Whew. So fair point on all of it (and thank you). The SD2DX version I am using is from the original post of this thread (V2) and I was trying to add in the V1792, which after copying into "Mods" folder in my steam common directory it says "Error: Failed to load modinfo: patchV1792". I think I'm mostly confused as the first mod I did for this game (Navezhattan) was simply a drag and drop as it only tinkers with prefabs and the generic Navezgane map.
But what I'm getting from you as of this point is that I need the new version of SD2DX (V3?) and instead od a "Mods" folder in my directory I instead make "SD2DXMods".
My question right now, is that I should copy the root directory folder <mod_name> into the "SD2DXMods" folder not each folder within ro extracted <mod_name> folder, correct?
