Ty to @Drokmar68 for using their post as an example to install issues

Installing a mod is just as relevant as choosing a mod, often or not we just throw it to our Mod manager and forget about it, but unlike me, Mod Managers are not perfect. There are many reasons why they get it wrong and more often it happens with larger mods, resulting in things like CTD's, scripting errors and ulimately a fresh game. In here we will look at
How To, more then
Why and this is because of the time it would take to explain the latter.
I would read
@Drokmar68 post to get a better undestanding of the why's, but here I am going to talk about the
HOW TO AVOID
With a large mod like Sim Settlements it is always wise to install using the direct method (Yes I always do) and updating is just as simple as installing:

However with the case of
@Drokmar68 his issues where with Vortex and the Virtual folders
So, for folks following this thread. It looks like its Vortex and their stupid virtual folders and installs. I uninstalled all the mods from Vortex and then went back and manually installed all the mods and so far crashing would be normal for a Bethesda game... so far.
The simple solution as you can read above was to manually install the mods - problem solved.
In other cases, Nexus Mod manager can cause issues, unpacking files incorrectly, amoungst others.
So why is it better to install manually then?
Well because, they WILL get placed in the correct areas, unless they are packed incorrectly or you point them to the wrong place, well then nothing will help you, only maybe a sign from
.
So following the simple steps in the guide above, you have you mod installed, later on you use the same process to update, obviosuly to select yes to overwriting any files when updating, but of course we all know that
So what happens when you don't want that mod anymore, honestly?, just a bit of time really.
