+# Editing STServer.ini
+
+## First look at `STServer.ini`
+
+The default `STServer.ini` config file will look like this:
+
+```
+[general]
+sLogLevel=info
+bConsole=true
+
+
+[LiveServices]
+bAnnounceServer=true
+
+
+[Gameplay]
+fGoldLossFactor=0
+bEnablePvp=false
+bEnableGreetings=false
+uDifficulty=4
+
+
+[ModPolicy]
+bAllowMO2=true
+bAllowSKSE=true
+bEnableModCheck=false
+
+
+[GameServer]
+sPassword=
+sAdminPassword=
+sServerName=Dedicated Together Server
+bPremiumMode=true
+uPort=10578
+```
+
+To learn more about what each line does, visit [this page](../../server-configuration.md), which goes over each parameter in detail.
+
+On the following page, the guide will explain what the `bEnableModCheck` is and how to properly configure it.
+
+## Example of how a config file can look
+
+We'll give you **an example** of how to set up a config file in this section. If you require further explanation of the parameters, we will refer you to [this page](../../server-configuration.md).
+
+```
+[general]
+sLogLevel=info # Logs everything
+bConsole=true # Enables interactive console is enabled or not
+
+
+[LiveServices]
+bAnnounceServer=true # Makes it show on the global server list
+
+
+[Gameplay]
+fGoldLossFactor=0 # Disables players losing gold on deaths
+bEnablePvp=true # Enables PVP
+bEnableGreetings=false # Disables NPCs greeting
+uDifficulty=5 # Setting the difficulty level at Legendary
+
+
+[ModPolicy]
+bAllowMO2=true # Allows using ModOrganizer2
+bAllowSKSE=true # Allows SKSE
+bEnableModCheck=false # Disables verifying connecting users loadorder.txt (more on that later)
+
+
+[GameServer]
+sPassword=mySuperServerPassword # Setting the password to mySuperServerPassword
+sAdminPassword=thisdoesntmatter # Setting the admin password to thisdoesntmatter
+sServerName=My Very Best Server # Setting the server name to be "My Very Best Server"
+bPremiumMode=true # Setting the tickrate to 60
+uPort=10578 # Setting the port to 10578 (important!)
+```

+# Locating the STServer.ini
+
+## Locating the `STServer.ini` to configure our server
+
+Now that our server is shut down and we've created the inbound firewall rules, we can look at the `STServer.ini` config file, which allows us to configure a few parameters.
+
+## [Option 1: Using MO2](locating-the-stserver.ini.md#using-modorganizer2) | [Option 2: Using VMM](locating-the-stserver.ini.md#using-vortex-mod-manager)
+
+### **Using ModOrganizer2**
+
+1. Open MO2
+2. Find the mod `Skyrim Together Reborn`
+3. Right-click it, and select `Open in Explorer`
+4. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Q3HE73V.png)
+5. Inside there, select the folder named `Skyrim Together Reborn`
+6. Now find the folder named `config` and enter it.
+7. Inside there will be the config file named `STServer.ini`
+8. Open that with a text-editor of your choice. In my case I'll use good ol' `Notepad++`.
+

+
+### **Using Vortex Mod Manager**
+
+1. Open Vortex
+2. Go to the `Mods` menu
+3. Make sure `Skyrim Together Reborn` is installed and `Enabled`
+4. Press `Windows Key + R` and enter this path in the `Run` window:\
+   `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\SkyrimTogetherReborn`
+5. In that folder, open the `config` folder
+6. In there will be the `STServer.ini` file
+7. Open that with a text-editor of your choice. In my case I'll use good ol' `Notepad++`.
