📋 About This Mod

Setup:

1. Pick the game you want to manage from the dropdown

2.A file picker will pop up once you click OK on the popup.

a) For ME1 games: Dig down to the folder that has the game, make sure that folder is highlit, and click OK.

b) For ME2 games: If this is your first choice, it will make you do 2a because the app needs to know where your Steam library is. Once you've done that, find your ME2 folder, highlight it, and click OK.

KNOWN ISSUES:

When you swap a mod by clicking on one of the checkboxes, it works fine, but previously checked mods will still visibly show up until you mouse over them. This is not a problem because I tested it, and previously clicked mods will be inactive no matter what.

If you try launching an old version of MapStudio, the layout will mess up for some reason, so use the newest version because this issue doesn't exist in the newer versions.

Let me know if you're having an awkward experience with anything, and I will help you out!
