3. Methods to Identify Bad Mods (Appendix Section)

Binary Search Method

Steps:

1. First, move out the entire mod folder to test if the game runs normally
2. If normal, use binary search: split mods into two halves and test one half
3. Gradually narrow down the scope to find the conflicting mod
4. Note: Do not save the game during this process

Improved Binary Search Method

Method:

1. First manually keep the most wanted mods
2. Move the remaining mods to a new folder
3. Start the game to test
4. If successful, begin binary search troubleshooting
5. Recommend adding prefix tags to tested OK mods
