What it is

Side Hustle is a hub, not a gamemode by itself. It opens beside the vanilla main menu, so Continue stays one click away. 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.

New in 3.0: the hub

• One page beside the vanilla menu. Your last gamemode with Host again, public co-op for your own save, every

gamemode with its actions, and a Lobbies tab, all on one screen over its own 3D scene.

• Fewer clicks. Host again and Host with defaults skip the form, a solo gamemode starts with one click, and

after a session the hub opens on that gamemode for a rematch.

• One lobby board for every gamemode and vanilla co-op: search, filters, seats and what happens before you join.
• A live status for every launch: each step from lobby found to loading the world, with Cancel and the reason

when something fails.

New in 2.0

• Mod Profiles - an in-game mod manager. Separate sets of mods you switch between; the game restarts into the

one you pick. Build one from the mods you already have installed. Your real Mods folder is never managed, so r2modman and friends keep working - and in this build they are also how mods get installed in the first place.

• Vanilla co-op with mod sync - host your normal savegame as a public lobby. A joiner's mods are compared to

yours and turned into a checklist with a direct link for each one. You download them, Side Hustle picks each file up from your Downloads folder, verifies its hash and installs it into the profile. Mods are never sent between players. This build downloads nothing itself - Thunderstore does not allow a package to fetch executable code, so installing is your mod manager's job here and Side Hustle does the matching and the profile work around it.

• Join a gamemode you don't have installed - a public gamemode lobby lists what it needs. Pick "Join (installs

the mods)", choose a session, and Side Hustle installs it, restarts and joins that lobby.

• Lobby browser on the web - see every open public lobby at SideHustle.doodesch.de without starting the game.
• Lobby chat on the phone - through WhatsDab, which comes with this mod: group and one-to-one threads, unread badges, notifications.
