Thanks for downloading my weapon mod!

For the manual installation:

- open the downloaded name_MOD_FOLDER
- copy both the Textures folder and the meshes folder
- locate and open up you Skyrim Special Edition folder in File Explorer (wherever that location might be)
- open the Data folder that is located in the Skyrim Special Edition folder
- paste the Textures folder and the meshes folder into the Data folder
*note this should auto merge the folders and take care of it. If not, then... (starting at open name_MOD_FOLDER)*
- open up the Textures folder in the name_MOD_FOLDER
- open the weapons folder
- copy the HMGS folder that is inside
- locate your Skyrim Special Edition folder in File Explorer
- open the Data folder in the Skyrim Special Edition folder
- open the Textures folder
- open the weapons folder
- paste the previously copied HMGS folder from the name_MOD_FOLDER->Textures->weapons folder into the Skyrim Special Edition->Data->Textures->weapons folder
- now, go back back to the name_MOD_FOLDER
- open the meshes folder in the name_MOD_FOLDER
- open the weapons folder
- copy the HMGS folder that is inside
- go back to your Skyrim Special Edition folder
- open the Data folder in the Skyrim Special Edition folder
- open the meshes folder
- open the weapons folder
- paste the previously copied HMGS folder from the name_MOD_FOLDER->meshes->weapons folder into the Skyrim Special Edition->Data->meshes->weapons folder

- now go back and open the name_MOD_FOLDER again
- copy the HMGS.esp file
- open your Skyrim Special Edition folder
- open the Data folder in the Skyrim Special Edition folder
- paste the HMGS.esp file into the Data folder

- open your Mod Manager of choice (I recommend NMM or -> Vortex <-)
- go to wherever your Mod Manager has your plug-ins at
- activate/check/enable/shoot the HMGS plug-in
- and done

That should be everything for the install.
