mods do they mess up the game?

I made this post to ask people if they think mods mess up games.I think they do because i installed mods and the game started to mess up and I had to reinstill the game.

mods dont but FLMM does

So make a complete /data/ folder backup BEFORE you try any mods, then When FLMM right hand twists your FL install, then you just copy paste back the folder over the fubared one

Yep, most mods make some nice changes, but unfort FLMM isn't 100% reliable. Sometimes it will delete or not restore old files back to their rightful place. Heck - sometimes it just doesn't uninstall the mod full stop. You can use the SDK to "replace" some of the files - basically the data folder ones, but it won't replace the Freelancer.ini file, the dll files (if the mod replaced one) or the mpnewplayer.fl and newplayer.fl files. Personally - back up your EXE folder and donwload the SDK.

At any time you can then install the SDK and restore your EXE folder back. Best thing is that it won't take much space/time - whereas as good as the other suggestion, it will take about 600Mb of space (this way takes about 20Meg or so)

hmmm.... I personally cannot recall how many times I have had to reinstall freelancer and the mod manager since I started using it.... lol, just make sure you record your multiplayer account id on paper, then your good to go and mess it up all you want

actully mods sorta mess up the game. one time i was playing w/ a mod and 3 things were missing
a. when you find lonnigan on the second mission, the robot is missing is data pad thingy
b. when you on benford the asteroid is missing when your outside benford.
c. Sinclair is invisible when you meet her on sprauge

FLMM is usually quite reliable for me but this is just IMO

this happens to me all the time. Tip... make up a back up of content.dll
and have a copy of SDK. Then you only have to replace the files (alot quicker than installing).
