The bench procedure
Back up the file, drop it in, test on a clean save
01Back up the file
02Drop it in
03Test on a clean save
Every walkthrough here runs in that order. We name the file you are about to overwrite before anything replaces it, give the folder path as it really reads on your platform, and describe what the screen should look like when the mod loaded. When a mod is more trouble than it is worth, we say so instead of padding the page.
Kept and corrected as the games change.
