📋 About This Mod
This is a small utility that is helpful when modding manually, mainly by making it easier to enable newly added mods. It essentially automates the editing and managing of the file "Plugins.txt", and is controlled through a simple GUI.
How it works and how to use
The program compiles a list of plugin files from Plugins.txt and from the game's Data folder. It automatically excludes files from Plugins.txt that are no longer present in the data folder, while files that are present in the Data folder but not in Plugins.txt are added to the end of the list in a disabled state.
You can change the load order by dragging plugins with the mouse, and you can enable/disable plugins by double-clicking them (or you can click on the checkboxes if you really want to). To enable/disable all plugins, press Ctrl+A to select everything, and press Space to toggle all checkboxes. Press Ctrl+S to save any changes to Plugins.txt (the program does not save on exit, and does not ask you if you want to save).
Version 1. 7 has added support for Skyrim Special Edition. If you want to use SPM for Skyrim SE instead of FO4, go into settings and first change the location of the plugins.txt file, then change the location of the game folder (you have to do it in that order). If you want to use SPM for both SkyrimSE and FO4, just use a different copy for each game (in other words, put a new copy of SPM into a different folder and use it for Skyrim, while continuing to use the old one for FO4). Make sure that at least one of the SPM copies has write access to the folder you put it in, otherwise both copies will store their ini files in %appdata%, overwriting each other's settings.
New in v1. 8
Version 1. 8 has added the ability to search the list. This works much like the search function of a web browser: press Ctrl+F to bring up the search box, type in a search term, press Enter or F3 to cycle through the results, and then press Escape to dismiss the search box.
