RaidersClamoring Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Where do FOMOD-settings go, if anywhere, in a human readable format? Some xml or json somewhere?I'd like to be able to review them after installing as I have terrible memory and it would make it easier to troubleshoot problems and garish outcomes.

showler Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 You would probably need to ask in a support forum for whichever mod manager you are using. The answer is probably different for each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinxys Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 My guess is it's in the fomod's temp, it probably doesn't store or output unless set up to log.Even then, could just overwrite itself each run. :pinch: You make a valid point though, and I completely agree with your assertion!Thank you so much for realizing that and bringing it to everyones' attention. :D You are absolutely right, I would like this too, because it is sort of a blitz/haze [fog-of-war] scenario.I've taken to weird annotations in a spreadsheet to monitor/track some choices. The same is true for replacement info/choices.Of course, backtracking to debug is often more painful than clobbering it with an overwrite. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWolf01 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Yeah I agree, this is a very interesting question.I wasn't curious about it, until you asked, RC. TBH, I dunno if the installer even extracts the .xml files from the archive. Or whether it just reads it from where it's at.I went digging through old backups of my game install, from back when I was using NMM. There was no records of Info.xml or ModuleConfig.xml in any of my backups. Which are the two files that are important to the question. Both of those you can read via any text editor, or even via your browser, BTW. ;) (But can't edit, in the latter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. Well, as they say 'misery loves company'. :Z Yeah that "fomod" folder contains next to nothing. Currently a SimSettlements2 xml is kicking around in there holding barely any information.
