Question - Solved Modding problems

New to modding and tried to get the game on my new computer with HD mod and Hota but it doesn't seem to work. I downloaded of GoG but it looks like it's formated different than in the youtube tutorials on the matter for some reason and the mods don't seem to find the game.

I alsow found multiple download links for the mods and am not quite shure and am not shure what the right ones are.

Any advice on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated

Semes like I got it after a bit of trying and was able to insall it (don't ask me how, I have no idea or GoG download experience, so that was probably it)

Now all I have to do is to figure put how to retroactivly create a Desktop icon so I don't need to search for the "hd launcher.exe" in my folders and the fun can beginn.

My thanks to everyone answering, I thing it helpt me to search in the right direktion

Click right on "hd launcher.exe" => choose "create shortcut" ("Verknüpfung erstellen" in German? google sucks for some reason to check if it's correct term) => cut and paste it on desktop.

As for your other issue - GoG offers download of installers. You have to still manually install the game after downloading the exe file. Also other thing - if you installed the game in default location inside "Program Files" folder ("Programme" I guess?) HD mod will have issues with working. If you installed it in the location visible on screenshots you should be fine though.
