Hi there!

I'm a new player. One thing I prefer doing with any game is going through it entirely without mods to experience the game as originally intended.
To that end I am watching some videos and learning about the various mechanics of the game. During that I'm seeing some mods they use I would like to add in the future for a new save.

My first suggestion is adding an option in the https://mods.vintagestory.at/ to either Favorite a mod or to Endorse it like how Nexusmods does. The idea is it has a page I can click on and see which mods I've Endorsed or added to Favorites. However what I'm looking for specifically I don't believe is on Nexus either.

My second suggestion is adding a Profile system like Mod Organizer does for Skyrim, etc. That way I could make a mods list Profile for various ways I want to play the game. Maybe that's too ambitious for now. (I think this idea is doable but simpler than might be imagined. I provided my thoughts as a layman below.)

To make the second idea less complex my thoughts would be - Add the Profiles option in a drop down when you "Favorite" a mod or "Add to Profile". So you add it to a Profile 1-10 it doesn't integrate in anyway with the game. (It could if you wanted but that's a lot of work.) The point of it is organization. I can manually delete mods as needed in the Client and then use the Profile 1-10 on the webpage GUI to add my new ones when starting a playthrough. That way my mods list in the client isn't cluttered with things I can't rightly recall; I foresee that being an issue.

Closing thoughts - Thank you for reading this far. I don't actually like the phrasing "Favorites" or even "Endorsement" I personally believe it can breed an unhealthy competition between mod authors but that is how war is fought which can lead to innovation sometimes, so idk.

I'm personally looking for something to make my time modding easier to track my planned mods. Like I say, I'm in vanilla right now with a few QoL mods but I've got plans and those plans will be lost to time. Of course I can also bookmark in browser so this in itself is QoL it'd make it streamlined in my mind.

Great game. Thanks for reading. Hope to see more great updates in the future. Peace!🕊️


EDIT: GUYS, I see there is an option to Follow. I cannot believe I missed that. I still stand by the idea to add a Profile 1-10 option but they've beaten me to the punch it seems. Good work!

Well you can follow a mod. I don't know if that would fill the functionality you're looking for.

Some form of mod profiles has been a big feature request for a long time. We've been told it's on the roadmap, though we shouldn't expect it to turn up tomorrow.

I cannot believe I missed that. I just didn't see the button. That's good. My post is just bump filler then. Thanks for the heads up.
