GTR2 ESSENTIAL by DurgeDriven
Firstly an overwhelming thank you to DucFreak and GTR233 granting
permission to re-package their mods for the first release.
Without that I would never have bothered.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
1. Fresh GTR2 install
2. Official Simbin update v1.1
*** To complete the Essentials Tutorial a Fresh untouched GTR2 v1.1 is mandatory ***
*** Having said that installing this MOD to any existing GTR2 no matter how modded
is 100% safe to test.
Any conflicts or errors you can restore in one click
However, realize you will get no overwrite warnings
I highly recommend Essentials Standalone method gives you more flexibility
PREPARATION:
*** SOME PACKAGES HAVE BEEN RENAMED OR REMOVED
*** BACKUP ALL YOUR OWN MODIFIED JSGME MODS
*** DE-ACTIVATE ALL MODS IN ALL GTR2 FOLDERS
*** DELETE ALL MODS and MODS INFO folders IN ALL GTR2 FOLDERS
*** READING the GTR2 ESSENTIALS TUTORIALS is Essential !
WARNING:
REMEMBER ! Soon as you do ANY MANUAL INSTALLS to any GTR folders that use ESSENTIALS you will have TROUBLES !
EXAMPLE:
You install a mod manually that overwrites some files from a already installed JSGME package
Sometime later you de-active the JSGME Mod that was manually overwritten
JSGME will give you no warning and replace the files with the original backup
So your manually installed mod will now more then likely be corrupted
Anything you want to add PACKAGE it for JSGME !
Then you will avoid situation described above
TIPS:
*** Recommended tools for packaging MODS: Beyond Compare and Text Crawler Pro
*** Use Windows Explorer to delete or rename MODS
JSGME right-click "re-naming" is very easy to delete a MOD and deleted mods don't go to recycle bin
JSGME right-click doesn't do multi-highlight
