So I had schematica on my 1.5.2 launcher and now I upgraded to 1.6.2 installed forge and schematica for 1.6.2 The issue is forge comes up as its own profile in version 1.6.2 so I have 3 profiles 1.6.2, 1.5.2, and forge(1.6.2) How do I make a 1.5.2 forge profile on the 1.6.2 launcher
Sadly, you don't. The new launcher changed the way that mods are installed from use of the "bin" folder to the "versions" folder. Unless you still have the old launcher and the old bin folder to install mods the old way, there isn't much to be done.
You will need the old launcher as well, otherwise when you play 1.5 in the new launcher, it'll use the "versions" folder instead, even if you have the old files. Once you have the old launcher and the old "bin" folder you should be able to install mods the way you did before.
I use magic launcher and can play 1.5.2 with mods no problem. Try getting that and using it to install your mods.
