+## Content downloads
+
+Production browser and Android builds ship a compact required set: the game
+runtime, interface, starter equipment, Wailing Caverns starter content, and a
+basic male/female Human character model with its default appearance. Large
+character and skin libraries, additional dungeons, Manastorm stages, and the
+original spell-effects and sound pack are optional downloads.
+
+Open **Downloads** from the main menu to download, update, or remove optional
+packs on either platform. Browser downloads live in an app-managed verified
+cache; Android downloads live in app-private storage. Removing a pack never
+removes a roster or save. If a character's model/skin pack is unavailable, the
+shared character renderer displays the matching-gender basic Human while
+preserving that character's identity and progress for a later reinstall.
+
+Generated spell effects and synthesized combat cues are the default and need
+no original-media download. Players who want the packaged original visuals and
+sounds can download that pack explicitly, select **Original** effects, and
+remove the pack again to reclaim its storage. See
+[`CONTENT_UPDATES.md`](CONTENT_UPDATES.md) for the content lifecycle and release
+contract.
