+# Data Mods and Omnimix
+
+!!! info "This guide will cover how to mod your BEMANI game's data folder in a non-destructive way.<br>No files will be removed or overwritten."
+
+---
+### Pre-requisites
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+	- A fully working and unmodified game.
+	- The data to mod your game with.
+
+!!! danger "ATTENTION"
+
+	- Please make sure the mod you're installing is **compatible with YOUR specific game and game version**.
+	- If connecting to an **online network**, make sure they **explicitly allow** the mod you're about to install.
+	- TWO-TORIAL will **NOT** provide support with issues caused by mods besides **Omnimix** for beatmania IIDX.
+
+---
+### Preparing data_mods
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+	Let's place your mod files in the right folder.
+
+	- Create a `data_mods` folder next to the others in your game files.
+
+	<img src="/img/datamods/1.png">
+
+	Depending on how your mod is packaged, you may or may not need to create another folder to contain it.  
+	Inside that folder, the structure should follow the one in `data/`.
+
+	- Place your files inside that `data_mods/folder/`.
+
+	If you're confused, the following may help you understand what this means.
+
+	```
+	├─ data/
+	├─── graphic/
+	├─── info/
+	├─── movie/
+	├─── sound/
+	├─── etc...
+	├─ data_mods/  
+	├─── folder_name/
+	├───── graphic/ <- files that mod the /data/graphic/ folder go here
+	├───── info/ <- files that mod the /data/info/ folder go here
+	├───── movie/ <- files that mod the /data/movie/ folder go here
+	├───── sound/ <- files that mod the /data/sound/ folder go here
+	├───── etc...
+	├─ dev/ 
+	├─ modules/  
+	├─ prop/  
+	```
+
+!!! info "Example: Omnimix for beatmania IIDX 31 EPOLIS"

+### Loading data_mods
+
+#### Installing ifs_layeredfs
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+	We now need a way for our game to load our mods.
+
+	- Download the most recent release of [ifs_layeredfs](https://github.com/mon/ifs_layeredfs/releases/).
+
+	<img src="/img/datamods/4.png">
+
+	- Open the archive.
+
+	<img src="/img/datamods/5.png">
+
+	What we're interested in are the `64bit` and `32bit` folders:
+	
+	- Your game is 32bit *(spice.exe to launch)*: go in the `32bit` folder.
+	- Your game is 64bit *(spice64.exe to launch)*: go in the `64bit` folder.
+
+	<img src="/img/datamods/6.png">
+
+	- Copy the `ifs_hook.dll` file to your game's `modules` folder.
+
+	- Back to the archive, go inside the `automatic_injector_dlls` folder.
+
+	<img src="/img/datamods/7.png">
+
+	- Copy the `d3d9.dll` file to your game's `modules` folder.
+
+	<img src="/img/datamods/8.png">
+
+#### Loading ifs_layeredfs
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+	All that should be left to do is tell spice2x to load `ifs_hook.dll`.
+
+	- Open your game's `spicecfg.exe`.
+	- Head to the `options` tab.
+	- Find the `Inject DLL Hooks` option under `Common` and type in `ifs_hook.dll` then press Enter.
+
+	Note: If you have other DLL hooks, simply add more by having a space in between them..  
+	Example: `ifs_hook.dll somehook.dll`
+
+	<img src="/img/datamods/9.png">
+
+	Assuming your `data_mods` folder has been made properly, that's it!
+
+!!! danger "Extra step for beatmania IIDX Omnimix"
+
+	You also need to patch your game's DLL with the `Omnimix` patch.
+	
+	For more information on how to patch your game, head over to the [Spice2x Patching](../extras/patchsp2x.md) page!
