Now, you should have a folder containing a few things:

  • A folder named DLLs: This folder contains DLLs and other files used by the Mod Launcher.
    • Unless explicitly instructed to do so by Donut Team, you should avoid making changes to the contents of this folder.
  • A folder named Mods: This is one of several places where you can install mods for the Mod Launcher. There are also a few small mods included in this folder.
  • Lucas Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher.exe: This is, of course, the actual launcher itself.
  • Lucas Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher.exe.config: This is a .NET configuration file for the Mod Launcher's executable.

4: First Time Setup
