-====== Prerequisites ======
-Before we can begin with modding, there are a few important steps to prepare your environment.
-Please follow the instructions below to ensure everything is correctly set up.
-===== 1. Install Unreal Engine 5.4.4 =====
-To get started, download and install **Unreal Engine 5.4.4** using the Epic Games Launcher.
-It is very important to use **exactly this version**, as SubwaySim 2 modding tools are only compatible with 5.4.4.
-  * Install [[https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download|Unreal Engine]] 5.4.4 via the Epic Games Launcher.

-===== 2. Install the .NET 8.0 Runtime =====
-After installing Unreal Engine, you will also need the **.NET 8.0 Runtime**.
-This component is required for several tools and scripts used throughout the modding workflow.
-The link below should start the download automatically.
-Simply run the installer once the download finishes.
-  * Install [[https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x86&rid=win-x86&os=win10&apphost_version=8.0.13|.NET 8.0 Runtime]]
-===== 3. Install Visual Studio Code (for Lua Script Editing) =====
-To comfortably edit Lua scripts later on, we recommend installing **Visual Studio Code**.
-It is completely free and supports Lua through community extensions.
-  * Download Visual Studio Code here: [[https://code.visualstudio.com/download|Visual Studio Code – Download]]
-Once installed, open VS Code and navigate to the **Extensions** section.
-Search for **"Lua"**, then install the extension created by **sumneko**.
-This extension provides syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, linting, and many helpful features for scripting.
-  * Open VS Code → Extensions
-  * Search for: **Lua**
-  * Install the extension by **sumneko**

-===== 4. Download the Modding SDK =====
-To create your own mods for SubwaySim 2, you will need the official **Modding SDK**.
-It contains all required tools, scripts, and editor configurations used throughout the modding workflow.
-  * You can find the latest and older Modding SDK versions on [[https://github.com/SimuverseInteractive/SubwaySim2-ModdingSDK|GitHub]].
-After downloading the SDK, extract the ZIP file to a **short and simple folder path**, ideally something like:
-``C:\SubwaySimSDK\``
-This is highly recommended because Unreal Engine can produce errors if file paths become too long during the mod packaging process (e.g., when creating the final `.pak` file).
-Keeping the SDK path short ensures that all internal directories remain within Windows’ path length limits and prevents build issues later on.
-Once the SDK is extracted, you are ready to proceed with the next steps of the modding setup.
-===== You are ready to start modding! =====
-Once these steps are completed, your system is fully prepared and you are ready to begin creating mods for SubwaySim 2.
