[TEC] How to Fix Mod Soup Issues

these are the steps you need to take if you think you have mod soup issues corrupting your game.

mod soup is when files are modded or changed in some way while mods are still installed in the game. doing this has the effect of causing them to no longer be recognised by jsgme so the game is corrupted by having these unrecognised "modded" files left behind after a mod has been uninstalled.


mod soup repair method:

step 1
uninstall all your game mods with jsgme

step 2
move the "MODS" folder found in your games main directory folder
to your desktop so it is no longer there (or just delete it if you dont need the mod files there)

step 3
run jsgme in order to create a brand new "MODS" folder in your games main directory folder

step 4
now replace your mods in jsgme by opening the "MODS" folder you moved to your desktop and moving the mod folders one at a time from the desktops "MODS" folder into the new "MODS" folder you just created in your games main directory folder.

do not try a "move all" thing or you will move the corrupted backup files too so moving the mod folders one at a time avoids any chance of moving the corrupted "hidden" backup files along with them.

and you are done
