<h3>Installing VC++ Redistributables</h3>
Most engine mods and tools require latest Visual C++ Redistributables to be installed. We will use an all-in-one package that will install all possible versions.

Failure to have latest versions installed will result in an immediate crash when launching the game or modding tools.

Please install the redistributables even if you have them installed already, as they are often outdated.

<h3>Enabling File Extensions</h3>
Before we start, it is important to enable file extensions in Windows.
By default, File Explorer will not show file extensions (such as .exe, .dll, or .esp). These extensions are very important when going through the guide and generally useful to you, the reader, so it is <strong>highly recommended</strong> to enable visible file extensions.
