    A Respectful request,

    If you guys have a mod here @ XLNation that is the 'same/better/completely different/etc.' or may conflict with the one we download/subscribe to @ Steam and needs to be removed, please, note that in your steam description. Posting the actual name of the mod file would be helpfull as well.
    Us users can't identify a steam mod until we - subcribe to it - run the game - close the game - and then check our mods folder to identify it and compare it to our XLN mods. Even then, the only real clues that we have are the version numbers.
    Confusing (sometimes), yes indeed, and leads to a lot of "game time" consuming folder/file management, double menu icons, and even game crashes (as can be seen in both forums) that are often interpreted by users a bigger issue with the game.
    Personally, I prefer getting/managing mods from here @XLN. I am not a Steam fan either. The only reason I subcribe to a mod @steam is because it's not posted here, or ,(based on the steam description) I think/guess that it is an updated version of that mod that I already have from here @XLN.
    With all that said.... I for one appreciate the hard, creative work that is put into modding, and you guys have my thanks.

      Once you upload it to steam, go to the mod you just uploaded and on the right there are some options. One of those is to add/edit pictures.

    Nice tutorial Funky. If a player has downloaded a mod through the workshop, all they need to do is unsubscribe and the mod will be removed from their mods folder.
