moonshadegold Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I've been on many forums and at the mods people are downloading and seen the complaints. So hopefully this will help at least some of you confounded by the different file formats. First off I only know esp., .rar and .7z so don't bother asking me about other formats. Also, if my grammar or spelling is off...relax I just don't care right now, that's why. I'll try to keep as clean as possible though. First - I got this little piece of information off 'planet elder scrolls' - gamespy.com "WinRAR: extracts zip, rar, ace, 7z and more. A trial version is available from their homepage.WinZIP: extracts zip. A trial version is available from their homepage.FreeZIP: extracts zip. (also extracts .7z and .rar) A free version is available from the homepage." What you need to do when you get say a .7z or .rar file is to extract them. So you will need to download one of these to extract them. (If you already have WinZip then good that works too.) Since I'm cheap and what not I just downloaded FreeZIP. What I first did is take the .7z file (for example I wanted just the mod for hair by -Ren- so I moved the file to the Oblivion folder so that it would be easier for me to locate. From there you click the add button on FreeZIP and extract. I don't know the exact thing your just going to have to figure this part out...its not hard though so don't worry. So you extracted what then? Go to the Oblivion folder where you put the .7z or .rar file. You should see a folder or some sort. Inside will be your extracted files. For my extraction of -Ren-'s hair only beauty pack I got a folder and inside of it was the .esp mod, two folders (I remember one of them was textures) and a read me file. From there you only have to copy the .esp file and the two folders into the data part of the Oblivion folder. It asked me to overwrite I said yes. Now I have the wonderful hair mod by -Ren-. Hopefully this made sense to all of you. If you need further help and I don't get back to you in a timely matter, as I'm currently writing a novel I'm going to publish, then please check out the links below. I hope that they will work.

Good Luck. -Moonshadegold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 A nice idea, but if you'd looked, you'd have seen that there's a pinned topic on this very subject, explaining it in detail, so you'd have saved yourself all the time and effort of writing this.

Your probably right but I don't bother with the forums much and it really didn't take long to type this up. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
