***** VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW *****
-----------------------------------------
** INSTALL **
- Always overwrite when prompted
- Use the patch or the main mod mode not both at the same time!
- Use SCRIPT MERGER to merge scripts and bundles with other mods after any installation
- When using either patch, do NOT merge bundles between patch and PN. If you have to merge xml file between those 2 mods and some other mod, merge only PN and that other mod, everything else can be merged.
The reason for this is that PN bundle are originally Original mod xmls merged with PN xmls. So there is no point in merging them. It would only screw things up.
- Open inputs.txt file and follow those instruction (Only do this the first time you install Primal Needs mod, or if i change inputs.txt file)
- Default presets will be loaded automatically after you load the save for the first time after installing.
-----------------------------------------
** UPDATE **
- If updating it's good practice to delete old files - most of the times won't make difference if you just owerwrite, but sometimes it will screw things up
- After updating only new options will be loaded automatically so your configuration will be intact.
-----------------------------------------
** UNINSTALL **
- After Uninstall any version optionally you can remove PN.xml from bin folder and lines you added from inputs.txt
- You can uninstall the mod at any time, no effects will stick to your save. Some data will tho, but they will not affect your game any longer in any way until you reinstall Primal Needs.
-----------------------------------------
** TRANSLATE **
- Check translation file version before the download, if the version matches the latest version of the mod it's all fine, if not you might be missing some text in the menu.
- Translations translate HUD as well, but not HUD messages (for now), it will soon
