Is it possible to make some kind of GUI to read that file, select which mods should be on/off, make and save mod presets for fast selection later? Some way to start the game from the GUI would be appreciated. Being able to start the GUI from steam by clicking play on X4 would be extra bonus pointskmunoz wrote: ↑Mon, 7.

Edit: it's in Documents/Egosoft/X4/<profileID?>/content.xml
Completely human readable. A game launcher could read it, modify it based on a selection from a list of presets (or save a preset based on the current state), then save the file and launch the game. I'm fairly sure that's exactly what Paradox does with their launcher. No reason X4 couldn't have something similar (either made by EGO or put together by a modder).
More bonus points if it also automatically changes the save folder under "Documents/Egososft/X4/<profileID>/" to match the save folder for that mod preset. (maybe just a folder save_modpreset1 for each preset and just renaming the chosen one to "save" before starting the game?, would need to check what mod preset the "save" folder belongs to)
