How to install mods

There are currently two methods of installing mods. One way is through the steam workshop and the other is the manual installation method. To install from the steam workshop, just find the mod on the page you want and then click subscribe. To install Manually, Find the mod on the nexus or another Darkest Dungeon modding site and download the file. Then make sure to put the file into the modded folder. Most mods will provide instructions for installation.
