Warning: This mod will not work if placed in your Addons folder like normal mods, it must instead be installed in your base game folder. See installation instructions in the included guide pdf.

How does it work and how do I install it?
Installation is simple. Modding is also simple, but longwinded to explain.

Currently, the mod supports the replacement or extension of the following resource types:

- Legacy items
- Potentially more
