STSG Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) or does it go in the folder called "sourcemods"? In program files, I only have a steam folder that contains skyrim. Where am I writing the new directory? what should it's filepath be? I have MW and OB installed in beth's folder, but not Skyrim.It shouldn't matter where skyrim is installed, you should put mods inside the "data" foulder located inside your "skyrim" one. The file path depends on the texture/mesh/sound/etc you are replacing. Usually when you download somebody else's mod they will already have created all the necessary subfoulders and you'll find inside their archive either a data foulder (which you should simply merge with yours) or a texture/mesh/whatever foulder which you should put inside your data one (sorry, I'm phrasing it quite badly). When making your own mods you should check the bsa files for the correct file location. Hope this makes sense.

It's no different than Oblivion or Morrowind mods, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STSG Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sorry my memory fails me at oblivion and morrowind mods :S. Could you please tell what exactly you did and what isn't working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knownalien Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 this exactly: C:-Program Files-Steam-SteamApps-common-skyrim-Data Right click on the zip file, rest the cursor on WinZip, Extract to: then go to the path above. and also, when I tick "load loose files" it doesn't stay ticked if I open it again.?

STSG Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Could it be that the archieve you are extracting contains a data foulder and winzip is putting it inside the skyrim data foulder instead of uniting the 2 foulders? (i.e. your mesh/texture ends up in C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Skyrim\Data\Data\Texture\... instead of c:\program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Skyrim\Data\Texture\.. - or C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Skyrim\Data\Data\Meshes\... instead of C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Skyrim\Data\Meshes\...)

knownalien Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 no. it is here: c:\program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Skyrim\Data\Texture\ only, add "common" so it looks like this: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\meshes & C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\Textures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knownalien Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 ok. I think I actually did it right the first time. I noticed that I saw a dead female hunter and she was naked. now how to do the same with my partner, as she has no clothes in apparel to take? My character is married.
