In-app folder organization and nesting

In the Sims, having an organized folder is vital for the mods to function. Too many all in one space and the game will struggle to read them and execute all of the scripts. Having sub-folders is incredibly important, as is how the files are nested. IE: you cannot put script files more than 1 folder deep, or they will not be enacted. But .package files can nest deeper. By nesting mods into folders it lets us keep track of them for removal or updates, and it allows the game to read them all without missing anything or losing functionality.

The one thing that has kept me from wanting to use Curseforge at all of managing or downloading my mods is the fact that it just has them all listed all at once without any regard for what folder I put them in, and it'll slap things down in the base folder without me being able to say "Hey can you put this in the Food and Crafting folder?"

If we could pick what folders mods are being added to, and if we could view groups of mods by the folder they're in instead of the whole mess all at once, it would make the modding experience a lot easier, and your app more worth using. Because being able to automatically update a chunk of my mods? That'd be a delight! A welcome reprieve. It'd save me so much time and hassle.

As the app is right now, it instead feels like trying to accomplish a task with someone who is stubbornly half-assing it, and putting more of the workload on my shoulders in protest. Sure, they're washing the dishes, but they're leaving them on the stove in a pile instead of stacking them up nice and neat where they belong.


Also because of the sheer volume of mods I use, viewing it one folder at a time would prevent freezes and crashes from happening. Seriously, my mod list is a five digit number, I CANNOT use your app without folder integration.
