Updating the mod manager: Mod profiles, Mod Nesting, Show Dependants

[Barbeque Tier]

If you use a lot of mods, especially overhauls with their own conflicting sets of mods each, it can get kind of annoying managing them all, checking dependancies, locating issues, figuring out why you have libraries installed and what mods they support, swapping between them etc. It makes both debugging and trying out different overhauls kind of annoying.

My suggestions to make mod management easier:

1.) Let us have mod profiles. Save a specific set of mods into a profile and swap to said profile from the mod manager. Would help a ton if you play a lot of seperate overhauls too. This is really the most important one, it would quickly and easily let you see what you have installed, add and remove mods to a profile, and swap to and from them while modifying them without hastle.

2.) Let us nest mods into subfolders same way we can nest save files. That way we can at least manually organize the mod list by putting all dependancies of a mod in the same folder as it.

3.) We can already see dependancies, let us also see dependants when we click on a mod. The mod portal already offers this option, would be nice if the mod manager did too.


Yes, I'm aware the save file sync option exists and that's great, but trying to use them as mod profiles is kinda clunky because everytime you want to "edit" the profile, you have to enable/disable mods, check from the long list to ensure its all correct, load, and then save, and you also don't have access to the dependancies menu, or the links to the gibhub and the mod portal.
