4. Check the Enable Loose File Loader option under the LooseFileLoader section.
5. Close the game.
6. Extract the zip file, and copy the natives folder of your choice (from the subfolder of your choice) to your MonsterHunterWilds installation directory, which is located at:

Troubleshooting:
Please note that SFX mods are future-proof unless Capcom removes or adds a new move to a weapon in a manner that disrupts the SFX files' order. In the case of Master Rank, they simply added a new file without editing existing files, which further proves my point that SFX mods are future-proof.
If there's a title update, and you have a problem getting this mod working, please follow the following steps:
1. Uninstall all your mods
2. Install the latest version of REFramework
3. Ensure that the Loose File Loader option is enabled
4. Install back the mods that utilize the natives folder
5. Those mods will work again.
Also note that if you have multiple natives folder mods onto a single weapon (e.g. Heavy Artillery Gunlance mod + M1 Garand Reload mod), only the mod that's applied last will take effect. This is due to the SFX file being a singular ".bnk" file, and each mod replaces the same file.
