Mod Mixer

Mods can sometimes interfere with each other without any obvious signs. The Mod Mixer helps identify these conflicts and provides a user-friendly interface to manage them.

Changelog 1.4.0.0:

• The Switchboard — a six-tab control panel for managing conflicts, live settings, vehicle diagnostics, performance profiling, review hub, and profiles.
• Performance profiler with live per-mod frame cost and parking options.
• Review hub for vehicle diagnostics and a boot-recovery safety net.

When two mods alter the same game function, the last one loaded usually prevails, causing the other mod's changes to disappear without any errors or crashes. Mod Mixer identifies these conflicts, explains them clearly, and offers a control panel to resolve them.

The Switchboard

A comprehensive control panel within the in-game menu (look for the Mod Mixer icon), featuring six tabs:

• CONFLICTS — Displays all mod conflicts in one place. Choose a winner or activate a shared chain to set the run-order, all restart-gated.
• LIVE — Instantly applies settings exposed by your mods (toggles and sliders) during gameplay.
• VEHICLE — Provides live diagnostics of the vehicle you're using, including damage, wear, temperature, speed, mass, and per-wheel grip.
• PERFORMANCE — Shows live per-mod cost (ms per frame) against your fps budget to identify mods affecting frame rate.
• REVIEW — Highlights likely duplicate mods, known incompatible pairs, and HUD overlaps with evidence.
• PROFILES — Save and load your entire Mod Mixer setup, including conflict resolutions, reorders, toggles, and hibernation.

Each row offers a plain-English explanation. The classic boot conflict report (ModMixer.log) is still available, along with on-screen warnings for incompatible mods.

Built Safe

• Structural changes apply on restart, ensuring nothing is altered mid-game.
• Load-critical functions remain locked and cannot be vetoed.
• If a launch fails, the next one starts in safe mode automatically, ensuring your game loads successfully.
• Manual kill switch: create an empty file MODMIXER_SAFE_MODE.txt in modSettings/FS25_ModMixer/.
• Mod Mixer stores its settings and profiles under modSettings/FS25_ModMixer/ without affecting other files or making network connections.
• Abnormal-load protection prevents save overwrites in case of a conflict brick, with self-recovery on the next launch.

IMPORTANT: Keep the zip named FS25_0_ModMixer.zip to ensure it loads before other mods, allowing it to monitor all hooks they install. Designed primarily for singleplayer, with multiplayer support for loading and reporting per client.
