[IDCs]

Although it does appear that most mods on the website act as asset replacements and the extension should be able to cater for that; it currently would barely support any of them due to the hectic packaging patterns.

To unblock:

• At a minimum a custom installer needs to be created to cater for the packaging patterns and ensure the mods are deployed correctly
• Alternatively some stop patterns could be implemented
• (Optional) - this is a unity game so I'm surprised none of the mods on the site use BepInEx currently - might be wise to integrate the extension with Vortex's bepinex extension requireExtension('modtype-bepinex') in case this changes in the future.
