After a long wait, it's finally here! The in-game mod installer menu to go along with Nim's mod API. This version is an early alpha so modders can get ready for a full release by adding and testing their stuff using the Mod Author Portal, and everyone can give it a test run so we can work out all the kinks.

This new menu can be found with a button right in the home screen. You'll need to install this like a normal DLL mod, however once you have, installing any mod, part pack, or texture pack becomes a one click affair! No more messing with your mod folder or trying to figure out multi-step instructions or dependencies and having to retry when it doesn't work, this'll do it for you.

Latest Release: v0.1.0-alpha

Latest Supported Game Version: v1.5.9.8

Download the latest release: ModInstaller.dll - GitHub

Installation instructions:
  1. Download the latest DLL.
  2. Use the "Open Mods Folder" button in-game.
  3. Drag and drop the DLL into the mods folder.
  4. Restart the game.

The mod installer will restart the game automatically once you installed everything you needed. You don't need to bother with that.

Currently yes. In the future I will be looking into loading part packs and texture packs without a restart though. The installer will automatically restart the game when you close the menu if you've installed anything.

I'd need to have confirmation from Nim but I believe the database is broken.
