Checkout Menu Manager

Checkout Menu Manager provides a safe and easy way to add custom categories to your checkout menu. As a user, this means you can install mods that support SMM without having to worry about ending up with a broken build menu if you choose to uninstall them.

• Forgot to run the uninstaller for each user

Okay, maybe they didn't scream, but you get the idea. Sooner or later someone doesn't read the instructions or just forgets to follow them. At this point they have two options:

Reinstall your mod, run the uninstaller, and disable it again.

Install one of the floating menu fixer mods and restart the game a few times.

It hurts a little, right?

SMM makes uninstallation happen automatically. When you register a menu with SMM, it remembers which plugins were added for each menu. If it notices that the plugin has been removed (that is, the mod has been uninstalled), it will delete them.

How to add SMM support to your mod:

Create a mission and check "Launch Game"

Attach SettlementMenuManager:MenuInstaller.psc to it.

Set the PluginName, ModName and Author properties on the script.

Add structure to every menu you want SMM to add to your game. The ModMenu value in each structure must be a keyword or form. TargetMenu is where SMM places menus.

Alternatively, you can simply copy the task from SMM_Example_Plugin.esp and follow steps 3 and 4 above to change the properties.

Once done, you need to add the following (or something similar) to your mod description:

This mod uses the Checkout Menu Manager to add custom checkout menu categories. This means you don't need to worry about running a special holotape/chem before uninstalling: just remove it from the load order.

In addition to notifications, you might be better off adding SMM as a requirement on your mod page.

For modders who need more help adding modM to their mods, we now have a tutorial in the Files tab by Whisper/Bionicyardiff that covers the crafting menu as well as adding SMM specifically.
