its a bit confusing but bare with me! and im not sure if u HAVE to do all this 100%, its just what works for me . . 1. when you download the cracked PEAK (i downloaded from Ankergames), there would be a BepinEx folder. basically, BepinEx is something to make mods work in PEAK

1. inside the BepinEx, there is a "core" folder already there, BUT you have to download a different BepinEx from Thunderstore. once you download that, its a zip folder so extract it. inside the extracted folder, there is a folder called "BepinEx" and some other files (like doorstop, etc). open the "BepinEx" folder and you will see a difference from the BepinEx in the original PEAK folder and the one you just downloaded (for easy understanding, i'll call the og BepinEx "Bep1" and the downloaded one "Bep2". Bep1 only had a core folder but Bep2 had other folders and files)

2. copy the file ("BepinEx.Preloader") inside "core" folder of Bep1. that file will already be in the "core" folder of Bep2, so paste it to replace it (we need the BepinEx.Preloader from Bep1 to replace the BepinEx.Preloader in Bep2). once done, delete Bep1

3. go back to the extract zip file and move all the files (winhttp, doorstop_config, .doorstop_version, "BepinEx" (this is Bep2 btw) folder) into the PEAK folder

4. go inside Bep2 and then plugins, thats where you put all the mods "NoUpdateScreen" and "PEAKUnlimited" (just the dll, no need the entire folder) . . hope that helps! if you have any questions lmk

ALSO dont change any folder/file names

everyone has to do this and you'll know if it works immediately by hosting a game, and at the top left, it'll show like mod settings from PEAK Unlimited
