User Guide

The essential workflow and safety rules. A more detailed guide is built directly into the application.

2-Minute Quick Start

  1. Close ETS2 or ATS completely.
  2. Choose your game and profile. Use the game/profile control at the top of the workspace.
  3. Find a mod. Search or combine Category, Status and Source filters.
  4. Activate it. Use Make active, double-click or drag it to Active Load Order.
  5. Arrange the order. TOP is highest priority; BOTTOM is lowest.
  6. Apply when ready. Until then, changes remain pending and can be undone.

Important information

Always close the game before editing. Reopen ETS2 or ATS only after the new order has been applied.

Profiles must be created in the game first. The application manages existing profiles; it does not create or delete them.

Profiles and loading

Local and Steam Cloud profiles are discovered automatically. The profile selector is opened from the game/profile control. Large catalogues may take longer to scan; the loading card confirms that work is continuing.

Mod Details

Select a mod in either list to see the same underlying item. Where supplied by its manifest, artwork and description are loaded read-only. Local FILE links reveal the exact package in Explorer; STEAM links open its Workshop page.

A Possible Local / Steam Match advisory means the same normalized title and overlapping author information were found in both sources. It is a review prompt, not proof of duplication, and the entries remain separate.

Available Mods and Active Load Order

Available Mods is the complete installed catalogue. Active entries remain visible and carry an ACTIVE badge unless Hide Active is enabled. Active Load Order is the exact order for the selected profile.

Finding and checking mods

Search works with mod titles and, when enabled, filenames. Filters can be combined. Duplicate Finder is intended for accidental local Windows copies and never deletes anything.

Safety and backups

Apply creates a safety backup before writing, then reads the result back and verifies the active order. The 10 newest app-managed backups are retained for each profile; unrelated backups are left alone.

Backup → Write → Read Back → Verify

Copy Load Order

Copy Load Order replaces only the destination profile's active order. Installed mod files are not copied, moved or changed. Review unavailable items before applying at the destination.
