Best Practices
- • Use Content Manager for everything - Drag and drop mods, auto-detects format
- • Read mod descriptions - Many require CSP, specific versions, or dependencies
- • Test mods individually - Install one, test it, then add another. Makes troubleshooting easy.
- • Update CSP before installing new mods - Many new mods require latest CSP builds
- • Don't overload - 500 cars = slow loading times. Keep what you actually use.
- • Backup before major installs - Copy Documents\Assetto Corsa folder before big updates
