Requirements
Mod Organizer 2

Check what changes during activation

Use the tree snampshots to check what files are copied during the mod activation.

Installation

  • extract the rootbuilder folder to mo2\plugins folder
  • remove the contents of the existing folder before updating to a newer version

Manual build and clear

By default, the root_builder uses Autobild that copies any file in root folder of a mod to the \\mo2\\stock_game folder when launching an application through MO2. The files are deleted when the application exits.

To avoid all this copy & delete, you can:

  • uncheck the Autobuild
  • click the Build button to copy the files to the stock game folder

    manual build

  • click the Clear when you need to remove them

    manual clear

Tip

You are entirely responsible for building and clearing the root files, if you disable the Autobild.

Some simple rules of thumb:

  • clear before installing new root mod
  • build after that or just before launching an app
  • you don't need to clear and build as long as you don't install new root mods
