The Last Resort mod is completely transparent and won't damage your Swat 3 install. All of the files are additive - nothing gets replaced or written over. You can easily restore your game back to default Swat 3 by clicking the on/off button on the Last Resort Launcher. The installer will also automatically make backups of all your main Swat 3 files for safety.
