QMod SAM (Legacy)

QMod SAM (Simple Activation Manager)

Area of ​​responsibility

Since there have been occasional misunderstandings in the past regarding the area of ​​responsibility of QMod SAM, a few explanatory words in advance.

How it started: SAM was originally designed as an internal tool for mod developers and mod testers to simplify the handling of mods during testing. SAM should help to be able to activate/deactivate the mods easily and also take the dependencies into account. The decision to publish SAM in general was only made during further development. SAM is basically intended as a GUI for QModManager, which by the way is not a "manager" in the true sense, but a mod loader.

What it is today: SAM has now built in many functions with which general errors at the installation level of the mods can be detected and visualized using colors and tooltips. In this way, SAM not only helps the users of QMM, but also the QMM supporters, since the players can fix "simple" problems themselves in advance, even before the game and QMM are started. An online version check of the mods completes the information on the mods.

Vortex: SAM does not compete with Vortex in any way. Vortex is a manager for many games, SAM is a manager especially for Subnautica/Below Zero. Mods cannot be installed or updated with SAM, which in turn can be done with Vortex. SAM, on the other hand, specializes in activating/deactivating mods, taking into account the dependencies and offers other functions that are QMM-specific. SAM can be used together with Vortex, for which SAM is specially designed in several points. SAM does not change any properties or files of Vortex. So there is no question of using Vortex or SAM. Both tools have their focus and together form a good team when it comes to Subnautica/Below Zero.

[*]Supports the "Dependencies" entry from QMM 2. 0 and "VersionDependencies" entry from QMM 2. 1 in mod.json.
