FAQ

Is there a detailed guide on how to use this?
- Yes, here
I am having a lot of BAD FILE failures while installing mods.
- The BAD FILE error usually happens because the downloaded file is corrupt or empty. This can be fixed by changing the method of installation to SMODS. Go through the guide on how to do it.
Some of the items keep failing repeatedly with [!] symbol, and the script doesn't end.
- This is a known bug, which will be fixed later. For now, if the script seems to be stuck in a loop, giving [!] symbol for the same item repeatedly, use ctrl + c to terminate the script.
Which terminal are you using?
- I'm using Hyper, with zsh.
