What's the deal with upgrading to .20x?

[johnnyhandsome]

Previously there was a Pllugins folder and Plugins data folder. Now I'm reading on the forum that mods are supposed to go in the new Game Data folder. Which method is correct?

KSP_win/GameData

(and if you want ot really orderly, a separate folder for each mod/plugin)

(and as subfolder the folders which you are used to, like Parts, Plugins, Flags and so on (as an example you can see the subfolder of squad within the GameData folder, which contains the data for the stock parts))

read the instructions that come with the mod. its the only way to be sure. otherwise:

legacy: install things in the same folders you are used to

new: install things in the KSP_*/GameData/ModName/

im starting to wish squad would have done a hard changeover instead of supporting 2 ways to install mods. i really feel sorry for the mod users who dont know how to open a readme file and read it.

Hmm, putting the new method (in Game Data) doesn't seem to work for MechJeb 2. Gots to look over at that forum thread, boo.

Having separate folders for mods really helps with my CDO... I'm enjoying the new layout.
