Builders Toolkit with Mod Organizer2

[ElectricWaffle]

I am beginning to think that it would be easier to learn how to create my own building plans without using MO2. I keep going to look for things I saved in the locations the builders toolkit says only to find them not there. I figured out that MO2 keeps everything made outside of MO2 in an "Overwrite" folder. Then when I try to use my SCOL out of that overwrite folder the CK tells me it's an invalid directory. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing something silly?
Also on the Construction Stages and Upgrades PDF It doesn't really tell me how to save my broken apart SCOL into things like "kgSIM_HouseName_L1Final" Am I just following the Creating your first building PDF again?
I am very new at this and had tried my hand at it awhile ago then I got dragged away for a few months (Maybe a year) doing installs all over NE America. Any help would be appreciated even if it's to say I am a bonehead who didn't read step 2a correctly.
Thanks

sorry this was missed
ask for a invite to the builders discord many mod authors use MO so someone there should havea answear for you.

I haven't had that exact issue, but i did also have my own problems with my mod and the overwrite folder. If you right-click tgat overwrite folder you will see "create mod" as one of the options. Once you do that you can right click the mod it creates, select "open in explorer" and you can then move it or do whatever with it. Hope that helps ,I imagine it should because your issue sounds similiar to one that i had.

Also , the MO discord channel is pretty lively and that is where I've solved any of my issues.

If you are using MO2 to start CK then go to the Modify Executables dialog and Check the "create files in mod instead of overwrite(*)" check box. You should create a folder for the mod that you are going to create. If the mod file was created outside of MO2 you should use the CK outside of MO2.
