This is bananas. The vitriol is so strong that I'm not sure I can keep playing this game anymore (I found the Reddit 'malware' thread and wish I hadn't). Nevertheless, I stand by you and your actions, for what it's worth.

The whole thing is Trump-worthy, and it's disheartening. Capitalism in action in games.

Ohhhh my bad, I saw them in the list and my brain conflated them. Yes, I'm using Prop & Tree Anarchy, not the two discrete ones. Apologies -- it's late here and I should probably get off the computer ;)

This is probably not super useful since mod setups are so variable, but (as I've noted elsewhere) I've been using Harmony (redesigned) with most of the 'popular' mods for months now and have no issues at all.

A short but not comprehensive list includes Lifecycle Rebalance and various versions of Realistic Population Revisited, MoveIt!, FindIt, TMPE, Tree Anarchy, various BOB mods, Klyte's network-related mods, Ploppable RICO Revisited, LOD-tweaks, gfx tweaks, Theme Mixer, and so on, not to mention usually 2-3k assets. According to Steam I'm currently running 87 mods (just mods, not maps, assets, themes, etc), and C:S has only crashed once in the last 18 months.

Yes, various reports occasionally claim there are issues, but most of those are Harmony itself picking up on stuff from other mods. If there's any info about my specs or setup that might be useful to you, @Chaos, please let me know. I'm dismayed & outraged by the bullying you're having to put up with here.

Can confirm. I regularly use all of the above & Harmony (redesigned) together, with the exception of EML, and have no issues other than those caused by my assets-mania.

"Use "Harmony from Chaos" and accept no substitutes"

I did, I do, and I shall continue to do so.

As an aside, the courtroom-adjacent level of drama engendered by this whole thing, and the pettiness shown by CO & associates, is mind-boggling to me.

Yikes. This sort of stuff blows my mind. Thank you for the cogent explanations, for those of us who have some interest but don't want to delve into what seems to be some pretty mucky business.

As someone who can't code to save her life but *loves* the benefits mods bring to so many games, I'm super grateful for the work you're doing here. (Mod-addiction is only a problem if you admit it is. I can quit anytime! *cough* Skyrim *cough*)

Have tried to catch up on the mean-girls shenanigans, but I'm autistic and people make very little sense to me at the best of times. However, am liking what I've seen of this redesign so far, not to mention all your help even in the few threads that are here (which was why I originally came here, panicking about my missing dependencies, which are *whew!* benign).

Very much looking forward to what you're announcing here, esp since mod management for C:S is frustrating at best and a fustercluck at worst.
