Download: SWG Mod Manager
.Net Framework 3.5 (Required)

Short guide on how to use the SWG Mod Manager with your Emulator.
1. Open SWGModManager.exe (put a shortcut on your desktop, do as you wish)
2. After opening the SWG Mod Manager, a config file called Config.xml is automatically created, this is what we're looking for.
3. To find Config.xml simply put this line in your Windows Explorer bar (on your Desktop hit WINDOWS key + E to bring the Windows Explorer window) and hit ENTER.
(Where username is the username you use with your Windows session, if you have no idea what it is, hit the WINDOWS key and take a look at your Start menu)
4. The Config.xml should be there, now make a shortcut of this config file on your desktop for later use with other Emulators.
5. Open this file, and replace everything with the code below.
Here is how it looks for me.
A really useful Manager that everybody should use, makes everything much simpler.

I've been working on a mod manager for SWG, which still is in beta. For everyone interested in trying this out, the download link is below.
This application uses the .net framework version 3.5, if you do not have this installed the application will not work, the download link is below.
The current features listed:
* Easily adding mods to your game
* Removing added mods easily
* Enable/Disable added mods - Disabling temporarily removes a mod from the game, and allows for it to be easily enabled again
* No need to touch the SWG directory (Best not to do so!)
* Update checker This means, this program requires an active internet connection for this option. Blocking with firewalls is not suggested.
Known bugs/flaws:
* None - Please report anything you find!
Usage:
The best thing is to remove all your mods from your SWG directory, and re-install them with this utility. Then they will be listed inside the utility and can be managed aswell.
To install a new mod, make a directory anywhere on your computer and name it the name of the mod (e.g. True Black), inside of it put all the folders like you'd normally put them inside of the SWG directory. Now just open up the Mod Manager, and select this folder with the Add Mod button and you're done!

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\swgmodmanager
(Where username is the username you use with your Windows session, if you have no idea what it is, hit the WINDOWS key and take a look at your Start menu)
4. The Config.xml should be there, now make a shortcut of this config file on your desktop for later use with other Emulators.
5. Open this file, and replace everything with the code below.
Add the location of your SWG Emulator directory after <SWGInstallDir><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SWGModTool>
<LastVersion>0.3.3.3</LastVersion>
<SWGInstallDir>LOCATION OF YOUR SWG EMULATOR DIRECTORY</SWGInstallDir>
</SWGModTool>
Here is how it looks for me.
6. Save the changes and close the file., close all the windows and go back to where you extracted SWGModManager.exe, open it, finally you can use the SWG Mod Manager with your SWG Emulator, all you need to do is change your Emulator directory in Config.xml each time you want to use mods with another emulator.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SWGModTool>
<LastVersion>0.3.3.3</LastVersion>
<SWGInstallDir>E:\GAMES\SWGEmu Modded</SWGInstallDir>
</SWGModTool>
