2. Open your game install directory:
   • Steam: steamapps/common/ReturnToMoria/Moria/Content/Paks
   • Epic: Epic Games/ReturnToMoria/Moria/Content/Paks
3. Create a folder named ~mods
4. Extract the mod files into ~mods

The folder must be called ~mods exactly, copy and paste the name to avoid typos.
