 Now, assuming everything has gone to plan, you should be able to boot the game and enjoy your new preset with its custom tile! After selecting New Game and choosing a game mode, select Presets then whichever genotype you categorized your preset under. You should see it in the list.
-=== Adding Even More Presets ===
+== Using a Different Build ==
-You can add more than one preset in the same mod. To do so, add another <code>pregen</code> section just like the first one. Here's an example:
+As mentioned earlier, you don't have to stick with the build you picked for your preset. To use a different one:
+# Select the preset as normal during character creation.
+# Go back to a previous step by using the back arrow or one of the step icons at the top. For example, if your preset's default build is a Nomad, then there will be an icon at the top that says “Nomad”. Click that to go to the beginning of creating your character. Don't reselect a preset or else it will reset any changes you've made.
+# Now you can go through character creation as normal.
