HOW TO INSTALL BEPINEX
====================================================================================================================Step 1: Locate Your Game in Steam
===================================================
Open the Steam application on your computer.
In the Steam Library, you'll see a list of your installed games. Find the game you want to mod with BepInEx.
Right-click on the name of the game.
From the context menu that appears, select "Manage."
In the "Manage" submenu, choose "Browse Local Files." This action will open the folder containing your game's main executable file (the .exe file).
====================================================================================================================
Step 2: Extract BepInEx Files
===================================================
Download the BepInEx_UnityIL2CPP_x64_6.0.0-pre.1 archive from the official GitHub releases page. https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases/download/v6.0.0-pre.1/BepInEx_UnityIL2CPP_x64_6.0.0-pre.1.zip
Once the download is complete, locate the BepInEx archive file.
Right-click on the BepInEx archive file and select "Extract All."
Choose a location on your computer to extract the files. It's best to extract them directly to your game's folder for convenience.
Click "Extract." This will unpack the BepInEx files and create a folder named "BepInEx" containing various files and subfolders.
====================================================================================================================
Step 3: Copy Files to Your Game Folder
===================================================
If you did not extract the files to your game folder.
Open the folder that was created after extraction.
Inside that folder, you will see several files and subfolders.
Select all the files and folders in that" directory (you can click and drag your mouse to select them all).
Right-click on the selected items and choose "Copy" from the context menu, or simply press Ctrl+C.
Return to the folder you opened earlier using Steam's "Browse Local Files" option. This is the folder where your game's main .exe file is located.
Right-click inside the game's folder and select "Paste" from the context menu, or press Ctrl+V. This action will copy the BepInEx files and folders into your game's directory.
If installed correctly, you should have something like this: G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\[Your Game Folder]\BepInEx\pluginsThe drive letter will obviously be whatever drive you installed the game on.
====================================================================================================================
Step 4: Install Plugins (Optional)
===================================================
BepInEx supports various plugins that can enhance your game. To install plugins:
Download the plugin(s) you want from trusted sources. These plugins usually come in .dll format.
Copy the downloaded .dll file(s) to your computer.
Open the "BepInEx" folder inside your game's directory.
Inside the "BepInEx" folder, you'll find a subfolder called "plugins." Paste the copied .dll files into this "plugins" folder.
====================================================================================================================
