# Using BepInEx plugins

For this example, we will be using the [DLC Costumes outside of battle](https://gamebanana.com/mods/398555) mod.

BepInEx mods usually come in the form of .dll files, these are plugins.

### Where to place the mods/plugins

Now that you have done the first time setup of BepInEx, **go inside the BepInEx folder**, and find the folder named plugins (or create a plugins folder if it does not already exist).\
Download the mod zip file, extract the zip file, and place the extracted .dll file inside this folder (in this case it will be named SoulHackers2Utils.dll).

Some mods/plugins come with different configurable options, DLC Costumes outside of battle mod is one such example, this means the mod/plugin will generate a configuration file the first time you boot your game with the mod/plugin installed.

Boot the game once after you have installed your mod/plugin and check your configuration folder (BepInEx -> config) and see if there is a new .cfg file with the name of the mod/plugin, and if so, you can use a text editor of your choice to edit the configuration to suit your needs.

And that's it! Once you're done editing the mod/plugin configuration to enable/disable the features you want, you're now free to play the game with your new mod/plugin!
