BulkFileReplace vs a mod manager
They do different jobs. Many modders use both.
Use a mod manager when
Your game has good mod manager support. Tools like Vortex and Mod Organizer 2 manage load order, conflicts between mods, profiles, and switching mods on and off. Some keep mods out of the game folder entirely. BulkFileReplace doesn't do any of that.
Use BulkFileReplace when
- The mod says "copy these files into your game folder".
- Your game or tool isn't supported by a mod manager.
- You're on Linux or Steam Deck and want Windows-made mods to land in the right folders, whatever their casing.
- You want a clean, one-click undo of a manual install.
