can I run mods without the mod manager
question is in the title but i'm gonna add to that. after I install whatever mods I want to use with the mod manager can I then use mods without the manager? Asking cause my wife plays satisfactory while she's at work and streams it through steam from her home pc but now that mods are being released we want to play with mods.
Solution
SMM just moves mods in and out of the game directory, the 'play satisfactory' button is just provided as a convenience - SMM does not need to be running for mods to work.
