 ### IDE
 By far the most important tool in a programmer's toolbox is an IDE (=Integrated Development Environment). For now, the definition of an "overengineered text editor" will suffice. Through an IDE, you can edit code far more efficiently, since it offers features such as:

+If you want to use MonoMod, you can instead use the `Lethal Company MonoMod Mod Template` in your IDE or use `lcmonomod` instead of `lcharmony` in the console.
+
+This template has an additional argument/setting for MonoMod specifically. In VS, it can be seen under MMHOOKLocation, and in the console, it's set with the `-MM` argument.
+This argument/setting is to set the MMHOOK directory to use for hooking (i.e. the HookGen "plugin").
+
+Without changing this setting, you will have to manually hook instead of using the `On.Class.Method += CustomMethod;` style provided by HookGen.
+
+Example command line usage with a path of `C:\path\to\r2modman\LethalCompany\profiles\test\BepInEx\plugins\MMHOOK\`:
+
+```shell
+dotnet new lcmonomod -n MyFirstMod -M MyName.MyFirstMod -MM "C:\path\to\r2modman\LethalCompany\profiles\test\BepInEx\plugins\MMHOOK"
