Monster3254 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hye guys, i just downloaded a few mods, like AT2 01-Shiki Armor Set, New Frostmourne Sword by Jojjo v1_0, and Ren's Beauty Pack(elves look too cool x.x). Now i got Ren's Working and i have the others installed without any ! or anything, just the checked boxes meaning they are active... But i can't seem to find my armour or frostmourne at its vendor/chests, can anyone help me out with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemodda Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi I'm new to this mod installing thing. I'm trying to download the castle dunkerlore but I keep getting this message that says "Windows cannot open this file" Then it said something about not knowing what program created it.

bben46 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Joe. I posted this in your other thread also Welcome to the Tesnexus I have a set of help files for people new to mods. Start here:http://s1.zetaboards.com/TheStormRavenLibr...c/343987/1/#new Start with the first one, downloading your mod, to be sure it is in the right place to work with. then go through the files in order - each one links to the next one. If you have any questions please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesinxmyxalias Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I know I'm probably asking a dumb question. I'd really appreciate it if I didn't get a condescending answer. this isnt my first elderscrolls experience. I've played the game before, this is the first time installiing it on this computer though. And I downloaded a handfull of mods that I was gonig to put on my computer. On to the point, I'm attempting to install the amazing jump mod and the readme says to put it in the data in the /meshes folder, but I dont have one, I have a meshes.bsa but not a folder what should I do at at this point?

Avatier Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 If it isn't there. Make it. That's how most mods work out. The Meshes.BSA works as a backup, if there isn't a folder there overriding the Meshes.BSA, the Meshes.BSA will take over and fill it in with the default meshes. This doesn't work all the time, as in the BSA taking over. Sometimes you'll have to extract the bsa and manually override it yourself if Black Textures or missing body parts start appearing. This is all from my experience, so it may be inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesinxmyxalias Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yeah I realized that and then I immediately felt like a right %&$! for making that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david35207 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hey, sorry if this was already answered, but how do I back up the files like this says? I am way new to this and am having a hard time actually getting the mod to work. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
