You can do

if GLOBAL.KnownModIndex:IsModEnabled("somemod") or GLOBAL.KnownModIndex:IsModForceEnabled("somemod") then    print "active!"end

however the "somemod" above is the mod's directory name, so in particular that won't do any good if the mod was installed through the Workshop. I think the best approach is to get the list of all mods which are enabled/force enabled (which is returned as a list of mod directory names), and for each of those check that mod's modinfo for its "human readable name", e.g.

for _, moddir in ipairs( GLOBAL.KnownModIndex:GetModsToLoad() ) do    if GLOBAL.KnownModIndex:GetModInfo(moddir).name == "somemod" then        print "active!"    endend

Thanks for the quick response buddy, I'll give it a try.
