Game: NieR: Automata
Alright, so there's some sort of stupid bug in MO2/USVFS that requires a workaround. First, install the game, start up MO2, and set up an instance for NieR. When that's done, you want to create an empty mod in MO2 called "Vanilla files". Go to your vanilla game folder and copy/move the entire game folder to this "Vanilla files" mod. Hit F5 to refresh MO2 and enable the mod.
Yes, seriously.
When in doubt, follow the instructions and mimic the outcome. If a mod tells you to install with NAMH, you can install with NAMH, see what it does, then uninstall with NAMH and do the same thing in MO2. Eventually the plugin should (hopefully) be updated to do more of this automatically.
Example: Reincarnation 2B Outfit
Trying to install this mod with MO2 will pop up this window.
These files obviously need to go in the data folder. So you can right-click > create directory... and create a data folder. These files are named pl000d.dat and pl000d.dtt which seems to mean they need to go in a pl folder? So right-click that new data folder > create directory... and create a pl folder. Then you drag each file into the pl folder and you end with something like this.
