ISMC project Arbusto incompatible

[Dweller Beyond the Threshold]

I was using ISMC before but want to switch to ISMC 2 PA, however, mod.io in subscribed mods keeps saying that it is incompatible with the current version of IS (it is though) and prevents its deployment, even after I removed ISMC and all other mods, as well as reinstalling the game.

Anyone know how to make mod.io enable the mod?

Did you check if the mod was fully installed (compare filesize)?

It shows under "subscribed" in the game's mod.io menu but it is not even in the mod.io folder because it won't let me download it due to the "incompatible" issue. I have tried to manually download it from mod.io and putting it inside the folder but i don't know the modfile ID so it doesn't seem to work this way.

I am having the same issue with a few mods .
Someone must know how to manually install the downloadable files.

Ideas?

You can download mods manually.
What is missing (because the guys at modio are a bit weird) is: The JSON file you need to initialize the mod internally. You can either ask someone who already HAS the file and copy it into your folder or you need to fill it in manually.

ISMC Project Arbusto can be found here.[mod.io]

Mod ID

747539

Subfolder is

5386512

JSONs in game are called "State.json", is placed in the root folder of the mod

%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Steam\SteamApps\common\sandstorm\Insurgency\Mods\modio\747539

1) Create modfolder 747539 in "Mods\modio\"
2) Copy/create "State.json" inside this folder
3) Create subfolder 5386512 in "Mods\modio\747539"
4) Copy downloaded .zip file here, unpack
--> NewFactionBotspakchunk0-WindowsClient.pak (8.78 GB)
--> NewFactionBotspakchunk0optional-WindowsClient.pak (226 MB)

Now it should work.
Everytime the mod updates, you need to check the subfolder (guess it's the version) and update the json file.
