A readme is a text file that documents the mod. The modder usually includes the following information in a readme: Title, author, date completed, file name, installation instructions, contact, bugs, description, credits, permissions (regarding usage in other work), and legal information.

The publisher has demanded that the following must be included in the readme for all mods:
