Taserpenguin Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 every mod I have been downloading recently has been in RAR file type. I don't know what those are, but its getting annoying because every time I try to load one, it crashes my FOMM. Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 .rar, as well as .7z and .zip are all compressed file formats. Nearly all files on TheNexus (and almost any other site where you download files of any kind - not just game files) will be compressed, most likely using one of those 3. You will need to uncompress (unzip) them before they will work with the game. To do this you will need one of those programs - they all work about the same and are about equal except in one major factor. 7-zip (7z) is FREE while Winrar (rar)is shareware (try before you buy) and Winzip (zip) is a for pay program. Any of them can unzip any of the other formats as well as their own, so you only need one. 7-zip is also available right here on TheNexus http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
