Installation

Confirm original Diablo II and Lord of Destruction and check the game version. Keep this out of the Resurrected folder.
Close the game and back up every file in the actual save path, including shared-stash .sss files and an existing PlugY.ini.
Get the Installer.exe package from the original v14.03 release. Follow its Readme and select your classic LoD folder. Keep the D2FilePatcher method separate.
Back up PlugY.ini before configuring features and a dedicated save path. Do not share saves with a different overhaul.
Launch PlugY.exe. Test personal and shared storage and saving with a new offline character; compare copies of existing saves first.
Read CONFIGURATION in the original Readme for individual features. Keep the installation-time manual backup even when automatic backups are enabled.

Removal · recovery

While PlugY is enabled, move items beyond normal stash capacity into compatible normal storage. Restore pre-install saves if consolidation is impossible.
Close the game and preserve the entire current save folder and shared-stash .sss files. Use the author’s uninstaller and stop using the PlugY shortcut.
Compare existing saves in the original base game. Archive mod shared storage instead of deleting it. Do not perform DLL-patch recovery steps for a method this guide did not use.
