Problem installing mods

[Plasquar]

I face a problem installing graphic mods.

For example the enhanced blood mod.

 

The downloaded .zip contained the folder "textures" and i have to place it into the skyrim data folder.

But when i open the data folder there is no textures folder.

 

do i look at the wrong place?

i installed it to d:\games\skyrim

How did you get to choose such an install folder?

 

Even though I bought the retail box version it still installed the game through Steam under the steam apps folder thing.

steam is installed there as well

also my system drive is d: not c:

For texture mods that don't require ESP for custom content. It's as simple as placing the texture folder into the data folder. Steam version directory: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data

 

Place it and start your game.

Ehm, there is no "textures" folder in the data folder?

Do i simply have to create it?

Mods with textures usually come with a texture folder, if your zip has a texture folder then just drop that into the data folder. If there isn't then yes create one.

I just was curious if skyrim would recognize a folder created by me... ok i'll just create it

As long as the file structure is correct it should work.
