CKan question

[Jimbo Jangles]

I've been using CKan for the first time and noticing that some of the mods/plugins I want to use are not on the compatible list. I was wondering if CKan will throw a fit if I just slip them into the gamedata folder, any thoughts or previous experience would help greatly. Thanks in advance!

Personally, I don't recommend CKAN, but, its fine to do what you want.  It doesn't manage mods you install manually.  It just won't let you install a mod which has an outdated version number through its own GUI (whether it works fine or not).

To add to what Alshain said, - you may see it show up in the list as "AD" (that's autodetected) in the CKAN list, but CKAN will not touch it.

I'm only using ckan because I recently got a new computer and it makes it super easy to try different mods. I'm probably going to go back to manually installing everything one I figure out my prefect mix.
