Rollingpwns Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I can't find the data folder anywhere in my computer, wondering if Steam makes it unavailable. I searched "Data", and "falloutNV" and only found save files. If it is possible please tell me where to find it. Thanks :D NOTE: This isnt the steam downloaded version, it is a box edition with steam on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIHurrell Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yes it is, I'm running several mods off mine :P It's typically in C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/fallout new vegas/Data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPTNBojangles Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I have the same version of the game and I have found the data folder but when I put mods in the folder and then launch the game they don't appear in the data files window/box for me to tick to on. Any ideas on what is wrong or if I'm putting the mods in the folder wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 First, Yes, it is moddable, and the mods are installed and work in exactly the same way for the steam version as the DVD (or box version) Note, Box version means it came in a box and was not downloaded. - No matter which version you have, it still must be loaded using steam and the game will be installed in the same place. :facepalm: Alhurell gave the path for the steam data folder - it works. :thumbsup: As for mods not working did you unzip them? As with almost every site, mods are compressed and must be unzipped in order to work. The best unzipping tool is 7-zip, available FREE right here on the Nexus. http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15579 Be sure to read the instructions both on how to install as well as how to use 7-zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPTNBojangles Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I do unzip the files using WinRar. I've tried a few different methods on how to install the mod "Dog City" but it will not appear.EDIT: Ive tried with mods of varying sizes and in what they do but they just don't appear under data files. I unzip/decompress them with WinRar then extract them to a folder and then [for example] I drag the AWOP preview into data but when I launch the game they aren't there. Please help. Thanks.
