I actually figured it out!!! 😅 Right after sending that, I'm a fucking idiot..... Lol every time I would start the game back up I would stupidly go into the downloads hub from the main menu and I kept updating the mod not realizing that every single time I did that modgub was technically "fixing" the mod back to the original creators specs. I noticed that fs22. Mod assistant still registered it as a working mod with no errors so I started a game and sure as shit the changes I made were working 😅 sometimes I just wanna punch myself in the throat lol
