--If you have the Steam Version, your game is automatically installed as the 1.0.7.0 Version (EFLC 1.1.2.0),

--There are two popular and recommended methods to setting your game up to be moddable
There are pros and cons depending on your system and mods configuration,
so keep that in mind and always have a backup and possibly a second backup.
These pros and cons include FPS, stability, feature increases/decreases
1. Fully Updated to version 1.0.7.0 (EFLC 1.1.2.0)
This version is less compatible with the majority of mods that have not
been updatedby their creators, but is generally most stable, full featured
and optimized (again, sort of speculative)

--Regardless of version, it is recommended to download and extract the latest Scripthook dll files
and a modified filelist.bak. The new filelist.bak enables the game to use modified game files.
*******Only use ONE of either YASSIL OR Aru's Scripthook OR XLiveless, NOT ALL THREE*******
But you must use .Net Scripthook and Modified filelist.bak
*Aru's C++ Scripthook: [
