The installers tab contains the package-management interface. Package management is a VERY important aspect of WB, and standards of Wrye '''BA'''sh '''IN'''staller (aka BAIN package or archive) structure represent the foundation of effectively using BAIN. Unfortunately, not all mod authors pack their mods in a BAIN-ready format, so it is important to understand how to convert to the proper structure. The good news is that BAIN has some flexibility, and usually can translate archives correctly. Packages preceded by a red (simple package), white (complex package) or gray (unrecognized) box are NOT installed (installed packages will have a plus [+] symbol inside the box). Before proceeding further, all packages must be made recognizeable to BAIN.The following examples illustrate BAIN package interpretation and allude to some effective packing methods. | The installers tab contains the package-management interface.
