Desimar Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hello, I just got my first gaming PC, and I was wondering how I got mods on TES V: Skyrim. I own Skyrim via steam, if that makes a difference. I clicked to manually download the mod I wanted, and I went into the game after the download finished but everything was the same. Please help, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 There's a very high probability that the mod you downloaded is compressed in a .zip or .7z archive and first of all needs to be extracted. 7Zip is a free archiving utility available all over the internet that you can use to extract any mods you download from here. It's generally recommended to extract mods to a temporary location before moving them into your game file. Most of the mods available here have readme located in the archive with installation instructions, if a mod you downloaded doesn't that may be a sign of the quality of the mod itself. I personally recommend you start with something simple like an armor or weapon texture replacer just to get an idea of how Skyrim's file system works. You may find yourself needing NMM at some point in the future so it probably wouldn't hurt to go ahead and grab that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
