[Help] Adding external files in compiled games(C#)

Question

I need help adding game resources from outside the game after it's built. After I build a game and after it's built I get the game.exe file and a data folder. I also want to include a folder called Models from which the game will import custom models created by players in the game. How should I approach this problem?

Your best bet across platforms is to use a configured path and have your game create a folder there the first time it runs. The Application.PersistentDataPath is the best location for this.

You can find info on getting the path and caveats on mobile platforms HERE.

This can be done by any way you like. I have single bat file that gets the exe, the data folder and a template folder with my custom data and merges them into directory for publishing, then, actually, publishes the game to the target store.
