Today's update introduces the Mod Manager for the game. This allows you to activate and de-activate your mods inside the game without having to uninstall them. It should also help resolve some issues that can occur when new official content is released, as you'll be able to deactivate mods that are not temporary compatible. Mods can be obtained through multiple third-party sources. To help you create and enable them, we've created a Mod Guide, which you can download here: DOWNLOAD
