Inctructions:
*Rename main mod folder (for example in case of Portal Reloaded it's "portalreloaded") to, depending on game:
**Portal: <code>portal</code>
**Portal 2: <code>portal2_dlc3</code>
*and put this folder into:
**Portal: <code>/atmosphere/contents/01007BB017812000/romfs/nxcontent/</code>
**Portal 2: <code>/atmosphere/contents/0100ABD01785C000/romfs/nxcontent/</code>
*All folder and file names inside romfs folder must be lower case.


Notes:
*Some mods are overwriting menu options, so you can lose access to Switch controller settings.
*If after installing mod you can't save anything in options, try to delete "gameinfo.txt" from mod folder. You may also delete custom options menu.
*They are stored either freely somewhere inside mod folder OR they are packed to some vpk file.
*Mods need to have properly optimized CPU code, to prevent performance issues on the Switch ([https://gbatemp.net/threads/portal-collection-file-sideloader.617489/post-9915640 read more]).
**Examples of properly optimized mods - Portal Reloaded, ERROR, Portal: Still Alive.
**Examples of badly optimized mods - Portal Stories: Mel.
