Having trouble installing the mods as directed... there's a litany of errors all saying "ERROR Restting file (File not found)". 

Also noticed that despite the download folder having "Version 1.3e" in the title, the in-game mods list says that both mods are "Version 1.3 Updated for Strive version 1.0a." 

Possibly the download link is headed to the wrong spot? Or am I just an idiot?

There are typos in the version information, but the mod itself is reliable.

"ERROR: Resetting file" means that there is a problem with using the "backup" folder found in the Strive program folder. "(File not found)" means that your "backup" folder appears to be empty. There are generally 2 causes for this: you are playing on MacOS or you have permissions problems with the Strive program folder. If you have MacOS, then use this post to follow the guide for setting up for mods: https://itch.io/post/2847934.

Otherwise, you will need to setup your Strive program folder to a location with less restrictive permissions like the Desktop or some kind of documents folder. On Windows, the "Programs Files" folders are generally the worst place to put it but there are other folders that can have permission restrictions, so you may have to try a few locations. Generally you should be able to simply move the folder to the new location, but occasionally people have managed to inherit the permissions onto the program folder.

Interesting. I'm on Windows and have been fiddling around with the folders and still haven't found a solution. I'm going to try a complete reinstallation just for the sake of it.

I know its old but anyone experiencing  this issue go ahead and try deleting the backup folder
