how do I preserve all my mods and CSP settings over to a brand new install of AC?
I was faced with the same question as you, but in the end it was very simple, at least that's how I did it, copy the "AcTools Content Manager" folder under C:\Users\######\AppData\Local in case something goes wrong and make a backup from it and the C:\Users\#######\Documents\Assetto Corsa folder, you never want to lose these folders, believe me.
(I never tried this method) Method 1:
Go to steam > library > assetto corsa > click the little gear on the side > Properties > Installed files > Move install folder, and this will move everything including installed mods. If you are using Content manager you will have to change the directory the next time you start it. It should come up with an error message.
(i took this method):
Transferring mods with copy/paste, but i can take some time to the new SSD/HDD (the whole content directory), then uninstall AC and then have Steam reinstall it to the new SSD/HDD and copy all mods into the new installed game.
Content Manager settings etc. won't be affected since they're in Appdata>Local>AcTools Content Manager, but if you have to reinstall windows you will have to change the directory the next time you start it with the fresh downloaded Content manager and remember to copy your CM backup into C:\Users\######\AppData\Local
In my opinion, the AcTools Content Manager directory is the most important one besides all the mods, all the settings can be found there.
Unfortunately I had to re-compress everything with content manager, that had been compressed, which took a really long time if you have a new HDD/SSD (8 hours+, 3300cars and 160 tracks)
