How to install a mod?
The easiest way is via Life Play Mods Flix (The mods manager)1. Let's say we've downloaded a mod called XY-My-NewMods
2- Right-click on XY-My-NewMods.zip and choose "Extract to "XY-My-NewMods".
3- In a new window, open the XY-My-NewMods folder and check that it does not contain another folder of the same name and that it contains an lpmod or lpaddon file.
For example, it should look like this
c:\..\LifePlay\Content\Modules\XY-My-NewMods
NOT
c:\..\LifePlay\ContentModules\XY-My-NewMods\XY-My-NewMods
4- Next, move or copy/paste the "XY-My-NewMods" folder into the game's "Modules" folder. All other files, such as .gitattributes, LICENSE, README.md or others, are useless.
...LifePlay\Content\Modules\XY-My-NewMods
5- Once the mod has been installed, make sure it is activated in the Mod Manager.
Ctrl + M: Open Mod Manager
6- If you find a bug with the mod you've installed, contact the designer who created it.
7- That's all there is to it! Enjoy the game!
