Introduction

Managing mods can be a complex task, especially when dealing with multiple mods and their associated files. In many cases, users may need to delete a mod from their system, but the process can be cumbersome and time-consuming. To address this issue, we propose allowing users to delete mods from their system using a dedicated tool. This feature will not only simplify the mod management process but also provide users with greater control over their system.

Benefits of Mod Deletion from Tool

Allowing users to delete mods from their system using a tool offers several benefits, including:

Improved user experience: By providing a straightforward and efficient way to delete mods, users can manage their system with greater ease and convenience.
Enhanced system management: The ability to delete mods from the tool will enable users to maintain a clean and organized system, reducing the risk of conflicts and errors.
Increased user control: Users will have greater control over their system, allowing them to make informed decisions about which mods to keep and which to remove.

Current Challenges with Mod Deletion

Currently, deleting mods can be a challenging and time-consuming process. Users often need to:

Manually search for and delete mod files: This can be a tedious and error-prone process, especially when dealing with multiple mods and their associated files.
Use third-party tools or software: While some third-party tools may offer mod deletion capabilities, these tools may not be reliable or user-friendly.
Rely on game-specific mod management tools: Game-specific mod management tools may not provide the level of control and flexibility that users need to manage their mods effectively.

Proposed Solution: Mod Deletion from Tool

To address the challenges associated with mod deletion, we propose the development of a dedicated tool that allows users to delete mods from their system. This tool will provide a user-friendly interface for managing mods, making it easier for users to:

Search for and select mods to delete: Users will be able to search for and select the mods they want to delete, making it easier to manage their system.
Preview and confirm deletion: Before deleting a mod, users will be able to preview the files associated with the mod and confirm the deletion.
Manage mod dependencies: The tool will also allow users to manage mod dependencies, ensuring that mods are deleted in the correct order to avoid conflicts and errors.

Technical Requirements

To develop the mod deletion tool, we will need to:

Integrate with the game's mod management system: The tool will need to integrate with the game's mod management system to access mod metadata and file information.
Develop a user-friendly interface: The tool will need to provide a user-friendly interface for searching, selecting, and deleting mods.
Implement mod dependency management: The tool will need to implement mod dependency management to ensure that mods are deleted in the correct order.

Implementation Plan

To implement the mod deletion tool, we will follow the following plan:

Research and planning: We will conduct research on existing mod management tools and identify the key features and requirements for the new tool. Design and prototyping*: We will design and prototype the tool, ensuring that it meets the technical requirements and provides a user-friendly interface.
