Mod only apply to a specific loaded game

[hello_raine]

It would be great if players could play mod and unmodded game without having to remove/add them everytime they want to play that specific loaded game.
I have a loaded game that doesn't have mod, there are times when I feel like playing a modded game but I can't because I don't want the mod to be also applied on my unmodded loaded game.

There are mod arrangers for that, but I'm using a system that is a bit clumsy, but works. The game uses mods that are in the folder "Mods". Well. Just rename the folder and those mods are not used (if you don't have any mods for the current run, SMAPI makes an empty mod folder but that's not a big deal.) Can be used to have several different saves with different sets of mods.
Just rename the Mod folder so you remember what they point to. Like "Mods_Lisa" for a game with you character named Lisa or "Mods_OrchardHill" for a game with the farm name Orchard Hill.

If I were you, I'd start launching the game through a mod organizer like MO2, or have a couple folders filled with mod lists that you could swap out easily.
