Hi there and first thx for the tutorial ;) I just have three remarks:
1) "Script Mods; more complicated mods that actually introduce some sort of code in to the game. These cannot be organized in a folder structure i.e. they must be in the ‘Mods’ folder and must be in a .zip file."
This can be confusing since nowadays script files are mostly *.ts4script Files and not *.Zip Files. It could lead ppl to just install the Downloaded Zip instead of extracting the Package & ts4script Files inside the zip. Also to better organize the Mod Folder it would be good for ppl to know that Script Files can be indeed in a Subfolder but only one and not deeper unless the creator explicit tells them to install it directly in the Mod Folder.
2) "Note: script mods can seriously harm your game and I do not recommend them. However, for some more complex mods to work they may come with a script file which they need. Usually the creator will provide detailed instructions."
I know it is just your recommandation but in my Opinion most "Script" Mods are "harmless" since they only add Interactions to Objects & Sims and don't change anything deeper like game changing script Mods (for example Pregnancy Mega Mod, UI Cheats etc). I feel like a generalization like that could scare ppl away from Mods that do include a Script File to add Interactions to the Game?
3) You used this to be added to the Resource.cfg
Priority 500
PackedFile *.package
PackedFile *\*.package
but below you say to organize the Mods Folder like this
Mods/Clothing/Female/Tops
Mods/Hair/Female
Mods/Make Up/Female/Eye Liner
So wouldn't it be better to let ppl actually add this to the Resource.cfg?
Priority 500
PackedFile *.package
PackedFile */*.package
PackedFile */*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.package
Besides my remarks i will keep an eye on this Tut since it can be helpful for users who often ask me how to install my mods^^
