Can someone explain the mod conflicts

Question

I honestly don't understand what counts as conflicts and how to solve them without lossing a mod, I find it annoying that in order to enjoy certain mods im stuck having to lose all of the older ones that I loved

From what I understand, if one or two mods you got have the same file in one of the folders, it will create a conflict. Be sure that none of the mods you installed have anything conflicting such as ui_chara_db.prc, .msbt, same announcer file, etc.

You can only replace one file, ONE TIME. thats how arc has always worked. In previous versions it would just pick one file to use. They've always conflicted. it would only load one of those files. With file addition, doing it the old method is unsafe/unstable. So you merely have to pick which file you want to have replaced. If you have two mods that replace the same file, figure out which one you want replaced.

The one thing you always have to focus on the most is which slots the mods are on.Each character consists of 8 colors/costumes.So you have to decide which slot your mod goes into. So if a mod says it goes into let's say Zero Suit Samus, c05, then it goes in her 6th costume/color. So if you have another mod that also goes into c05/her 6th costume and color, then it will conflict with it and you'll only have one mod show up unless you change the other mod to a different slot. You'd have to change the folder names that say, in this case, c05 into a different slot you don't mind losing.So change it to like slot c04 (her 5th costume color) so that way you can have two mods on Zero Suit Samus.Or whichever mod you are using.
