nosisab Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 0 - *** Make sure the unpacker you use (Winrar or whatever) is configured to 'honor' (keep) the folders structure *** some may unpack all the files under the extraction root folder and this is "troubles" here. 1 - Aways read the mod's documentation 2 - If the mod is released as a packed 7z file: a - The only thing you see into the packed file is a folder with the mod's name (and maybe some informative only files) - That mod is meant to be unpacked into a temporary folder and choices are to be made about what to install (may exist optionals or mutually excluding parts) and afterward moved "by hand" to the respective locations. If you are new at mod's installation you may prefer trying simpler ones first to get the experience. b - You see only a folder named "data" - albeit you should yet read the documentation, normally this folder can be extracted directly into the Oblivions install folder (attention, I meant the Oblivion's folder). You don't want to create another /data inside the actual /data c - You see some files, such as ESPs, ESMs and/or some folders like /textures, /meshes, /sounds ... - in this case you must unpack everything inside the data folder. 3 - If something did go wrong return to step one and make sure you follow it. 4 - If you got here and did the previous steps you came to the right place. State your problem the clearer and simpler possible yet in your topic title and description. Try avoiding the use of words such as HELP, N00B... they don't help understanding the mod issue but may help to show what is your problem and most experimented helpers may frown from ever look at your post. Good Luck, have fun with your newest mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
