BepInEx no plugins folder

[electrix0]

I downloaded BepInEx and placed it into my WorldBox folder, to install a mod called PowerBox to it.
I started the game so it could download all the files and then closed it five seconds later. Then I opened file explorer and opened the BepInEx folder but the only folders and files there were was a core folder containing .xml, .dll and probably more types of files. I couldn't see the plugins folder I needed to place the mod in (I did not use github to download this at first, I used this website first and then tried the github one.

As you can see, I have already done this

I wonder if my issue is related to this.

For Dyson Sphere Program, the old Plugins folder disappeared on my pc. The new location for the Plugins folder in AppData\Roaming\r2modmanPlus-local\DysonSphereProgram\profiles\Default\BepInEx\plugins still exists. Many newer mods that are installed in the AppData, require an older mod called LDBTool that is still installed in the older Plugins folder installed in a subfolder where the game is installed (in Steamapps\common).

Here is a link that details my issue: ebkr/r2modmanPlus#683

VirusTotal marked that file as a trojan, wouldn't trust.

Thanks. That user is now blocked and has been reported.

It's not a virus, legitimately is just a BepInEx installer. virustotal only has one thing marking it as malware, so its just a false positive. Still wouldn't really recommend using it
