So, it works in just a regular folder? You can see your mod in game without it having to be zipped, correct?

Make sure your modDesc is version 62, then zip it, slap it into your mods folder, call it a day.

If it still shows it is unable to read modDesc, then you could try a different description, or use a modDesc from another mod, just rename and make sure the path for your CRYSTAL_HD (.xml) is correctly formatted.

Hey Tony. The mod seems to be in order, no issues. It loads just fine for me and the log is error free. I was able to purchase and drive it with no issues.

It looks like a filepath issue. The game is looking to CRYSTAL_HD for the modDesc, but the mod itself is contained within cystal.zip. It looks like you are still referencing that directory somewhere. You have completely removed CRYSTAL_HD from your mods folder leaving just the zip file?
