<h3>Root Mods</h3>
The following mods are special because they need to be installed directly into the game's <b>Root</b> folder, <strong>not through Mod Organizer 2</strong>.
<br>
Use the <strong>Manual Download</strong> and follow the instructions provided for each mod.
<br>
<br>
Failing to install these mods correctly will result in issues.

Select one of the following patchers based on your game version.

In this step we will take advantage of JIP LN NVSE's FalloutCustom.ini feature to improve performance and stability without affecting the main INIs.

<li>Select the <strong>FalloutCustom.ini</strong> tab, which should be blank. In case it's not, clear the file.</li>

If you don't see the <b>FalloutCustom.ini</b> tab, then you have not enabled <strong>profile-specific Game INI Files</strong> in <b>Profile settings</b> during <a href="./mo2.html#configuration">MO2's configuration</a>.

It is highly recommended to <strong>avoid changing any other INI settings</strong> not in the guide, and to avoid using tools like BethINI.
You will realistically not need any other tweaks than the ones already in the guide.
