+=== Installing mods with the graphic pack menu ===
+Cemu uses "graphic packs" to install mods without overwriting any of the base files, allowing you to easily install or uninstall mods without leaving any trace.
+Graphic packs are installed by placing the unzipped folder in <code>Cemu/graphicPacks/</code>. Note that most newer mods will come packaged as a graphic pack, or have a graphic pack option.
-# Create a new folder inside <code>Cemu/graphicPack/</code> named after the mod you want to use.
+To check that the mod is a graphic pack, open the mod folder within <code>Cemu/graphicPacks/</code>. A graphic pack will have a file called <code>rules.txt</code> next to the <code>content</code> and/or <code>aoc</code> folder.
+If a mod is not packaged as a graphic pack you will have to package it yourself, otherwise skip to the end of this section. This method works for versions of Cemu 1.15.1+
+# Create a new folder inside <code>Cemu/graphicPacks/</code> named after the mod you want to use.
 # Inside that folder, create a folder named <code>content</code>. Your mod files will go in here. (Mods will often include a <code>content</code> folder already to make things clear.)
-# Create a file named <code>rules.txt</code> next to the <code>content</code> folder (if the downloaded mod doesn't already include one). Inside it goes:
+# Create a file named <code>rules.txt</code> next to the <code>content</code> folder (if the downloaded mod doesn't already include one). Use this example as a template:

   titleIds = 00050000101C9300,00050000101C9400,00050000101C9500
-  name = Mod Name
+  name = <Mod Name>
-  path = "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Game Mods/Mod Packs/Mod Name"
+  path = "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Mods/<Mod Name>"
-  description = Mod description here.
+  description = <Mod description here>
   version = 3
   fsPriority = 100
 <code>version</code> must be set to 3 to work correctly. <code>fsPriority</code> determines the order in which mods are prioritized - higher numbers prioritize that mod's files over other mods. Mods without an <code>fsPriority</code> entry specified will default to 100.
-Once a mod has been added, simply enable it from Cemu's graphic pack menu to use it. Note that most mods should not be enabled or disabled while the game is running.
