How to change game version in SMM?
I have different versions here and there and can't install mods. After reinstalling the game and SMM did not go away.

If someone is as dumb as me, you need to delete the folder ...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Satisfactory, because steam does not delete it completely and download it again.

What do you mean by "different versions here and there"?
In SMMdebug it says that I have 273254 version and because of this I get errors when installing mods, but in fact the version is 385279.
For example, when I try to install the latest version of fashion I get this error:
Make sure you updated the game before launching SMM. If your game is up to date, you have both U8 and 1.0 installed in the same folder at once, and SMM is detecting the U8 version.
To fix this, uninstall the game, delete the game install dir if it still exists (this is NOT the AppData folder, but the location where you installed the game), then reinstall the game, and reopen SMM.
If reinstalling the game takes too long for you, a quicker fix is to delete the
<game install dir>\Engine\Binaries\Win64\FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.version
file, though this is not meant to be a permanent solution, as having the game installed twice in the same directory can cause issues later.
