A mod should be placed in its own folder in the "Mods" folder and can optionally contain each of the following folders: "[[Modding#Company types|CompanyTypes]]", "[[Modding#Name generators|NameGenerators]]" and "[[Modding#Software types|SoftwareTypes]]".

SpecFeatures or Specialization Features are features that map to a specialization (3D, 2D, Audio, etc.), which employees can specialize in. You can only have 1 SpecFeature per specialization, but you don’t need to have one for each specialization. You can make up your own specializations and the game will add them automatically.

SpecFeatures are the foundation that smaller features ([[Modding#SubFeatures|SubFeatures]]) build on. All features have a level which determines employee education requirements. SpecFeatures are level 0, meaning everyone can work on them, but they are not as effective as level 1 or 2 features for satisfying the submarkets.
