- If you're using a mod manager, you can still manually place the .ba2 files in the Data folder and edit the INI – just be aware that the mod manager won't handle the INI edit for you.
- Test the mod by loading into a world and checking a loot bag or meat pile – if they don't appear as hearts, double-check that the .ba2 filenames are spelled exactly as in the instructions.
