Package version info is a unit containing workshop mod package information, such as the name of the folder or archive with content and the array of compatible game versions. It is used in each workshop mod's versions.sii.

Special Case: Universal Version

Each workshop mod's versions.sii file may have a single package version info without any defined compatible_versions, called the “universal version.” The associated package will be used for all game versions that are not defined by another package version info unit inside the versions.sii file.

Attributes

Name Type Required/Optional Description
package_name string Required The name of the folder or archive with the version-specific mod content. For zip archives, package_name is just the file name without the extension.
compatible_versions string array Optional The array containg set of versions that are compatible with this version definition. If not specified this package will be used for all of the game versions not explicitly defined for other packages.
Important: Each workshop mod's versions.sii can only contain one `package_version_info` unit without this parameter specified.
informational bool Optional When true, indicates that the package contains information only. If unspecified, defaults to false.
