Since not all mods work the same way there is no answer that covers everything, but usually it's quite simple.
  • Download the file and extract it to a directory of your choice (e.g. a "OG mods"-folder to keep track of your mods).
  • Most mods have a "Data"-folder that is set up the same way the game's "Data"-folder is. In that case just copy the mods foder into the directory where your game's Data-folder is.
  • IMPORTANT Make sure to keep backups of all the files that are overwritten so that you can go back to the original if you want to get rid of the mod again. Some mods have this, but not all of them.
And that's usually it.
