Side Hustle - Gamemode Hub for Schedule I

🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de.

One menu entry for every gamemode. Side Hustle adds a single button to the main menu that lists every installed gamemode mod and launches it straight from the menu - no savegame required. It is the shared hub that gamemode mods plug into.

What it is

Side Hustle is a hub, not a gamemode by itself. On its own it just adds a Side Hustle button to the main menu. Install gamemode mods that build on it and they appear in the list; pick one and it launches immediately in its own self-contained session - gamemodes never load or touch a normal save.

If you installed Side Hustle as a dependency of another mod, there is nothing to do: that mod registers itself and shows up under the Side Hustle entry.

Features

One menu entry for every gamemode - name, description, author and a Singleplayer / Multiplayer badge, launched from the main menu.
No savegame - gamemodes run in their own session and never load or alter your saves.
Singleplayer, host or join - multiplayer gamemodes show a Singleplayer / Host / Join choice with a built-in public server browser (filtered per gamemode; bigger lobbies supported with BiggerLobbies).
World gamemodes - gamemodes that need the loaded game world get a throwaway session, outside your save slots, so your real saves are never touched.
Conflict-free mod sets - a gamemode can declare which mods it works with; Side Hustle launches it in a temporary, isolated profile with only those mods (after a confirmation listing the changes) and switches back to your full set when you leave. Your installed mods are never disabled, renamed or moved, so your mod manager stays in sync. Applying it restarts the game, which Side Hustle does for you.
Load-order independent API so gamemode mods register whether they load before or after the hub.
A single setting to hide the entry without uninstalling.

Requirements

Schedule I (IL2CPP) with MelonLoader 0.7.3+.
S1API (pulled in as a dependency).
Optional: Mod Manager & Phone App for the in-game settings UI.
One or more gamemode mods that use Side Hustle.

Settings

Enabled (default true) - show the Side Hustle menu entry. Editable in the Mod Manager & Phone App UI or UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg under SideHustle_01_Main.
