So, i'm kinda retarded, and been trying to figure out how to use your tool for a while, managed to do the pip install, but doing the "Usage" step it gives this. i'm assuming it failed. if you could help. appreciate it

Could you check your downloadPath in the config?
If your path contains singular backslashes, try doubling them up.

# Example of before
C:\some\path\to\directory

# Example of after
C:\\some\\path\\to\\directory

Hey, thanks for replying. I followed your advice and it worked but it seems it got stuck in the "starting download" i let it run for 5 minutes and nothing changed

And nothing showed up in the download directory either.

I have noticed that the "TheSimsResource" site now has basically 2 downloads timers, first a 14 second one and then a 4 second one, i don't know if that changed affected your tool.

Tested it out on my end, and it works, I discovered it freezes up like that if the downloadPath does not exist.
Looking at your downloadPath you have a ./ before the directory.

Corrected config file:

{
	"downloadDirectory": "D:\\Sims4Mods",
	"maxDownloads": 5
}

I tested it, you where correct, the ./ was the issue. it downloaded now. Thank you. Very useful tool you have here. Keep up the great work and thank you for the help. have a nice day
