📋 About This Mod
Allows you to drag-and-drop mods into the game install directory like in Monster Hunter: World.
By giving priority to the files in the NativeS folder before the .pak files, there is no need to invalidate entries in the .pak with a mod manager.
Allows for swapping file locations/names and in-game updates to file changes without the need to restart the game or use a mod manager to de-archive the files in the .pak.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Install REFramework >>>> (https://github.com/praydog/REFramework)
- Once REFramework is installed, drop FirstNatives.dll into "...\MonsterHunterRise\reframework\plugins"

💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod in your 7 Days to Die Mods folder (usually %AppData%/7DaysToDie/Mods) to ensure it loads correctly.
- If you're using mods that rely on natives folder, make sure your custom files are in the correct subfolder structure (e.g., Config, Items, etc.) to match the game's expected paths.
- Check the mod's compatibility with your game version — since it's from 2023, test with your current build to ensure it still works.
