..warning::
Most mods can still be installed into the root OpenMW data folder, but this is not recommended.
To install mods via this new feature:
#. Open ``openmw.cfg`` with your preffered text editor. It is located as described in :doc:`paths` and *not* in your OpenMW root directory.
#. Open ``openmw.cfg`` with your preferred text editor. It is located as described in :doc:`paths` and *not* in your OpenMW root directory.
#. Find or search for ``data=``. This is located very near the bottom of the file.
#. Add a new line below this line and make a new entry of the format ``data="path/to/your/mod"``
#. Make as many of these entries as you need for each mod folder you want to include.
