Skroogle Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'm new to modding Oblivion. I've downloaded numerous .rar files and don't know how to get them to work. I have the obmm (not the "premium version" or whatever it is), though I prefer to do things manually. So far I've managed to get an .ESP file to work by placing it and its components in the "Data" folder. When I place .rar files in the Data folder, however, they don't appear in the "Data Files" menu to be checked. What do I do to get these to function?

alex2avs Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 you need an archiving tool like 7-zip to un-archive the .rar file. Then everything should install as you mentioned above ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 A .rar file is just another kind of compressed (zipped) file, like .zip. tug, .7z7-zip can handle all of them, and unlike winrar (.rar) it is absolutely FREE (winrar ins nag ware, it constantly begs you to pay)7-zip is available here on Tesnexus also http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
