Please do not use macros for this.

Just store it in a local variable.
When using methods to get a value, do not assume the method returns the exact same value each invocation.
Also the method might be costly.

It's best to return failed here. No point continuing with a broken state.
Also this can be done using ERR_FAIL_COND_V_MSG(!game_manager.load_mod_descriptors(), FAILED, "Failed to load mod descriptors!");

I think it could be better to load the base game if mods are broken or unavailable rather than crashing the whole game. Open to doing it either way, that was my thought process.

Same as comment L667, better to return here and use error macro.

If you update the above 2 cases, please also update this for consistency.

| mod_info = GameSingleton.get_mod_info() | ||
| var mod_status_file := ConfigFile.new() | ||
| mod_status_file.load("user://mods.cfg") |

I don't like ModMenu & MainMenu sharing this magic string.
Shouldn't this be part of mod manager or some class?

This file generally feels like a lot of logic and very little UI.
Consider using a cpp class similar to the BudgetMenu to do the logic.
Implements an in game menu that allows for the selection and loading of available mods.
