Gedget Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm new here and well almost every file I download always seems to not work, it keeps saying windows cannot find the file. Am I missing something? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Welcome to TesNexusInstalling mods is not like sticking in a disk and clicking install. You will have to do all of the work. At first it may be a little intimidating, but after installing a few it will be easy. You have gotten past the first hurdle, actually downloading the mod. Next you have to unzip it because all mods come compressed to save download time.I recomend using 7-zip for this, as it is an excellent FREE unzipping program, and is available right here at TesNexus. http://www.tesnexus....le.php?id=15579Follow the instructions for installing it. If it asks, allow it to associate all zip type programs with 7-zip as it can handle .rar .zip and many other types of compressed file also I also recommend setting up a new folder for your downloads, and making a new subfolder for each downloaded mod to keep them organized. Put you downloaded file in that subfolder and extract it - click on it and 7-zip should run to allow you to extract the files. Most of the time you will want to extract directly to the Oblivion\data folder. If it asks about overwriting, always answer yes or yes to all as answering anything else will cause part of the mod to be left out. I Also recommend OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender)as it is needed for many mods: http://obse.silverlock.org/ and OBMM (Oblivion Mod manager) as it makes working with mods much easier. http://www.tesnexus....ile.php?id=2097 OBMM has an optional feature called OMODs that can make installing and uninstalling mods much simpler. It is not required to use the OBMM but works with it. I recommend learning how to use it to install mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gedget Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Okay, I'm confused. I did what you told me to do and for some reason when I go to download again it still doesn't work, still has the blank paper logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
