Mods are not sandboxed in any way. In other words, they run with the same level of privilege as Neos itself. A poorly written mod could cause performance or stability issues. A maliciously designed mod could give a malicious actor a dangerous level of control over your computer. **Make sure you only use mods from sources you trust.**

The modding community maintains [a list of mods](https://www.neosmodloader.com/mods) that have been manually audited to ensure they aren't evil. While this process isn't 100% foolproof, the mods on this list are significantly more trustworthy than an unvetted DLL.
