Adding Mods

With previous versions, installing package mods required you to
first extract the “.package” files somewhere, and then add them with the manager.
In the current version of TS4MM, that step is removed. If the package mod or mods
that you have downloaded are contained in a “.zip”, “.rar”, or “.7z” archive,
you can simply drag them in to the manager, or add them with the button,
and the manager will automatically extract any “.package” files in the archive into your Mods folder.

You do not have to worry about whether or not the mod you download is a script mod.
The manager will discern the difference by looking at the contents of the archive,
and if it is a script mod, it will copy it to your Mods folder.

Hotkeys

Applies only to the mod manager tab.

Unzip and extract anywhere, then double-click “TS4MM_<version>-Setup.exe” and follow the steps for installation.
After it’s installed, simply double-click the icon on your desktop named “TS4 Mod Manager”.

Requires .NET Framework 4 or higher.
