How do I install climates of tamriel?

[jordangamer007]

I don't see an installation guide on the download page so I'm just wondering how I install it and what do I need. And also do i have to install ENB to go with it? Thanks.

No, you don't have to install and enb. But enbs make it look better :smile:. After downloading the file [link] open it with any program that can unzip files such as 7-zip. Now assuming you have a PC and not a mac, go to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data" Now assuming you've opened up the file you downloaded from the link I gave you, you should see these folders:

Here is a breakdown of what each folder is:

 

00 Main files - These are the main files for the mod, just take whats inside of this folder and put it into your "data" folder. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data) NOTE: ALL CONTENT FOUND IN ANY OF THESE FOLDERS ALWAYS GOES IN YOUR DATA FOLDER (also note that im saying to put the CONTENTS of the folder in your data folder. NEVER put folders in folders.)

 

01 Dungeons Hardcore/ 01 Dungeons hazardous - Optional, choose only one and install it. These change how dark dungeons are, with Hazardous being the darkest.

 

02 Interiors Warm/02 Interiors cold - Choose one and install. This changes how well-lit interiors (such as your home) are. I choose warm 100% of the time. Looks allot better in my opinion!

 

03 Vanilla nights 1-8 - Choose only one of these folders to choose how dark you want nights to be. with 1 being brightest and 8 nearly pitch-black. These files won't work if you have an enb installed. The neat thing is all these folders have a picture example of how dark it will look. (You DONT have to put those pictures in your data folder!)

 

FoMod/Images - FoMod is a file that makes the mod work with auto-installer programs. Dont use it. Images are just pics that the mod author included. Don't install it either.

 

I don't want to never hear for you again :smile: let me know if you succeeded! :wink:

I'm gonna assume you aren't using the NMM? If not, you should. It makes installing these kind of things much easier.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe when you open the Archive, you should have several folders.

The contents of the folder 'Main Files' are necessary. Copy them into 'SKyrim>Data' (in case you didn't know that already)

The rest of the folders are giving you options. choose one of the two folder beginning with '01' and move its contents into your Data folder. Repeat with the ones beginning with '02' and '03'.

 

EDIT: Whoops, I was too slow. Jordan7890 knows what he's talking about anyways!

Aww thanks :D

Thanks a lot for the info guys! It would be impossible to mess up with such clear instructions, but just one question. If I install using NMM will I still get to choose my options?

 

Edit: I'm just going to install the old fashion way using your instructions Jordan. I'll post back my results.

NMM does give you options for what you want to install. That's partially why Fomod is there :smile:

 

Also I'm sorry for leading you into thinking that image examples of how dark nights are exist in 3 "Vanilla nights 1-8" folders.

They actually are in the "images" folder... Although i'm sure you are more than capable of figuring that out :wink:

Just installed and played it for a bit and it works like a charm. I went with the warm interior version but I didn't install any darker night settings because I like being able to see. Thanks for all the help :)

Anytime :)

I have a short question: Do I always need the main files, when I just want to use the darker dungeons?

 

Thanks for the answer!

Wow, this response was much more civil than the responses on many other websites. Thank you, jordan.
