How to install them

  1. Get a mod manager. Definitive Mod Manager is a single program with nothing else to install, and a mod page’s manager download button can send mods straight to it.2
  2. Add mods through it. It mounts and unmounts them and keeps a backup, so you can undo anything.2
  3. Check each mod’s requirements. Some, such as LET ME SLEEP, also need the Ultimate ASI Loader.4
