Mod Conflict Detector??

I recently learned of a mod conflictor detector that's supposedly available to download. I found a few different types by different creators. The OG one is made by Dmitry and hasn't been updated since 2018 and the download link is no longer in existence on ModTheSims. What conflict detector do you use? (if you use one) and can you provide a link to it? Thanks!

    Here is a more recent one:

    I haven't used it myself, but it sounds awesome!
  • ?? it has a download link https://modthesims.info/d/561550/mod-conflict-detector-update-03-03-2018.html
    it hasn't been updated but i remember having used it around january this year or even last year and it managed to show i had downloaded sims 3 cc for sims 4 which was making my game not able to open.

    if you don't trust the program you could just backup your mods/saves just in case but pretty sure it still works
  • I use the one from 2018 dmitry in the link from above. It works like a charm. The only thing you cant trust is mods it tell you are broken (red color) when they are not. And the (blue green) color for conflicts. Or atleast I never had any issues leaving those conflicts in. This is not 100%accurate but let me tell just yesterday it helped me eliminate
    Over 300 duplicate files and corrupted files that didn't finish downloading properly when I downloaded the cc. They end in cr.
    Leaving one of these in my game in the past corrupted a save so I'm so super happy I found them!!

    Word of advice. I was a dumbo for years I've been scrolling and scrolling to find all the bad files randomly scattered. When yesterday I discovered you can hit the little down facing arrow at the top to chance the order of the files. And I hit it until all the duplicates and corrupted files showed at the top and I could delete them all at once ?

    One more tip. Hold ctrl key as you click on the files you want to delete in order to delete multiple at once. Then I right click while still holding ctrl down and delete
