Depending on the folder, the game will load anything with a .dat extension, so if you add an extra file it will load that as well as the original. In the .dat files everything is referred to by ID number, so what you end up with is duplicates and a load of things all with the same ID and with duplicates, you can never be sure which one the game will choose to use. Generally, mods are designed to overwrite the original stock game files to avoid this problem / feature
.
Even people who have been modding for a long time get caught out by this, when they rename the original and don't move it out of the game folder, then scratch their head wondering why their change isn't working. So you're in good company
