    Hi, is it better to have a huge mod pack or singular mods with their individual .rar files, or it makes no difference?
    I'm asking because the game detects a big .rar file filled with mods as just 1 mod, so maybe there could be some performance differences.

    if you have more zip files, iirc it will be slower.

    I would prefer single mods because you can deactivate parts of it that you don't want

    Is the "big RAR file filled with mods" Agent's meshslap pack? It's 1 mod, not multiple, they got merged into 1 file for some reason. Imo having multiple mods is better, unless there is one mod for another mod that could be a part of it (like Maluch and Flying Maluch which still works btw), so you don't have to deactivate both every time.

    Yes we can use that pack as an example, if someone wanted they could merge different mods into a pack to decrease the number of .rar files and boost performance. I know it wouldn't be ideal for other reasons, but just from a performance standpoint im wondering if it would actually make a difference.
    thank you for the responses.
