= | {{warning|text=Running homebrew on your console may lead to it getting banned from Nintendo's online services (including eShop and game updates). | ||
However, this risk is very minimal as long as you are sensible and only use a safe, sane CFW (Atmosphère) and mods on offline games (don't install NSPs or pirate games!) as Atmosphère does not leave any trace on the system and disables some system telemetry. | |||
If you are paranoid, turn on Airplane Mode ''before running homebrew for the first time'', then make a full system backup, and always stay offline until you restore that clean backup.}} | |||

=== Installing mods === | |||
# In the root of your MicroSD card, there should be a folder named <code>atmosphere</code>, <code>sxos</code>, or <code>reinx</code>, depending on which CFW you are using. | |||
# Within that folder, there should be a folder named <code>titles</code>. Inside that, create a folder with the name of your game's Title ID. For BotW on Switch, the Title ID is <code>01007EF00011E000</code>. | |||
# Inside that, make a folder called <code>romfs</code>. Your mod files will go in here. (Mods will often include all or part of this folder structure already, to make things easy.) | |||
To use the mod, simply boot the console into CFW, then boot the game, and the mod will be active. | |||
