zombiecompacter Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I recently got a computer good enough to run stuff like Oblivion, and of course, I want to mod it. I have it through steam, and I have the OBSE (I've heard it works with steam now). I've downloaded a mod, but can't seem to get it to work. Where should I putting it exactly? It's a .rar file (just 1), and I put it in the Data folder, is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 No, you do not put the .rar file in the Data folder. First of all, you will need a tool to extract the .rar file. WinRAR is the native tool, but 7zip (which is free) will do it, too. Once you have WinRAR or 7zip installed, follow the instructions in either the mod's readme, or on the download page -- not all archives are packed in the same way, that is why it is very important to read the instructions, and follow them.

DaBooch Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 And one thing I have learned from the rest of the guys here...if the mod doesn't have a readme with it...probably should avoid it. There's no telling what it may do to your game/system. as well, you may want to look at using OBMM to manage your mods. Whole bunch of useful stuff in OBMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balagor Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Don´t forget to pacht up your Oblivion too. 1.2.0416 is the latest, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
