Just put

dinput8.dll
HoodiePatcher.dll
HoodiePatcher.ini
modengine.ini
Mod

in your dark souls 3 directory (Where the .exe is located)

If you would like to take advantage of HoodiePatcher's difficulty settings refer to HoodiePatcher.ini

it uses alternate savegame location by default, so if you want to change that. You can in modengine.ini. By default it's the ideal option.

Network access is blocked by default, so disable the "blockNetworkAccess" in modengine.ini if you want to play online.

Dawn of the Dark Soul is most likely not compatible with other large mods.
