Upon updating, I found that the checkboxes to enable mods were gone, I had heard before hand from Rosabelle that setting "UseLegacyLoading" to false fixes the issue beforehand.

I went to do so and, I can confirm it does not at least not with the new mod page I had to use the classic mod page to enable them.

I told her, that her fix didn't work and she had no idea how to help me.

I was lucky though, as most of the old files were kept when updating, this doesn't seem to be the case for those downloading it for the first time though.

This is because the "activemods.json" file which should look like this:
{ "ActiveMods": [ _Active Mods Here_ ], "UseLegacyLoading": false }

Instead is replaced with just the word null restoring the above and setting legacy loading to false won't give them the checkboxes to enable or disable mods, as a result all mods downloaded are on all at once.

This 9 times out of 10 causes Mod Clash and breaks the game due to all the clashing mods, so basically new users simply can't use mods, and experienced users have their own issues with it thusly no idea how to help new users fix the issues.

Besides that what helped me get the checkboxes was uninstalling and reinstalling, I however have told others (users new to the Mod Loader) to do the same only for them to get the same result:

Mods Loaded, but no way to disable them, and all on at once. I had to basically reccomend both users use the old Mod Loader Version on GameBanana as it's more stable than the latest release.

Honestly, until these Issues are Ironed out I'd like to suggest that you tell others (especially for new users of the manager) to use the old version as it's more stable.

I thank you for your time and hard work, keep it up! - NickyFan7 (Kame)

OK, with the latest commit, I've COMPLETELY removed the internal use of legacy loading on the code side, which was causing some controls to act differently, and have added an override if the UseLegacyLoading boolean for whatever reason is still enabled to fix possible/existing issues with other users. I'll be able to close this issue as soon as I validate if it still exists.
