-*An '''installer''' to find and install those mods

-*Some '''tweaks''' to the game
+*;A mod installer
-*The latest '''patches''' to the game application
+:that browses the {{OMD}} and allows you to selectively install only the mods that you want.
-*Some of our '''modding tools'''
+*;Core fixes to the game data
+:installed automatically to correct menu and cutscene glitches.
+*;Patches for the game application
+:to correct bugs and add some new features, as well as unlock [[Developer Mode]].
+*;Modding tools
+:used for exporting/importing and intelligently patching game data.
