    Hello, everyone.

    Managing storage space for Train Sim World is becoming increasingly difficult as the size and number of DLCs keep growing with every new release. Not everyone has large drives that can hold over 500 GB of DLC downloaded and installed at once. To solve this problem, I created TSW Addon Manager, a tool that lets you move your DLCs to another drive or location while still keeping them fully playable in-game.

    Not only that, this tool also features a Mod Manager, which keeps your mods completely separate from the official DLC folder. You can easily enable or disable any mod. You can easily enable or disable any mod. You can also drag and drop your downloaded mods into the app to install them quickly.

    DLC Manager
    The DLC Manager allows you to control where your DLCs are stored. Its key features are:
    • Transfer DLCs to another drive to free up space while still being able to play them.
    • This feature works using symbolic links, so the game sees the DLC as if it’s still in its original location. Steam can also update moved DLCs without any issues.
    • You can keep only your favorite DLCs on the fastest drive to improve performance.
    • One-Click Restore allows you to move stuff back whenever you desire.

    Mod Manager
    Mods are just as easy to manage with a clean and simple interface. Its key features are:
    • Keep all of your mods organized and separate from the official DLCs.
    • Enable or disable mods easily.
    • Drag and drop new mods directly into the app to install them. No need to navigate through folders.
    • Rename mods and add reminders about their purpose or source.

    Important Info
    • The app needs administrative rights to create symbolic links, which let the game see moved DLCs as if they’re still in the original location. The app only uses these permissions for that purpose.
    • The tool doesn’t modify core game files. It only moves DLC .pak files and uses symbolic links so the game can still load them properly.

    Please do check it out, and if you find anything weird or have ideas to make it better, let me know!
