klutzy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'm having a problem with the files. I'm only able to extract Zip folders into my Oblivion Data Directory. Auto-files. applications, 7z and RAR all won't work.And out of the Zip folders I can download, I'm unable to get the full File-Folders onto my game data.So I'm only able to download and play 1/5 mods I look up.Can someone tell me what I should do to a larger variety of mods available to me, because I miss out on so many good mods.Do I need to download something or is there a requirement I need. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I don't know what archive extractor you use, but latest WinZip can extract RAR, IIRC. Also, you can use 7-zip to extract 7z and RAR(besides, 7-zip is free...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branimirzg Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Do you have 7-zip? link-> 7-Zip Archive Utility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have a set of help files for people who are not computer geeks and are new to mods. They include downloading, extracting (unzipping) installing and activating mods. I have included a simple 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/ If you use them I would appreciate some feedback as to what needs improvement and what works for you.

klutzy Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 This 7z installation hasn't helped. I still can't extract these files to the actual game itself.My data directory is filled with useless mods that I can't get onto the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonn Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Try extracting them to a temporary directory first. Then check the structure, and move them to the data directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
