Launch Wrye Bash using the Start Menu shortcut, and WB will open to the '''Mods Tab''', which is where plugins (ESMs & ESPs) are managed ('''Figure 2'''). Upon launch, WB creates ''Skyrim Mods\'' beside ''skyrim\''. This is the directory under which WB will look for mod packages among other things; therefore, mod packages should be moved or downloaded directly to '''''Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Mods\Bash Installers\'''''. | Launch Wrye Bash using the Start Menu shortcut, and WB will open to the '''Mods Tab''', which is where plugins (ESMs & ESPs) are managed ('''Figure 2''').

Click the "Installers" tab, this might invoke a pop-up warning, if it does click on ‘Yes’ and it should load very quickly, as there is nothing yet in the package repository. Adding a new package to BAIN is as easy as dropping a zip file into the bash installers directory. A full crc scan of the package repository (''Bash Installers\'') is initiated every time the installers tab is selected and any new mods found will be appended in alphabetical order to the package list. It should be noted that WB recognizes the contents of both extracted folders (called '''projects''') and archives (called '''packages'''); however, it is strongly recommended that installers be kept in archive format as a standard practice, as this is not only a more efficient use of space, but for some reason, it takes WB significantly longer to scan a given project than it does its corresponding package. | Click the "Installers" tab, this might invoke a pop-up warning, if it does click on ‘Yes’ and it should load very quickly, as there is nothing yet in the package repository.
