Best practices

This page will contain some tips when working with mods that you might find helpful.

Prioritize mods

Mods will be loaded in alphabetical order, you can use this to your advantage to load some mods first before others:

1. 00_load_first
2. Capital_letter_first
3. a_definately_not_second

Text file edit

For large changes to text files, for example, modifying engines, fuels of cars. Find & Replace will be no help but messy, you would be better off extract XML file and edit each file.

However, you may add Find & Replace task to modify small changes after editing that huge XML file.

Specific mods

Don't combine mods like engine mod, tyre mods or livery mods all together, seperate them into different mods folder. This way you can disable/enable mods you need with ease, also combine with prioritizing mods to make sure which loads first.
