Omegas93 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've tried the three different downloads on the page and none of them work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 You need to go back to the download page and read the part "Installation" or read the ReadMe that came with the download. It will explain how to install the file. It will not show up in the plugins or data files. It is not a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegas93 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've tried following the instructions except that I think it has something to do with the files it wants me to download, it suggests .exe files but only has .7z, at least that's what I think either that or my computer hates me take your pick you're just as likely either way.

M48A5 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 .7z are compressed files. They need to be extracted and copy/paste to the proper location. You can get 7-zip here: http://www.7-zip.org/ Best part is it's free and does a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegas93 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 This is a question that must be asked, does the script extender not work on windows 8? I ask this because this wouldn't be the first time that a game has screwed me over be because I'm on a newer OS and I figure that it extends to the modding community as well, and the tutorial videos I've seen have been on windows 7 even when I type 8 into the search.

Gribbleshnibit8 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 So long as you have the proper C++ libraries (and you should if you're running windows 8) then NVSE will work. You just need to follow the installation instructions, putting the contents of the zip file into your Fallout New Vegas root directory, NOT the data folder like other mods.

I've been using NVSE in Windows 8 since February of last year, and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
