Sin911 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 RAR is just a type of compression, much like ZIP. All the files you are looking for (esp, esm, etc.) are within the RAR file and will need to be extracted with something that can read the RAR file. I personally use WinRar. Try this link for a little more detailed information. If you still need help, let me know and I will do my best :smile:Try this:http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View...etail&id=60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furzball Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 rar is a compression format just like zip and 7z. Download 7z or rarlabs, install, then extract. Once extracted check the folder you extracted it too for all the things you need for the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirMagus Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Rar is a compressed file, and if you want to unpack them, simply download WinRar Download:WinRar 3.80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Winrar is a try before buy program. after a while it will nag you to pay for it. 7-zip is completely free and will handle rar files as well as most other compressed files. It is also available free here at Tesnexus. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15579 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. http://s1.zetaboards.com/TheStormRavenLibrary/forum/256092/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXEliXx Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Think of it as a package. and you need winrar to open the package and get the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
