REQUEST: xpath mod converter (For simple mods)

I think it is possible to create a script that will scan vanilla .xml files of configurations. So you can quickly convert them into an "xpath" function. I was thinking about doing this so I could torture ChatGPT about it. I absolutely suck at coding though, so hopefully my request will be of interest to someone.

For example, there will be 2 tabs: 1 - Change existing values. 2 - Add values

Isn't this "Mod Gen" by Pseudo Posse? I recall watching a video about it, but I haven't used it.

Since when do I need to download a 2 gigabyte program to change a couple of values in vanilla. Sure thanks for the 999 modifications above. But couldn't it have been limited to vanilla functionality without extra content?

Of course I realize I've written a lot about vanilla sucking, but I've only played on vanilla settings. And on the main save I played until the end. Now I play vanilla with what I want, and if I get bored. Only then I will already touch on overhaul mods. Because I simply will have nothing to do in vanilla.

You need to download it as is because that was what the creator wanted to release.   You could contact the creator and see if they would generate a lite version of that program, but that could be a lot of extra work for the creator since he incorporate a lot of features into it.

There is also a helpful guide on creating mods yourself without having to use this program/mod



And you can ask questions if you get stuck and I am sure community members will answer them if they can.

I found another one, but not sure if this will work today with the current version
