    Sorry for the stupid question, but I went kinda impulsive with the pluginupdater and installed too many. How do I remove a "game" from the manager or do I need to reinstall everything?

    You can remove them from this path when SimTools is shut down.
    "C:\Users\(your user folder)\AppData\Local\SimTools\GamePlugins"
    (AppData is a hidden folder btw)

    Guys, I tried to remove some plugins this way, but now the GameManager crashes when starting. Seems to be an index problem, Putting the dlls back into the plugin folder solves the crash.
    Any idea what todo ?

    I have a somewhat related issue:
    When I install a plugin it shows up in C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\SimTools\GamePlugins :) However, I cannot update it to a newer version. When I drag a new plugin .zip onto the Plugin Updater I get a message that is was "installed successfully", but the .dll in C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\SimTools\GamePlugins is still the old one.

    Deleting the .dll manually works fine and allows new .dlls to be installed. Not sure if I am doing something wrong here, but so far I would recommend deleting the plugin.dll from that folder before installing a new version.

    Cheers, Dirty :)
