+# Modlet Management Scripts
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Enable all modlets for testing in vanilla 7 Days to Die:
+```powershell
+.kilo\scripts\modlet.ps1 -Action enable
+```
+
+Disable all modlets:
+```powershell
+.kilo\scripts\modlet.ps1 -Action disable
+```
+
+Sync changes from repo to Steam (for modlets already enabled):
+```powershell
+.kilo\scripts\modlet.ps1 -Action sync
+```
+
+Check which modlets are currently enabled:
+```powershell
+.kilo\scripts\modlet.ps1 -Action status
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+This script copies modlets from `mods/` into the Steam `Mods` folder. This means:
+- Edit modlets in `mods/` and run `sync` to update
+- Enable/disable with a single command
+- No junctions or special filesystem features required
+- Works without admin privileges
+
+## Manual Shortcuts
+
+You can also create shortcuts on the desktop for quick access:
+
+### Enable Modlets
+```powershell
+powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Users\lynda\Git\lyndas_mod\.kilo\scripts\modlet.ps1" -Action enable
+```
+
+### Disable Modlets
+```powershell
+powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Users\lynda\Git\lyndas_mod\.kilo\scripts\modlet.ps1" -Action disable
+```
+
+### Sync Modlets
+```powershell
+powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Users\lynda\Git\lyndas_mod\.kilo\scripts\modlet.ps1" -Action sync
+```
+
+## Adding New Modlets
+
+1. Create a new folder in `mods/`
+2. Add `ModInfo.xml` and `Config/` files
+3. Run the enable script to test
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If copies fail:
+- Ensure 7 Days to Die is not running
+- Check that the Steam `Mods` folder exists
+- Run PowerShell as Administrator if needed

+# Lynda's First Modlet
+
+A simple starting modlet for minor 7 Days to Die modifications.
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+example_modlet/
+  ModInfo.xml
+  Config/
+    example_modlet.xml
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+This modlet uses XPath to modify game settings. The example changes:
+- Player max health: 200
+- Player starting health: 200
+
+## Testing
+
+1. Copy the entire `example_modlet` folder to:
+   ```
+   C:\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\example_modlet
+   ```
+
+2. Launch 7 Days to Die and start a new game.
+
+3. Verify the changes take effect (player should have 200 health instead of 100).
+
+## Making Your Own Changes
+
+Edit `Config/example_modlet.xml` to change different settings. Common XPath targets:
+- `/player/@maxHealth` - player max health
+- `/player/@health` - player starting health
+- `/zombie/@health` - zombie health
+- `/loot/@quantity` - loot quantities
+
+## Notes
+
+- Keep changes small and test one thing at a time.
+- If something breaks, delete the modlet folder from `C:\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\` to revert.
+- For more complex mods, consider using the mod launcher's `C:\7D2D\v3\` structure instead.
