guess its different for everyone

Yeah, the folder doesn't have to have the zzz in it. When the beta was first released I had problems with the zzz so went with the straight courseplay.zip and it's worked fine for every update since then.

You've confused me on this last one. What do you mean by unzipped? The mods stay zipped in the mod folder to be used.

no mod will work for me if zipped, except maps. if i zip them, they dont work. so basically i move the zip file into the mods folder, unzip it there, then delete or move the zip out of the mods folder. even 15 was this way

Then you're doing something wrong. I've got over 300 zipped mods in FS15 and over 150 zipped mods in FS17. Unzipping them only means you can't play in MP, if all your mods are zipped then you can play in MP. Are you putting them in Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2017/mods?

yes, lol, im not a total noob. if i wasnt none would work at all. its obviously not a problem for me, as they all work, and idc about mp play, so theres no loss for me there. all i know is if courseplay folder iss zipped as per the installation instructions, it wont show up in the mod checklist. unzipped, it does.

also, i have every mod i ever dl in a seperate folder outside the game folder. if i ever did do MP, then all id have to do is move them all back into the mod folder
