Cant find my dowloaded mod in the geck, please help

[LaboroVellus]

So, I have WinZip and i downloaded Vault 74 doors to it and i dont know how to put them into the geck. So far theyve just stayed in WinZip since i dont know what to do with them.

If someone could explain how to put them into the geck, it would be much appreciated

I think those are psd and nif files no?

nif files are 3d models which can be directly imported into the geck.

what youll do is go to the object window and find a vault door

(VDoorSliding02 would be the one) and edit it, change the name to VDoorSlidingXXXXX where XXXXX is whatever you want (you can make the whole name whatever you want, just remeber it).

IMPORTANT*****then make SURE your nif models are in the default Fallout directory, in the meshes folder.******

 

in the new door you created, go to edit again, and select Model, navagate to your vault74.nif or whatever, and select that. it should show the proper textures.

 

if the textures are not correct (giant red triangle with exclaimation mark), you need to download NIFskope and manually rename the texture paths. (hopefully it works to begin with).

texture files are .dds with fallout by default, you can use photoshop to edit/convert .psd files though.
