# Setup

Prepare your Base Packs and AddOn Packs.

## <mark style="color:blue;">Prepare Your Character Packs</mark>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Import Base packs **before** you import any AddOn packs.
{% endhint %}

1. **Download and import your Base Character(s)**

   \
   **If you purchased from the Unity Asset Store**: Navigate to the Package Manager  (in Unity’s top menu: **Window** > **Package Manager**). Select "My Assets" from the Packages drop-down menu and then use the search bar to quickly find your packages. You will need to Download the package first, and then import it into the project.

   \
   If you purchased from the Stellar Game Assets website: Import the package(s) into Unity via **Assets** > **Import Package > Custom Package.**<br>
2. **Update Character Styles**<br>

   Add-On Packages come with a Wearable Database asset, which is located in **Assets > Stellar Game Assets > MCS > Content > Characters > AddOns > (AddOnName) > Database**. Select the corresponding Character Style asset, which will be located in **Assets > Stellar Game Assets > MCS > Content > Characters > Character Styles > (Base Character).** Drag the Wearable Database for the Add-On pack into the Wearable Database array for the Character Style.\

3. **Update Cosmetic Options**

   \
   If an AddOn pack includes cosmetic options, such as skin or eye styles, add them to the Character Style for the Base Pack as well.\
