New Update:
====================================================================================
This update fixes a bug where a patch mod was being installed as both a patch mod and a logic mod. As a result, a `/mods` folder would be created inside your `LogicMods` folder, containing the patch mod.
If you have used this mod previously, please check the following directory:
`...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Drug Dealer Simulator 2\DrugDealerSimulator2\Content\Paks\LogicMods\`
Make sure there isn’t a `/mods` folder inside. If you find one, simply delete it.
