Neither of those two places. When you start the game with Aric's mod installed it should create the image folders in the "Strive" appdata folder, the one above the "mods" folder. After the mod creates those, put the images in those folders.

Strange, I wouldn't mind some additional input on this. 

This is the scan on the files before zipping them:

And this is the scan of the original zip before uploading it:

After Re-zipping the files, it doesn't detect anything.

(Edit: I should also add that scanning the extracted files from the flagged zip doesn't detect anything)

(Edit 2: I also want to throw in that Malwarebytes doesn't detect anything, only Windows Defender seems to)

No idea why as I haven't had any viruses to my knowledge, my system stays up to date and my copy of 7-Zip is from the offical site "7-zip.org".

I'll reupload the newly zipped file which doesn't seem to be flagged, and if anyone is better at analyzing this type of stuff I would appreciate if they could check the original file and see if it's a false positive or actually malicious.

Sorry for the inconvenience. (PS, I've removed all the empty folders <3 )
