============================================================
   AddSon  -  Add cool stuff to your games!
============================================================

HOW TO START
------------
Double-click  "AddSon"  (the file with the AddSon icon).
A friendly window opens. Pick a game. Press "Add a mod".
That's it!

(If double-clicking "AddSon" does nothing, use "Start AddSon.bat" instead.)

WHAT IT DOES
------------
AddSon helps you ADD things to your games - new looks, packs and
items that other people made. It finds the right hidden folder for
each game and puts the mod in the correct place for you.

It will NEVER change your saved games or how you win the game.
It only adds extra things, mostly how stuff LOOKS.

THE GAMES
---------
* Minecraft (Bedrock)  - Add add-ons AND build your own colour pack!
* Cities: Skylines      - Add new buildings, parks and props.
* Spore                 - Add new parts and creations.
* The Planet Crafter    - Add mods (press "Set up modding" once first).
* Subnautica            - Add mods (press "Set up modding" once first).
* Subnautica 2          - Brand new game, modding is still tricky.
* Jurassic World Evolution 2 / 3 - Add dino mods (a grown-up helps set up).

GETTING MODS
------------
AddSon installs mod files you already have. You can get free mods from
safe places like mods.nexusmods.com, with a grown-up's help. Save the
file, then in AddSon press "Add a mod" and pick it.

FOR GROWN-UPS
-------------
* 100% portable. Copy the whole "AddSon" folder to a USB stick and run
  it on any Windows 11 PC. Nothing is installed.
* Built on Windows PowerShell (already on every Windows 11 PC), so it
  works straight away with no setup.
* "Run Self-Test.bat" checks the engine and writes a report to
  data\selftest-results.txt.
* A log of what AddSon did is in data\addson.log.
* Mods that need a "loader" (BepInEx / ACSE) need the internet the first
  time you press "Set up modding". Everything else works offline.

Made for you. Have fun adding stuff!
