Brilliant work. Love this Mod. Brings VR and cloudscapes to the BoB era, while we wait (very, very) patiently for CloD to get there.

Here an Overview:
In general the typical "main folder" for mods is the data folder.
For each JSGME compatible mod just have a look inside and you will see where it will be installed.
Small hint for installation of complex mods with JSGME: while installing / deinstalling do not have File Explorers open inside the /data folder

[taffy2]

Thanks for that info, very helpful

Cheers
