## What it is
Mod Engine 2 is a runtime code patching and injection library for modding FROM Software's Souls games, supporting Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. It loads multiple mods concurrently via TOML configuration and a launcher, without requiring DLL sideloading.

## Use cases
- load multiple mods for Elden Ring at once
- install mods for Dark Souls 3 without replacing game files
- configure which mods are enabled via a TOML file
- launch the game with mods pre-configured
- build tooling for creating Souls game mods

## When to choose
- you want to run multiple Elden Ring or Dark Souls 3 mods concurrently
- you need a mod loader that doesn't overwrite game files
- you're a mod creator building tooling for Souls games

## When to avoid
- you need support for Sekiro, Bloodborne, or Dark Souls Remastered
- you want actively developed features - development moved to the me3 project
- you're modding games outside the FROM Software Souls series
