I followed the instructions but I am sure I did something wrong as I am getting the attached error message.

The prefs folder is just a per user folder that c4d creates, so that multiple users can use c4d on one computer with different shortcutslayoutsplugins.

Delete those and toss the whole x-particles folder in there as Vozzz instructed.

Plugins need their container folders in c4d, unlike an app like after effects where plugin files all just roam freely in the plugins directory;).

The folder that was unzipped should be placed inside the plugins folder.
