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.

Setup
====================================================================================


1. Download `Huslaa's DDS2 Mod Installer.zip`

2. Download all the Blueprint and Patch mods you want to install.
- Open each downloaded zip file and extract/move the mod folder to the Mod Installer folder (`Huslaa's DDS2 Mod Installer`).

- Patch mods can go directly into "Huslaa's DDS2 Mod Installer" or be placed in "Huslaa's DDS2 Mod Installer\Mods."
- Patch mod files should be placed directly into either of those folders (no modname folder is needed).

3. Run `Huslaa's DDS2 Mod Installer.bat`.
