Mod Organizer 2

Configuring Mod Organizer 2


Optional: Configuring MO2's Looks

This section is optional only if you want to clean up MO2's interface a bit and change the theme. This is all up to personal preference, so feel free to configure it to your own liking


Creating New Profiles in Mod Organizer 2

Mod Organizer 2's "Profiles" feature allows for easy switching between different mod configurations. In this step, we will setup a vanilla profile, a testing profile, and a main profile. The vanilla profile will stay completely untouched and act as a backup. The testing profile will be configured the same as the main profile for the guide, but will have all mods unchecked, allowing you to only activate certain mods for easy testing/troubleshooting. Profiles can be selected via the drop-down menu above the left pane


Setting up Tools in Mod Organizer 2
