Unless downloaded from the Steam Workshop, mods are placed in the root of the game folder, depending on which type of mod your are making. Each mod should be placed in its own folder within the following folders (Note that these folders might not exist in the first place, so you should create them yourself):

== Localizations ==

All mods can have their own custom localizations defined, to make it easier to translate, or support multiple languages out of the box. Simply add a '''Localization''' folder to the root of your mod's folder, and then put a folder with the name of each language you want to translate to, which should at minimum contain '''English'''. Translations are just a list of [[TyD|TyD]] records, however software types and features are a little more complex, and you should follow the layout in the '''Software.Tyd''' file in the main English localization folder. Your translations will be loaded and used based on the name of the language the player is currently using.

To create a localization you can copy the English folder from the Localization folder and fill in your own text in the appropriate fields. Localization files are written entirely in [[TyD|TyD]], to be easily human readable.

Localizations can also contain '''femalefirstnames.txt''', '''malefirstnames.txt''' and '''lastnames.txt''' files to overwrite the default employee names in the game. These should contain a list of names separated by new lines, ordered by how common the name is.
