Hi there,

 

I'm confused, so you'll need to clarify for me.  What does "the mod uses the same files" mean?

Basically one of my mods have a file named "albo1125.common" and when i was going to install another mod it had the exact same file in it, I am not sure what to do with the file do i replace or do i just skip that file?

The 'common' files that many mod authors release allow them to avoid writing code that does the same thing and including it in multiple different plugins.

 

In general, you can replace these files when adding a new one that also includes it — just make sure that you do not replace a newer version of the "common" file with an older version. You can check version numbers by right-clicking the file, choosing Properties and going to the Details tab.

alright thanks

By the way does Skin Control Still work? I seem to have problems like the button won't launch the menu
