*Mods: Also Important: Remove any 3rd Party “MODS” if you have any installed before updating WOTR.
We recommend you fly without any MODS initially so you can appreciate what has changed, as many older
MODS may be incompatible and break new items and so give you a worse, or broken experience.
Optionally, afterwards re-apply any Mods but only if they have been verified as compatible via the MOD author.
