[v1.5.0] [For Lethal Company v49] High quality modpack containing 100+ quality of life and rebalance mods that improve the gameplay loop while still remaining a challenging experience. Install this modpack if you are looking for an experience that:

• Is ideal for 4+ players (More is better).
• Increases the difficulty of vanilla LC, to some Brutal & Insane amounts.
• Adds fresh content to the game that stays true to the genre.
• Adds plenty of quality of life additions to streamline your gameplay.
• Recieves frequent updates and tweaks to ensure the best experience.

[Prerequisite] Installing R2ModManager:

Before installing the modpack, you need the recommended modloader, R2ModManager (AKA R2ModMan). We prefer this over the alternative, Thunderstore, as it is ad-free and does not require Overwolf, which is included with Thunderstore and forced to run.

To install:

1. Download R2ModManager by pressing "Manual download" on the linked page.
2. Create a folder to extract R2ModMan to that is memorable and easily accessible (example, a folder named "R2ModMan" on your desktop).
3. Extract the contents of the downloaded .ZIP file to this newly created folder, and run the executable file contained within.
4. This will begin the installation of R2ModMan. Follow the steps on the setup wizard, and run R2ModMan when finished.
