oh, ok, I never understood that.
so in the mods folder(or is it directly into the version folder?), I add a 1.5.2 folder and put the mods in there?(the version name I use is FML1.5.2 so I'd use that instead of just 1.5.2) kk, I'll try that
EDIT: putting a FML1.5.2 folder into my mods/coremods folders didn't work...my 1.5.2 profile loads, and has the 3 forge mods installed, but my other mods aren't active.
EDIT 2: just saw a post about this part, it doesn't read 1.5.2 so the reason adding my folder did nothing is 'cause it's a 1.5 folder...is what I'm guessing, I'm gonna make a 1.6.2 folder, and see if that works, if I'm understanding it right, it should...I think...>.>....
EDIT 3: Ok, I just renamed the installed folder from the launcher('cause that name is long) renamed the files, and edited the ID in the .json file, and made a folder with the same name in the .minecraft/mods/ folder...and it worked fine! when I didn't have my 1.5 mods in there...I have the folder, and the mods for 1.5 go in the mods folder, but I have a mods/FML1.6.2 folder in there, it's still crashing...can I not have a modded 1.5.2 while playing with 1.6? 'cause nothing I do seems to work(and I don't know much about the new launcher, so I'm at my limit on what to do >.<)
