To allow the game to use modified archives, an ASI Loader and the OpenIV.asi need to be installed.
Then, the ASI Manager tool (found in the menu bar under Tools > ASI Manager) needs to be opened. However, as it's necessary to keep copies of archives, the game will need more disc space.Īt first, OpenIV needs to be installed and the location of the game specificed. Since the original archives will not be touched, this approach has the advantage that mods can be removed very easily without needing to create manual backups. If a file exists in the mods folder, OpenIV will make the game use this file rather than the original one.
OpenIV allows the use of a mods folder, where a seperate copy of files is stored that can be edited without having to modify the original files. Modifications like sounds, cars or pedestrians are installed in.
