Same action can also be achieved while using [[Documentation/Tools/Conversion Tools#Mod Packing|Mod Packing]] with enabled '''Auto Clean''' option. With BT v1.7 conversion tools also support switchable '''Custom Paths'''. Once they are enabled conversion helper panel gets extended as seen on image below. [[File:SCS Tools Conv Hlpr Custom Paths.280.png]]

While mod packing with '''Auto Convert''' already triggers automatic conversion before packing, one can still execute manual conversion. Currently there are three different variations:

* '''Mod Folder Path''' - property holding folder where mod should be placed. On the side of this property you have search icon operator ([[File:SCS_Tools_Conv_Hlpr_Find_Folder.png]]) for auto retrieve of the mod paths for Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator.

Created folder is named the same as ZIP package: by mod name property.* '''Auto ExportZIP (Uncompressed)''' - enable this switch if you want to run automated Blender Tools export. Scope of the content which will be auto exported is defined with Export Scope property in [[Documentation/Tools/SCS Blender Tools/Export Panel|Export Panel]]pack mod into uncompressed ZIP file.* '''Auto ConvertZIP (Moderate)''' - enable this switch if you want for your resources to be converted before packing.
