Custom Workshop Installer

*Since the game update of 2022-11-16 all the described issues of the stock Workshop Installer are fixed (NOT quite, see Issues & Solutions guide) and it is fully compatible to the Custom Workshop Installer.

This avoids the short and long* term issues of using the stock installer, it's fast, detects mod conflicts, lets you install and remove multiple mods at once and more!

*** Please read the whole description! ***

It is meant to be used instead of the stock installer. If you were using the stock installer before *2022-11-16 update, I recommend to do the clean reinstall of the game first, just to be sure, because there are *were many ways it could have messed up the game files.
Recommended way to do clean reinstall:

- doesn't add playtime (because it doesn't use steamapi)
- fast start with many subscribed items (because it doesn't look up stuff online)
- search (right click->Find...)
- installing and removing multiple mods at once
- ability to save a list of currently installed mods for easy reinstalling
- mod update notification (requires the mod author to add a <workshop_id>.txt file, see Suggestion to modders)
- self-updating (requires user action) - copies itself from the workshop folder, means you need to be subscribed
- class remover (see full description)
- avoid backup files appearing in load car dialogs
= mod conflict detection*
= supports renamed game folder*
= avoid playback stopping for music replacing mods*

*= The stock Workshop Installer now does the same.

Item names list
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2195504145

1. Subscribe to this and to Item names list (link above).
2. Wait for Steam to download it.
3. Install with the stock installer
or
open *your_steam_library_folder*\steamapps\workshop\content\497180\1445498636
and copy all 3 files to the game folder.

4. Launch the tool from the game folder.
(You may rename it like the default one to launch it from the steam library, though this will cause the playtime counting.)

For Win7: if it does not start, install Windows Management Framework OR get the _20 version:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1806319734


The tool will present you a list of your subscribed and installed items like this

Legend:
s - subscribed (according to the contents of your_steam_library_folder\steamapps\workshop\content\497180)
i - installed (according to the contents of the 'workshop_uninstall' directory)
[x] - choice number, the number you will be asked to type in (these numbers change when you subscribe/unsubscribe)
WorkshopId - Steam workshop item id
Name - name of the item according to the contents of the file '_CustomWorkshopInstaller_ItemNames'

Choose the item by typing the choice number and hitting enter (gently). If the item is not installed it will be installed, otherwise it will be removed.

To select multiple items type the numbers like that "1,2,3". Same logic as above applies.
To install all items type "install all".
To remove all items type "remove all".
