Lisnpuppy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 program files/steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim is the usual file structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandus Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah it's in [steam folder*]/steamapps/common/Skyrim(* Depending on where you've installed Steam, default is, as lisnpuppy writes in program files/steam) And apart from that it's just the same as Oblivion (Steam or normal versions are the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemperor1 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah it's in [steam folder*]/steamapps/common/Skyrim(* Depending on where you've installed Steam, default is, as lisnpuppy writes in program files/steam) And apart from that it's just the same as Oblivion (Steam or normal versions are the same)I'm a noob. Could you elaborate on "same as Oblivion" please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 lemperor1, he means it follows the same folder structure as Oblivion. Data\meshes\(various sub-folders) Sort of like what is above. Most mods will be a drag and drop install, and if there is not currently a folder there the file you drop will place the correct on in the correct place (assuming the person who packed the files did their naming correct :tongue: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 In other words if you were installing a texture file for females it would go here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\actors\character\female Or if the zip has the "Data" folder structure already in it, you drag the "Data" folder from the zip and into: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrdfire Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Or you can use SteamTool to remap your directory to something shorter using Windows' junctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanoid Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I've just installed Skyrim. The structure ISN'T like Oblivion. The data folder has no sub-folders. The meshes are all in a single 1.4 Gb file ! So where do the mods go ? And why do others think the stucture is different ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegga7jr Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 ok i can find the "data" folder. the only problem is there are not folders for textures sounds animations ect. there all in some format like "Skyrim - Textures" or "skyrim - animations" that are all .bsa files. how do i mod a bsa files?
