BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOD BACKUP YOUR "patch.dat" AND "patch.fat" FILES AND YOUR SAVEGAME JUST IN CASE

Unpack the 3 files "patch.dat" and "patch.fat" and "Living_City_MOD_CONFIG.txt" from this archive to your "data_win64" game folder.
If you have patch1 files be sure that they are vanilla, and that you don't have any other mod installed that replaced them.
In case you don't have backups of the original files or you are unsure simply verify the game files through your client.
You can find the data_win64 folder in (according to your game version):

Origin (default install path)
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\WATCH_DOGS\data_win64

Steam (default install path)
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\WATCH_DOGS\data_win64

Be sure to overwrite the files patch.dat and patch.fat when asked (don't touch the patch1 files).

You can safely install this mod if you have the Bad Blood DLC and/or the latest patch v1.06.329 however due to compatibility issues the mod is disabled in the Bad Blood DLC to avoid bugs.
