In plain English

This repository is the official mod index for Paralives, a life simulation game on Steam. It powers the 6ix Plugin Hub, which is an in-game screen where players can browse, install, and toggle community mods without manually copying files into game folders. Once installed, the Plugin Hub checks for updates on every game launch and applies them automatically. Installation requires downloading a zip file from the releases page, extracting it into the Paralives game folder, and launching the game. The zip includes BepInEx, which is a standard mod-loading framework for Unity games, along with the Plugin Hub itself and a stats overlay tool. On Linux and Steam Deck, one additional step is needed: a launch option tells the Proton compatibility layer to use the mod loader's version of a system file instead of its own. The index currently lists four mods. The Plugin Hub manages and updates all other mods. The Stats Overlay adds an in-game panel showing frame rate, CPU times, draw calls, and similar performance information, toggled with F3. The Menu FPS Limiter reduces how fast the game renders in the main menu to stop the GPU from running at full speed while sitting idle. Not Enough Workshop Mods fixes a bug in the game where subscribing to more than 50 mods through Steam Workshop causes earlier mods to be deleted from your computer on launch. Mod downloads are verified against SHA256 hashes stored in the manifest before anything is written to disk. The Plugin Hub only connects to GitHub to fetch the manifest and the files you choose to install. No analytics or background connections are involved. Developers can add their own mods by submitting a pull request with the compiled plugin file, a README, and a new entry in manifest.json. The project is MIT licensed.
