• Packing Order: 01.

• Priority Group: [2]

• Mod Name: 'My Crazy Mod'

• Mod Version: v1.1 (normalized by MM)

Packing Order:

• The packing order always follows a top-to-bottom sequence.

• Even if the list is manually rearranged or automatically sorted, the packing order remains descending.

• Each item's position is determined by the leading number in its label, for example: 01, 02, 03.

• Items are packed in order from top to bottom. - The first item in the list is packed first. However, subsequent items may override those packed earlier. - The last item is packed last and has the potential to override all preceding items.

Priority Group: Priority levels are used to categorize different types of mods for organizational and processing purposes.

• Group 2: Assigned to texture mods

• Group 1: Used for hair/head mesh mods

• Group 0: Reserved for armor/outfit mods

This hierarchy helps ensure mods are loaded and managed in the correct sequence based on their type.

Refreshing the List: Selecting Refresh Mod List will:

• Sort all items

• Deselect all currently selected mods

• Collapse any expanded dropdowns

Useful for handling locally modified mod files.

If a shared_files folder is detected, it will remain checked regardless of the refresh.

*It's recommended to place shared assets in your mod's parent folder rather than using the shared_files folder.
