Mod Status: You can select the compatibility status of a mod from this dropdown field. ID: This is a unique identifier automatically generated for each new mod record. Mod Name: You can add the name of the mod in this text field.įolder Name: The folder name for the mod is automatically generated and consists of the creator ID, acronym, mod number and mod name. Most details are added manually, while some are automatically generated based on your input: Under the Mod Tracker table I’ve added columns for various details about each mod. Here are the steps you can follow to recreate this system for yourself and start fresh! Super useful to keep track of the mods you have and update them.
Amongst other things, this table includes the source URL, creator name and mod/CC type and can be filtered for any field. With Airtable, you can create a new line – aka record – for each mod you use under the Mod Tracker tab. I’m a sucker for Airtable, so I’ve created a database to manage everything – the Sim Mod Tracker. I’m also a nerd for organizing and databases. I have over 400 mods so I need to be this meticulous. 😊Įxpanding on tips from Oshinsims and Morbidgamer, I rebuilt my mods folder from the ground up and created a new, more robust system to keep track of things. It can even be used for more than just mod updating with some imagination. Still, I’d like to introduce my own organization system which may come in handy for others. This is all very exciting and I’m looking forward to trying out all the things. They’re rolling out compatibility with their mod manager in December, which may be the last missing element to care-free use of CC and mods. With the new Curseforge platform promising to centralize CC and mods and make keeping up with updates moving forward, patch day panic may be a thing of the past. And I’m afraid I’m not alone in this dilemma either.
Considering many have multiple files and dependencies, this was quite the endeavor. My script mods used to be strewn haphazardly across a few folders which I have to sift through after each patch update. Considering hundreds of these items are mods, which often need to be individually updated, patch day can be a bit of a nightmare. I have a whopping over 25 GB strong mods folder and I know I’m not alone.
