Please support this modder with a small donation.

Description:

This mod is the base for my Semi Modular Mods system, where the goal is to be easily able to copy & paste, add and remove mods into F1 23 in a more convenient way than c&p too many files or EEA all around the game.

Without this mod (system), it will not be possible to do easy chassis/face swaps in the future.

Requirements:

This mod is part of Semi Modular Mods and every mod that has SemiMoMods written in the title or description must have these base files installed first.

F1 23 - Play as Calderon, Chadwick, Mayer - fonts.erp

F1 23 - Formula Performance Templates - sc_unlocks.erp

F1 23 - No Fog at Nightraces - core_assets_ui.erp

F1 23 - MyTeam Package Templates - words.erp

F1 23 - F1 2023 Teams for MyTeam - achievements.erp

Installation:

When you install this first, go into F - Full Install or if you update from a previous version, go into U - Update Install and follow the following process:

Copy 2023_asset_groups from the F1 23 folder into your game F1 23 folder and hit yes to overwrite.

!!! Do not simply remove any of the erp files, only because the only file inside is a dummy,

!!! else your game will crash. These are placeholder-slots for future SemiMoMods.

X - optional: This database enables force feedback for gamepad users on all surfaces (overwrite previous)

Removal:

Make your own backup before. When you have installed a released SemiMoMod and want to remove it, replace it with the correct placeholder erp file from these base files.

Compatibility:

Things have changed and this is the best we get. These base files will overwrite 8 original erp files.
This means that the databases.erp contains all information (and the start screen) from the other 7 files.
The other 7 files (3 in ui_package, 4 in game_package) are placeholders and will be replaced by upcoming Semi Modular Mods like faceswaps, chassis swaps, performance mods etc. etc.

Note:

This base file might be updated over time, when a game patch has been released. So make sure to keep this mod uptodate whenever you are using a semi modular mod.
You are sad that it is not more convenient like in the past? Me too, T.T~

Permissions/Disclaimer:

Do not include the databases.erp into your mod, ask me for permission if you intend to do something with it, before releasing your stuff.
Do not merge or abuse the dummies for your own mod/purpose. They will be replaced with SemiMoMods over the time, there is a plan and a system which file will be used for what - so if you intend to kidnap one of those files for a different purpose Ask me beforehand.
MODS DO NOT WORK ONLINE
disable cloud save is also best practice and can prevent issues (yeah, sorry to EA players)
