So, I'm following this guide to the letter. But, I'm curious about a few comments in the 'additional mods' comments section. In the 'better knowledge networks' mods comments, people were claiming bug issues when using the "electronics2.package" and seemed to resolve it by instead using the other file included in that download. Specifically, the electronics1.package. However, the mod authors details suggest the 2nd package is to be used IF you also have installed Nikola's 'Upgraded' processor factory and Consumer electronics factory. Since the 2020 Mod Collection DOES include those, I would assume I need to use "electronics2.package" and not the first one. I'm wondering... did those people just not have those upgraded factories which led to their issue? Or, should I swap it out with the first one cuz #2 will cause me a bug issue? In the 'No cars for students' mod comments, the last reply was about the naming of the mod causing possible conflicts... quoted Hi for some reason my game crashes after a few seconds of running when I run this mod. I've even tried renaming the mod to "00studentsnodrive.package" as the current name would go against mod load order rules. end quote. So, now I'm wondering... should we be adding in some numbers to the beginning of the file names for these 'additional mods' in order to ensure they receive a specific load order? Or, maybe that person was just trying to use a conflicting mod? Thanks for taking the time to create this posting btw. It's a good refresher about adding mods to the game--which I replay once in a while. And, having a single mod package to download--revised--for the current state of the game makes it much simpler. Thank you. Edit: So, another issue I'm seeing is; without the 3k extended boundary mod, some of these other mods are seemingly useless--mainly the 'Regional' stuff. Or, maybe I'm just not sure how to do anything outside the city boundary--where the 'Regional' connections would be useful? I also can't find what this one particular mod package is for: "004_GAMEPLAY_EXTENSION-OFFLINE_DLC_OBJECTS_SUGC_TEAM1_20140716_1_0_OmegaPipeLineRegional.package" I've searched every mod on the site and can't find a match for this file. If anyone knows, maybe chime in here please.

I'm not sure if some people's ban situation was due to this but, there has been a hacker on the Simptropolis site in the past. I paid for some security services which listed this site as having been hacked. Also, my profile data and login credentials (along with a lot of other members) was collected and distributed / sold to other hackers (or, interested parties) on the dark web. It's been quite some time ago that this happened and the security service (along with my own due diligence) resolved this security breach for me. I made sure to change up all my login credentials of course. I thought I should mention this for anyone who hasn't changed up their login credentials in a long time. They probably should.
