I need help with mods

[deltadawg210]

First, I'm new to this literally today. Anyways, do I need anything special to down load mods? Second, how do I find and download the ones I want? I'm sorry if there is a place this is supposed to be asked, but I couldn't find one.

You don't need anything special download mods. Most mods are usually packed in a .zip, .7z, or .rar format so you need a program like winrar or winzip to unpack the files.

 

To find mods I would start at www.tesnexus.com and start with the TOP 100. After that you can browse different catagories, I usually sort them by downloads desc to get the most popular ones. Have fun.

Welcome to the Nexus

 

You do need a PC running either WinXP or Vista. For large mods a high speed connection is better.

You also need to be logged into your computer as an administrator.

 

If you are running Vista, there are special considerations as Oblivion was designed to run on XP.

 

I have a set of help files for people new to mods. They include downloading, extracting (unzipping) installing and activating mods. I have included a sample mod to practice on and instructions for installing and using 7-zip. If you are interested, click on the highlighted link below to be taken to the site where they are kept. I recommend starting with #1 and working your way through them.
