New Game Mod Selector

[Th3Cap3]

Good Afternoon mod geniuses!

I had a thought today about a mod that I think would be awesome if possible (I may be crazy).

I've noticed a number of people on reddit and with friends of mine that they sometimes want to install mods and play with them but also have a stock save/career. As it stands right now, if you load up that stock save once you have mods installed, all those mods will be applied to the save that was stock. So I thought, what if there was a plugin or a mod that would pop up and ask you which mods you wanted to play with when you start a new game? It could be a check the box type list that lists all the detected mods in the game data folder, but would allow you to select the ones you wanted to show up in the game, so if you didn't want to play with mods, just uncheck all of them and go on your way.

I am not sure what all would be involved, I'm a noob when it comes to programming (otherwise I would attempt to make this plugin myself...I wouldn't even know where to begin), but I thought I would put it up for the great mod minds in these forums :-) Thanks for your time!

The main problem is that many KSP add-ons, particularly plugins, are preloaded when starting up the game, and can't be dynamically unloaded/reloaded while the game is running. Therefore your suggestion isn't technically possible.

Just make a copy of the whole Kerbal Space Program directory, and keep one game with mods and one without. Or as many copies with different variations as you like.
