More detailed steps:

	1) Open your installed Data3.pak file that contains this mod:
		- Browse to your Dying Light installation folder and enter the 'DW' folder
		- Open the 'Data3.pak' file which contains this mod with WinRAR/7zip
		  "...Steam\Steamapps\common\Dying Light\DW\Data3.pak"

	2) Extract/copy the customization file(s) onto your computer someplace and then open it/them with Notepad
		- Browse to the "data\scripts\inventory\Calyxium_Bows" folder in Data3.pak
		- Copy out/extract the "Calyxium_CUSTOMIZE_BOW.txt" file onto your computer someplace
		- Copy out/extract the "Calyxium_CUSTOMIZE_CROSSBOW.txt" file onto your computer someplace
		- Open the copied file(s) with Notepad

	3) In the file(s), take note of the instructions and alter the settings to your preference
		- Remove the two // marks from the 'use' line for the setting you wish to enable on an attribute section
		- Then add two // marks to the far left of the current active setting's 'use' line to disable that setting

			Example:

				/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
				///////////////////////////////////////////                    //////
				///////////////////////////////////////////    ARROW DAMAGE    //////
				///////////////////////////////////////////                    //////
				sub CBM_Bow_Dmg()////////////////////////////////////////////////////
				{//////////////////////////////////////////
				/////////////////////////////////////////// All Disabled = Mod Default (1000)
				/////////////////////////////////////////// MAXIMUM ENABLED: ONE
				///////////////////////////////////////////
				/////////////////////////////////////////// For comparison: Official bows = 360-400
						///////////////////////////////////
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg500();////////////// 500
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg750();////////////// 750
					use CBM_Bow_Dmg1000();///////////// 1000 (Mod Default)
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg2000();///////////// 2000
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg5000();///////////// 5000
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg10000();//////////// 10000
				//	FirePointDamage(0, 10000);///////// CUSTOM (replace the value after "0, " with your value)
						///////////////////////////////////
				///////////////////////////////////////////
				}//////////////////////////////////////////

				- The 1000 Damage setting is enabled as it lacks the two // marks at the far left
				- All others settings are disabled as they have the two // marks at the far left which disable those settings
				
				To change the active setting to 2000 Damage, add two // marks to the 1000 Damage line so it is disabled and then remove
				the two // marks from the 2000 Damage line to enable it:

				/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
				///////////////////////////////////////////                    //////
				///////////////////////////////////////////    ARROW DAMAGE    //////
				///////////////////////////////////////////                    //////
				sub CBM_Bow_Dmg()////////////////////////////////////////////////////
				{//////////////////////////////////////////
				/////////////////////////////////////////// All Disabled = Mod Default (1000)
				/////////////////////////////////////////// MAXIMUM ENABLED: ONE
				///////////////////////////////////////////
				/////////////////////////////////////////// For comparison: Official bows = 360-400
						///////////////////////////////////
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg500();////////////// 500
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg750();////////////// 750
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg1000();///////////// 1000 (Mod Default)
					use CBM_Bow_Dmg2000();///////////// 2000
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg5000();///////////// 5000
				//	use CBM_Bow_Dmg10000();//////////// 10000
				//	FirePointDamage(0, 10000);///////// CUSTOM (replace the value after "0, " with your value)
						///////////////////////////////////
				///////////////////////////////////////////
				}//////////////////////////////////////////


	4) Save your changes and add the modified file(s) back into the Data3.pak file
		- After making any changes to which setting(s) will be active, save the changes to the file(s)
		- Drag and drop the modified file(s) back onto the open Data3.pak WinRar/7z window and replace the existing file(s)
		  (if 'compression method' to use when adding the file is asked, select 'Normal')
