i just turned on mod manager but is this bc of 1.0 or what?

You cant play with mods on 1.0 yet!

If you're trying to launch the game without mods:

1. To manually turn off mods, delete the

   FactoryGame/Mods

   FactoryGame/Mods

   folder from your game install directory manually. Here's how to find the game install directory: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_GameInstall
2. Even after you do this, SMM still won't work, and you will still get the "folder that does not exist" error message! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated.
3. If you have issues launching the game after this, also delete the

   FactoryGame/Plugins

   FactoryGame/Plugins

   folder, then verify your game files to restore it: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_do_i_verify_my_game_files
4. If you're still having issues, post the next error you get!
