How do u get esp mods to work for skyrim

This is the Oblivion forum. You might get better Skyrim information on the Skyrim forum.

There is not a Construction Kit yet for Skyrim, so there are not a whole lot of Skyrim mods with .esps. With the replacer style mod, follow the instructions in the readme files closely, and hope that the uploader packaged the file in a sensible format.

I haven't tested this yet, but I would imagine that to activate Skyrim mods, you go to "Data Files" in the menu with "Play" and check the box. To install the mods before activating them, follow the instructions in the readme files. These instructions probably say to decompress the downloaded .esp file into *Your Installation Directory*\Skyrim\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\

Here's a tip: even with the Script Extender, you can still use the regular launcher (in both Skyrim and Oblivion) to activate .esps under the 'Data Files' option. After checking their boxes, you exit the regular launcher and start the game with the Script Extender Launcher. That's how you do it for both Oblivion and Skyrim.
