    that's it. Given the same quantity of Unpacked mods, 0.22 takes a few seconds, while 0.23.5 takes minutes. Why this dowgrade?!

    Is there a workaround like packing them all in zip files like when you dowload from official repo in game? Hoping in this way it is faster to load? I tried to zip them and put in repo folder, they are seen by the game but not shown in the spawn menu. The same if I put the zips in mods folder. They only work in Unpacked folder

    thanks

    You are never supposed to have more than 1 or 2 mods unpacked at the same time, I would just manually move the ones you don't use out of the game

    Hi Agent_Y,

    well I don't agree with you: the original cars and maps are very nice, yes, but they are ooold! We are talking about a 2013 game! Honestly, it lives thanks to the mods! With two mods what I can do? And what a boring if every time I want to play I have to choose which one to move in Unpacked and then launch the game.

    The point here are regressions. Every time they poop a new version they break a feature. In 0.22 I could have 20 mods Unpacked and it started in a snap!

    I would be happy also to zip them all and put in /repo folder, if it is faster to load. But it doesn't work..

    Mods aren't meant to be unpacked, they are meant to be each in a separate zip file.
    Also i disagree, the in-game cars are way enough, most of the time i play without mods. Plus they are way better quality than most mods.

    Hi Turbo49>

    ok so can you please tell me how to manage a packed mod downloaded outside game Repository manager? For instance from modland.com? So far I managed to make them work by unzipping in Unpacked folder. If I just put the zip file in /mods folder or /mods/repo folder the game will list them in the mod menu but will not show them in spawn menu

    Thanks

    Just don't download mods from Modland, they are so bad that it's not worth the effort. Idk if there is a way to get them to work normally, nobody even tests them, that's how bad they are.

    Don't download mods from there, if you want motorcycles take a look at CRGZ's motorcycles here on the forums, they should work normally and they will be of way better quality.
