Note that while the mod_overrides folder is inside the 'assets' folder within the game install directory, the Maps folder is actually in the game install directory proper like the mods folder is. Custom heists installed outside this folder will not be loaded by BeardLib and added to the game, and mods that are not custom heists probably won't work if you plonk them here. All custom heists you download must go in this folder, and this folder only. The Maps folder (yes, that 'm' is supposed to be capitalized) is something that only exists if you have BeardLib installed, and contains, well, maps. The third folder, however, is pretty distinctive. As a general rule of thumb however, mods that require BeardLib that aren't gameplay-changing mods go in mod_overrides, and the rest goes in mods unless explicitly stated. Note that if you have BLT and BeardLib the line between these two folders starts to blur a little. Things that go in the mods folder are more advanced, ranging from mods that change the core gameplay of PAYDAY 2 to slick interactive HUDs to things as simple as extra perk decks and throwables. In contrast, the mods folder requires BLT, and as such does far more than merely replacing sounds and images.

Without BLT installed, all the mod_overrides folder does is tell the game what models/textures/sounds it should be loading as a replacement for which base game models/textures/sounds - for example, if you have the Doom Ithaca mod in your mod_overrides folder, PAYDAY 2 will look inside the Doom Ithaca directory, see that said directory has its own file at /soundbanks/wpn_m37.bnk, and then play sounds from that soundbank instead of the base game /soundbanks/wpn_m37.bnk.

The mod_overrides folder is supported by PAYDAY 2 by default, and will either come with your PAYDAY 2 install by default (located within the 'assets' folder), or require manual creation (read: make a folder in 'assets' named 'mod_overrides' yourself) but still work anyway.

This is a typical point of confusion for people new or inexperienced with using mods for PAYDAY 2, so allow me to provide a simple breakdown. Mods folder VS mod_overrides folder VS Maps folder: SuperBLT is just the next evolution of BLT/BLT2, so all your old mod would work just fine in SuperBLT. Once you've done that stuff, follow instructions set above this and you should be good!.After that, go back into the main directory and delete IPHLPAPI.dll (SuperBLT uses its own version).First, you have to go into your mods folder and delete the base subfolder (SuperBLT has its own version that it'll download automagically on the next steps).In contrast, if you already have previous version of BLT, its highly recommended to upgrade to SuperBLT: Once that's done restart the game and and SuperBLT is now operational.Download the base mod files when SuperBLT prompts you to.Extract the the contents of the archive into your PAYDAY 2 install folder.Go here, download the Latest Release DLL.Installation of SuperBLT, if you don't already have BLT, is pretty simple: In short, SuperBLT is what you absolutely need if you want to have weapons/heists with custom sound effects and/or if you want to be able to listen to entirely new heist songs. SuperBLT does a lot of things, such as allowing you to manage auto-updates for mods that need to be downloaded off GitHub, making XML work stronger and more concise, and so on, but the most important thing it does is allow you to use custom audio files instead of reusing or replacing audio files from the base game. SuperBLT is the successor of now-defunct BLT/BLT2.
