I use Jsgme with other games, and they usually not have a lot of folders unlike in sh3 which has all of them, like this when several mods adds the same folders the program detects conflicts and greys out the 'overwrited' mod even if it is just a folder conflict, which is a pain if i need to disable a mod on the top of the list to update it, i need to disable a lot of other mods first update and then enable them all again.
So a version without folder conflicts would made this the perfect mod organizer for me. Just don't remove the folder if there is files in it and thats it, maybe thick an option if the user wants folder conflicts or not?.
Thanks.

Nicolas, your message is 2 years old but having just seen it, I'll reply as JGSME is still the gold standard in this forum & subsim gaming. JGSME is OK for mod isolation, GREAT for load order management. It does nothing for conflict visualisation and conflict resolution. There are quite a few software packages that can do this for you, here is a short list:
https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/mod...ers-Comparison
One such software I am aware and have personally used is Mod Organiser and here are the sites for it:
https://www.modorganizer.org and
https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer
Just to be clear I have no affiliation with them I'm just a happy MO user - it is open source free software anyway.
I am also a happy JGSME user by the way, nothing wrong with JGSME, both good tools in the same domain with different feature set.
Mod Organizer is originally created for Bethesda Games (Elder Scrolls series/Oblivion, Fallout, Skyrim etc.) they only recently started adding built-in explicit support for other games however I have been using it for years by jumping hoops such as creating a blank text file and renaming it Oblivion.exe and OblivionLauncher.exe (so MO thinks it is managing Oblivion and works OK). If you want support on it, create a thread and PM me to let me know the thread URL and I will help you out set up MO to manage SilentHunter or any other game really.
To give you an idea here is two 'mod conflict' screenshot examples. We have two tiny (Silent Hunter 4) mods here, both overwriting the same "Commands.cfg" file where key bindings are configured.
In one screenshot one of them is on top thus the bottom one (that gets added later in execution) overwrites it.
In the other screenshot I drag & dropped to change order so the other one gets overwritten.
Obviously load order changing alone can work sometimes. At other times it is not very helpful (you can do that in JGSME anyway), in MO however you can see what exactly is being overwritten which makes it easier to manually handle the conflict. Here is some more info if you're interested:

There might be better (newer) ones also, I've seen some on Reddit but personally haven't tried them out. Good luck!
