The Mod Launcher can be configured in various ways.

Launcher Settings

Additional Mods

Here you can add additional folders to load mods from, as well as individual mods.

For Mods Folders:

• Use the Add... button to browse for a new folder to load mods from.
• Use the Remove button to remove the selected folder you previously added.
• Use the Up and Down buttons to reorder the selected folder in the list.
  • If multiple mods with the same name exist in multiple folders, this will affect which one takes priority.
• Use the Open button to open the selected folder in File Explorer.
• Use the Disabled tick box to disable a folder in the list, without having to remove it entirely.

For Individual Mods:

• Use the Add... button to browse for a mod folder or a LMLM file to add.
• Use the Remove button to remove the selected mod from the list.
• Use the Show button to show the selected mod in File Explorer.

Game Tab

Here you can configure various settings related to the game:

• Executable Path: The path to your installation of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
• Crashes
  • Save Crash Dump: Makes the Mod Launcher save a crash dump when the game crashes.
    • These can occasionally be helpful to us for debugging issues in the Mod Launcher or mods.
    • To open the Crashes folder:
      • Version 1.26.1 and Older: Click the Open... button and select Crashes.
      • Version 1.27 and Newer: Open the File menu and select Crashes.
    • Defaults to Enabled.
  • Terminate on Crash: Makes the Mod Launcher immediately terminate the game if it crashes. Not recommended.
    • Defaults to Disabled.
  • Show Message on Crash: Makes the Mod Launcher show a message when the game crashes containing the memory address where the crash occurred.
    • As of a Windows 10 update released in April 2018, Microsoft removed the message shown when a program crashes.
    • This is helpful for users running newer versions of Windows, making it easy to know where the game crashed.
    • Defaults to Disabled.
• Advanced
  • Always Keep Saved Games Separate: Makes the Mod Launcher use its own separate folder for saved games, even when no Main Mod is enabled.
    • To open the Saved Games folder:
      • Version 1.26.1 and Older: Click the Open... button and select Saved Games.
      • Version 1.27 and Newer: Open the File menu and select Saved Games.
    • Defaults to Disabled.
  • Keep Settings Separate: Makes the game's settings.ini file get stored in a separate location than the game install itself.
    • With this enabled, it will instead be saved to Documents\My Games\Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher\settings.ini.
    • Defaults to Disabled.
  • DPI Aware: Makes the game support different DPI displays on Windows 7 or newer.
    • Defaults to Enabled.
  • Visual Styles: Makes messages shown by the game and hacks support Windows visual styles.
    • Defaults to Enabled.
  • Start in Correct Resolution: Makes the game start in the correct resolution instead of briefly being in 800x600 before switching to the user's resolution.
    • Defaults to Enabled.
  • Limit to Single Core: Limits the game to a single processor core.
    • Defaults to Disabled

Launcher Tab

Here you can configure various settings for the Mod Launcher itself:

• Language: Allows you to choose a language for the Mod Launcher to use on its interface and within certain hacks.
  • Only displayed if additional languages are present in a Languages folder next to the Mod Launcher's executable.
  • See Language Localisation for more details.
  • Defaults to English.
• Check for Updates: Makes the Mod Launcher send a request to Donut Team on startup to check for updates.
  • Defaults to Enabled.
• Donut Team Account Integration Support: Enables Donut Team Account Integration.
  • This setting allows you to disable this feature without needing to log out.
  • Defaults to Enabled.
• Close to Tray: Makes the Mod Launcher close to a tray icon instead of exiting.
  • Defaults to Disabled.
• DPI Aware: Makes the Mod Launcher support different DPI displays on Windows 7 and newer.
  • Defaults to Enabled.
• Warn on Cloud Directories: Makes the Mod Launcher detect if the game is installed within a cloud directory, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud, and show a warning on startup if this is the case.
  • Defaults to Enabled.

Non-mod Hacks Tab

Here you can find a list of all loaded hacks that are not Mod Hacks and therefore not visible in the Mods List.

Storage

By default, the Mod Launcher's settings are stored in the Windows Registry. You can find them at the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lucas Stuff\Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Tools\Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher

Alternatively, an INI file can be used for storing settings by creating one at the following path:

Documents\My Games\Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher\Settings.ini

Lastly, you can also create a portable install by placing a Settings.ini directly next to the Mod Launcher's executable.
