Rhoso Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I can't get a lot of mods to work on my computer. I think it had something to do with windows vista. I really want to download new race mods but none of them seem to work. Does anyone know how to make these mods work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you are installing the mods CORRECTLY or they will not work i can make sure i did it right, but most of the downloads say that it's supposed to be in a folder with more than one file. and when i download it, it's just one file and no folder. it could just be a bad download or something but idk.

Sypron Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Its a compressed file. They stick all the files into one big file, so you only have to download one file. The type of file is normally either a zip or rar. Both of them can be "extracted" with the use of some freeware. Google Winrar. It does both and its free.

Z-zip should do the trick And im pretty sure winrar can open 7z files.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you may wish to take care with what mods you do install. since Vista is much more resource dependant than XP, you should probably refrain from using any of the larger mods, or more than 50 smaller mods unless you have more than 3-4gb of ram. This is because everything in use by .esp file requires being stored within the ram, and it you don't have enough of a buffer, you will run into serious problems. This is in addition to the countless other issues Vista has with virtually everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted108014User Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I'v got vista and i don't have any problems with mods, but to start with i had forgotten to download the latest patch from beths website, so a lot of mods didn't work till i remembered.
