So gonna post a modding guide here since people are having some difficulty, and be
warned i might get stuff wrong, but this is how it works for me.
1st rule, some mods do not work with each other
2nd rule, some mods are very outdated and may require a older version of the game to work, so check if the mod was updated for the latest version
might updates rules in the future( i do not plan to
maintain this post sorry).
Mods being used as an example
Lona Big Booba & Ultra Mod Manager
1ST STEP YOUR MOD FOLDER
View attachment 3803023
Red mark (this is the Mod Folder)
FIRST YOU WILL NEED TO OPEN THE FOLDER HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, THIS IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF MODDING TAKES PLACE
THIS IS THE MODSCRIPTS FOLDER, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN HERE BUT DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN IGNORE A GOOD BUNCH OF IT.

The red mark is the _Mods Folder it's where your mods will be installed(most of the time)

STEP 2 HOW TO INSTALL
_________________________________________________________________________________
NOW I WILL SHOW YOU HOW I INSTALLED THEM.
_________________________________________________________________________________
IN THE CASE OF THE UMM(ULTRA MOD MANAGER) MOD
AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE RED LINES THIS MOD HAS TWO FOLDERS MODSCRIPTS & DATA
DATA INTERFERES THE GAME DIRECTLY, MODS THAT HAVE THIS KIND OF FILES DO SOME HARD MODIFICATIONS FOR THE GAME, MODDERS USUALLY AVOID THIS SO TO NOT BREAK THE GAME BUT IN THIS CASE UMM REQUIRES IT) DROP THE TWO FOLDERS DIRECTLY IN THE MAIN FOLDER AND YOU ARE DONE SOME MODS ARE VERY EASY TO INSTALL LIKE THIS, OTHERS NOT)

SOME MODS YOU TO INSTALL DIRECTLY IN THE _MODS FOLDER ITSELF, AS IS THE CASE FOR THE BOOBA MOD
SEE STEP 1 ON HOW TO LOCATE YOUR FOLDER.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
STEP 3 LAUNCHING YOU MOD
THE FILE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED IS THE NYX LAUNCHER YOUR BEST FRIEND IN INSTALLING MODS
View attachment 3803047
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
AS YOU CAN SEE THE LAUNCHER IS QUITE SIMPLE
FOR FRESH INSTALL YOU MAY NOT THAT YOUR GAME PATH IS NOT SET
JUST CLICK THE BAR BELOW THE GAME PATH AND SELECT WHERE YOUR GAME.EXE IS.
AS YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN USE A LOAD ORDER IN YOUR MOD( DO NOT MESS WITH IT UNLESS THE MODS EXPLICITY TELL YOU TO DO IT, IN THE CASE FOR THE ONE WE ARE USING PUT UMM ABOVE BOOBA.
ONCE THAT IS DONE, SIMPLY CLICK THE PLAY BUTTON AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO, BUT WE ARE NOT OVER YET.

ONCE YOU ARE DONE WITH THAT YOU GAME SHOULD LOAD WITH NO PROBLEMS, ONCE IT FINISHES.
MAKE SURE THAT AT THE BOTTOM NEAR THE GAME VERSION TO IF IF YOUR MOD IS LOADED( AS SEEN IN THE RED MARKER)
