  7. To install SDK mods, navigate back to the sdk_mods folder you extracted during step 4. SDK mods come in two forms:

    • .sdkmod files can be dropped directly into this folder.

    • .zip files contain an inner folder you need to extract, in a similar manner to how you extracted the sdk.

      Make sure that when you extract you don’t accidentally create two nested folders, this will not work.
