# DDLC Mod Template Help

## Disclaimer

The Remastered DDLC Mod Template is a Doki Doki Literature Club mod template that is not affiliated in anyway with Team Salvato. It is designed to be used only after the official game has been completed. You can download Doki Doki Literature Club at: http://ddlc.moe or on Steam.

## Installation

The files in this DDLC Mod Template alter Doki Doki Literature Club. You must have an installation of DDLC, which can be downloaded for free from http://ddlc.moe or on Steam.

To install, copy all `.rpa` files into the `game` folder in your DDLC installation folder. This replaces the scripts for the original game. Opening Doki Doki Literature Club will now load with all of the modified files.

### Windows (Steam Release)

If you are running DDLC on Steam, you can access the game files by right-clicking the game in your Library, then selecting `Properties`. In the `Local Files` tab, click the `Browse local files...` button. This will open a window with the game directory.

### macOS (OS X)

Mac users can access the game directory by right-clicking on the DDLC application and selecting `Show Package Contents`. Then, the game directory can be found in `Contents/Resources/autorun`.

## Uninstall

To restore DDLC, please download again from http://ddlc.moe.

## Loading and Deleting Save Data

Some mods may offer the option to load some or all of your data from a previous Doki Doki Literature Club playthrough. If so, that option will be presented on the first load of the game, after the initial content warning and disclaimer.

If you do choose to load previous data, the original Doki Doki Literature Club save data will not be changed.

In some cases, you may want to delete your save data to start the game completely over. To do this, navigate to the `game` folder and delete the file named `firstrun`. The next time you start the game, you will be asked to delete your save data. Select `Yes, delete my existing data.` The game will then start from the beginning.

Deleting save data for a mod will not alter or delete original save data from Doki Doki Literature Club.
