Booting into the game

Any mod I try, it causes a soft crash (not immediately causing the game to close, but pops up an error message that when confirmed, closes out the game.)
Solution:
Ah, yep, you need to do the downgrade_duplicate advice then

downgrade_duplicate
The Mod Manager is reporting an error because it's trying to modify an outdated copy of the game. This could be caused by one of two things: 1. One of the installs connected to the Profile you have selected is still running a previous version. To fix this, either uninstall it, update it, or switch to a different Mod Manager profile so that it isn't considered in the update process. 2. You have leftover files in your install directory from downgrading to play a previous version. To fix this, uninstall the game (verify files won't fix this!), delete the game install directory if it still exists (this is NOT the AppData folder, but the location where you installed the game), then reinstall the game, and reopen SMM.

Because Beaver's Ficsmas Booster (AB_XMASBooster) "3.0.2" depends on Satisfactory (FactoryGame) ">=416835" and Satisfactory CL269772 is installed, Beaver's Ficsmas Booster (AB_XMASBooster) "3.0.2" is forbidden. So, because installing Beaver's Ficsmas Booster (AB_XMASBooster) "3.0.2", version solving failed. Debug info not yet generated Seems wrong? Click the button below to gather logs, then send the generated zip file on the modding Discord in #help-using-mods.
