FS15-ModmanagerPro

This is not the first tool for managing Farming Simulator Mods. And probably

not the last. But maybe this tool is a little bit smarter than others.

 

What is it good for?

FS15-ModmanagerPro lets you organize your mod files in profiles. In each

profile you can activate/deactivate each single mod. There are other tools 

which do the same. We just do it in a smarter way.

 

Why should you use FS15-ModmanagerPro?

Your mod files are being saved just once on your harddrive - independently of 

the number of profiles. Other mod management tools copy each mod into a 

directory for each profile. FS15-ModmanagerPro uses a feature of modern 

filesystems like NTFS called symbolic links. Each (mod)file is strored only 

once on your harddisk and is linked to your profile directories. Thus, a lot of 

disk space can be saved. And you gain full control over your mods and versions 

of mods files for all your profiles.

  * There is no limit in the number of profiles and mods.

  * You only have to take care of one single mod archive.

  * FS15-ModmanagerPro is ultra fast. Creating hundrets of symbolic links lasts only a few milliseconds!

  * If you downloaded an update for a mod: Just replace the file in your mod repository. That´s it.

  * Clear overview over your mods and profiles.

  * Mod settings in the form of XML files are symlinked to your profiles. Just create them once!

  * Detailed information about any mod including images.

  * FS15-ModmanagerPro is OpenSource Software, you can freely distribute or change it.

  * FS15-ModmanagerPro is designed multilingual (English, Spanish and German implemented)

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 and a NTFS formatted partition is needed.

 

Installation

This download includes a 'setup.exe' file, which can be installed the usual way.

The program leads you through the first steps in creating your own mod archive

and profiles.

 

Restriction

FS15-ModmanagerPro needs elevated rights to create the symbolic links in your 

filesystem. This is due to a restriction from Microsoft Windows.

 

Known Issues

The setup installer in some cases seems to have problems detecting if vcredis is installed yet. Canceling

vcredis installer and proceeding seems to be no problem.
