I'm new to installing mods for my super deepthroat loader. But I don't understand the tutorial on installing mods from the "$init$" folder. It said I should copy and paste the name into "mod.txt", but how exactly? Add a ".swf" at the end? Replace the spaces with a '_'? I've tried several times, but none of them worked. Right now, the one I want to install the most is the mod from the user "yoboi" (animtools), specifically the one where the women have new arm gestures and react to different circumstances. Because I'm interested in mods where the women are cooperative and do more than just smile and verbally support.

- Moved your question to a new thread, as
tickles
hasn't been seen since 2023. - Removed attachments, per Help Rules (Give a link to the mod you are having problems with (do not upload it here, it's useless).)
Link: Arm Overhaul -

, per Help rules (Mention its author (type @ then the name of the modder).) - If you need help, please read first the SDT Newbie Guide, and search in the FAQs on Discord.
If you still need advice, you can ask on Discord #questions-help, - I cannot help you, as I know nothing about the Loader.

The precise answer is that the Mods.txt file is a list of the mod files inside of the $INIT$ folder. Each mod is placed onto its own line, complete with the file extension for it (generally .swf but sometimes other things - check the file itself; I advise making extensions on files visible). Put it in EXACTLY as the mod file has it. If a mod was, say:
armOverhaulV1.swf
then you would put EXACTLY that onto its own line inside the Mods.txt file, complete with the exact capitalization the filename has. Once you've added your changes, save the text file and then restart the game. If done properly it should load just fine. If it doesn't, do be sure to read the mod's page on the Resource Manager - in particular you've chosen one that has a lot to read through, so be sure to read - there's a decent amount of stuff of value there for installation.

I understand what you're trying to say, but there are other things I don't think I'm fully aware of.
For example: Should the mod file or folder be in syb_patches or syb_default?
In mod.txt, should I integrate the mod along with the folder (syb_patches/syb_default), that is, access it like "sby_patches/bodymodpatchV3/bodymodpatchV3.swf"
"sby_default/maxframerateV1/maxframerateV1.swf".
I think it's clear that I still don't understand how to use mods without loading them into the already-launched game.

The mod file itself can be ANYWHERE inside $INIT$. The listing for it should reflect its position within that folder. If it's in a sub-folder, like sby_default, you'd have the folder before it like in a standard folder address.
For reference:
File directly inside $INIT$ --> entry is <filename>.<extension> e.g. armOverhaulV1.swf
File inside a subfolder in $INIT$ --> entry is <path to where file is>/<filename>.<extension> e.g. sby_patches/bodymodpatchV3/bodymodpatchV3.swf (the file is inside the bodymodpatchV3 folder inside sby_patches, so both must be included in the path with a / between each one because that's how basic file pathing works on operating systems).

Bueno, tomé la ruta del archivo del mod y la integré en el archivo txt en su lugar, y no se ejecuta al iniciar el juego ni al activarlo en el cargador de mods. ¿Es correcto el mod? Me refiero al mod "armOverhaulV1.swf". No sé si lo estoy instalando mal o si el mod en sí tiene algún problema que le impide ejecutarse.

ArmOverhaul is a VERY temperamental mod from my experience. You need to read over the instructions on the mod page and follow them precisely to ensure it properly loads.

ArmOverhaul es un mod MUY temperamental según mi experiencia. Es necesario leer las instrucciones de la página del mod y seguirlas al pie de la letra para asegurarse de que se carga correctamente.
(My apologies for speaking in Spanish; my browser's translator must have translated it into my language before sending that message.)
I understand that it should be followed strictly, but I can't help but notice some... inconsistencies. For example, the slashes are tilted in the opposite direction compared to other mods in the txt. Also, the link code doesn't have 'sby_default' like the first one, but rather 'Loader5.45', which it doesn't share with others.
I don't know if I should integrate it like any other mod or really follow it to the letter despite the inconsistencies when comparing it with other mods.

The armOverhaul page hasn't been updated since animtools version 38, clearly. The path is there to tell you where you can find the copy of Animtools Sby's pack is. For the purposes of the Mods.txt file, you should start from where it says sby_default (as the Mods file assumes you are starting from the $INIT$ folder at all times.
When I say to follow it precisely, I mean things like loading order, or having to replace Sby's copy of Animtools v38 with the one YoBoi supplied (though as his page ALSO states this isn't required anymore as of Animtools v39 or newer).
The syntax in the Mods.txt file is what you should follow, with regard to using / instead of \.

I know nothing about the Loader and I barely use it, so I cannot help you much, but I noticed a syntax error (!) in your file:
This backslash should be a normal slash (sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it does)
Also, be very careful with translators, as they sometimes add unwanted punctuation marks or spaces, change case, and replace some characters with others that look similar, which messes up the code.
Always put paths to files as they really are, not something you've copied somewhere else, as your file tree may be different.
