FAQ
The main mod has been updated, does your mod need an update?
If the MCM menu file has changed, yes.
Main mod updated and MCM changed, when will you update your mod?
As soon as possible, if I forget, just send me a PM.
Is your mod compatible with mod X?
Probably yes, if MCM has not been changed. Most "Settings Loaders" mods just change the MCM. If you are unsure, please ask me.
Will you combine all your mods into one?
No, this will drastically increase my mod management time, make bug fixes, version update, and the comments section a mess. These mods do not take plugin slots. I will create an AIO installer in the future, so installation will be very easy.
MCM doesn't show up.
-
[]This can often be resolved by opening the command console and typing: setstage SKI_ConfigManagerInstance 1
[]You can also install Jaxonz MCM Kicker SE.
[]Or just use Menu Maid 2 - MCM manager (this manager automatically finds and adds all MCMs).
Why MCM is empty?
You need to install MCM Helper for your version of the game. Make sure you don't mix mods for SE(1. 5. 97) with the AE(1. 6.+) version.
But I already have the MCM Helper in the correct version for my game! MCM is still empty![
