What to do if multiple mods have a gamedata folder?

[nickrulercreator]

I just downloaded 3 mods, and all of them say to install their GameData folder. I can't have multiple GameData folders, though. How do I fix this?

Most mods these days a packaged GameData/themod, never add a GameData folder to the GameData folder , as you surmise this would be bad,

Simply remove themod folder from the downloaded GameData folder and place themod folder in GameData

I should also mention that if you unzip and merge the downloaded GameData  folder into your KSP root directory( the main folder) that would also work properly

Why is it bad? I do it for clarification to make clear they should put the content in the gamefolder

I wasn't saying that method of packaging was bad, I was saying that placing another Gamedata folder in the games  GameData folder is bad and will break things , for further clarification  anything that results in file paths like KSP/GameData/GameData/themod/  is what I'm referring to
