+==== Add more effects ====
+If the installed effects are not enough, you can install additional ones.
+To do so, repeat steps 1-3. \\
+The installer will recognize that Reshade is already installed for Trainz and will ask how to proceed:
+  * Update Reshade to a new version?
+  * Update Reshade and effects?
+  * Uninstall Reshade and effects?
+After selecting the second option, you can now add or remove additional effects for Reshade.
