### *Assuming you know the basic fundamentals of installing Frosty mods, and have it already set up, you can skip this entire text file, otherwise continue reading.*





##### **How to Install:**



&#x20;

1. ###### **Download and install the latest version of Frosty Mod Manager (duh). Extract and open it once you're done.**





**//** A blank menu will show up. This shows the list of games and their directory location **//**







###### 2\. **On the bottom left corner, click scan for games. All of your installed NFS games should appear.**

###### **If nothing shows up, you're gonna wanna start digging for the game you want to install mods for.**

###### 

###### **\[FOR WINDOWS USERS]**



**//** By default, assuming you've bought the game on Steam, your games are usually stored in **Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common**

If you've installed your game through Steam, copy and paste this text in the address bar of File Explorer (leave out quotations):

**"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common"**

**//**





###### **\[FOR LINUX USERS]**



**//** You're stuck with doing this step manually. Usually all of your games are stored on the (Z:) partition, unless specified otherwise. If you're unsure of the location of the game directory, go to Steam, open your Library, and scroll through until you see the game you want to mod. Right click it, click "Manage", and click "Browse local files". Once you find the directory, click "New" in Mod Manager, and look for the executable.



I recommend you install the games through the Documents folder, as finding the game directory will be a LOT easier **//**





**After finding the executable, double click it, and your game should now show up!**







###### **3. If Frosty Mod Manager asks for an "encryption key" after clicking your game, get that first before continuing. Once you get it, copy that key, and paste it in the root of the "FrostyModManager" folder (where the executable is located). Double click your game again. This process is the same if you're using Linux.**





**// The Frosty Mod Manager window should appear once it's done //**







###### **4. We're at the home stretch! Take the .zip file that contains the mod, and unzip it using any application of your choosing. Once it's done, take the .fbmod pack and drag it to the mod window on the left. Alternatively, you can use the "Add Mod(s)" option on the top-left corner just below the "Pack:" drop-down menu. Once your mod is imported, double-click it to apply the mod(s). This next step will depend on your OS of choice.**

###### 

###### **\[FOR WINDOWS USERS]**

Frosty Mod Manager allows you to launch the game with the applied mods by hitting "> Launch" just above the mod list window. Steam will then ask you if you would like to launch the games with the launch parameter, "-dataPath "ModData/(insert pack name)". This is safe. Click "Continue" to launch the game.





###### **\[FOR LINUX USERS]**

Frosty Mod Manager will require you to copy and paste the launch parameters within Steam itself. In the place of "> Launch", there will instead be an "Install Mods" box. Click on that to begin installation. Once it's done, Frosty Mod Manager will automatically copy the launch parameters onto your clipboard. To launch your game with the mods applied:



**> Open Steam**

**> Navigate to Library**

**> Scroll down until you see the game of your choosing**

**> Right click said game**

**> A pop-up menu will appear. Select "Properties"**

**> You should now see a text box with the header labeled, "LAUNCH OPTIONS"**

**> Click on the text box, and paste the automatically applied parameters by either right-clicking and pasting the command, or using CTRL+V**

**> Close the menu**

**> Launch your game**



That's it! You're all done! Now have fun with your newly installed mod packs!







##### **(OPTIONAL STEPS)**



As discussed in the Linux instructions, it is possible to launch your game without actually needing to rely on the Frosty Mod Manager application. Mod Manager solely exists to configure, add, or remove mods. Below are the steps to launch your mods without Mod Manager.



**> Copy this string: -dataPath "ModData/Default"**

**> Open Steam**

**> Navigate to Library**

**> Scroll down until you see the game of your choosing**

**> Right click said game**

**> A pop-up menu will appear. Select "Properties"**

**> You should now see a text box with the header labeled, "LAUNCH OPTIONS"**

**> Click on the text box, and paste the launch parameters by either right-clicking and pasting the command, or using CTRL+V**

**> Close the menu**

**> Launch your game**



**The game should now open with your mods applied. If not, make sure your mods are applied and are active by clicking the checkbox next to the mod name.**
