NatePwnsAll Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 As I am new to using mods for the PC CD of Fallout New Vegas, I do not know how to use RAR filed mods. Are they supposed to be changed to eps files? Or is there a way to allow them to be used? Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrivener07 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 .rar files compress and contain your mod files. http://www.7-zip.org/ Download 7z and use it to extract the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werne Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Extract the files from the .rar archive with Winrar or 7z, etc. and place them in your Data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 .rar, 7z and .zip files are all different brand names of file compression software. Almost all mods are downloaded in a compressed format to save space and time in downloading, and for better security. To uncompress a file - usually called unzipping you will need one of those file compression programs installed on your computer. We usually recommend 7-zip as it is not only the best, but also the only one that is absolutely FREE for any use. It will also work on all of the other types of compressed files, including some I have never seen. It is available in many places as the author allows it to be hosted on any site that does not charge for it. Including right here on TesNexus. :thumbsup: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15579 This is a self extracting file. so to get it to work, download to anywhere, then click on the downloaded file and it will run it's installation and install itself. Just accept the defaults for a quick simple install. Be sure to associate all of the other types to open with 7-zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
