Yes you just need to add the correct lines to the config

it requires manual editing

Does this mod save the last known SW options automatically in an .ini file? Or does it require manual editing?

Is there a mod for LWOTC with a Specialization Roulette option like the RPGO mod?

Could LWOTC support be added to this? Much appreciated.

@starkiller239 it's super usefull as you restart the game for the Nth time to test the modpack

@starkiller239 So for me, this is a great template if you want to place this in a mod collection for others to download. Theres two locations of mod configurations you have to go through, the Options Mod Settings as well as New Game Advanced options location. It can be a 1 minute annoyance to have to look up a screenshot of a configuration, especially doing the RPGO where you have sliders and several sets of nuimbers you can adjust. So enabling some of these will help with the Plug N play.

Hot take but over the years my gaming friends if i share something for them to play, and if i told them you have to click the settings and do this and that, just even 1 adjustment makes them feel discouraged for some reason like your cheating or doing something weird. So something that feels out of the box just click subscribe, click play, click new game feels "official" i dunno. *shrug*
