Issues with "Realistic Ragdolls and Force" mod

[Avelon]

Someone somewhere recommended taking all of the files in ragdolls and force and changing their dates to today's date so that they were newer than anything else.

That's because that would affect the load order. Newer files load later - so a mod made in 2006 will load before one made in 2007. There are several programs that let you set your load order to whatever you wish, and to make some mods and mod combinations work, you have to do so.

That wasn't what was going on in my case. I tried putting it to the bottom in mod manager and it still wouldn't work until I modified the dates of the files. I'm guessing there are physics models (skeletons) in the SI bsa that are newer than ragdolls because ragdolls files were older and it will prefer which ever files have the more recent date, regardless of load order when it comes to the data files versus the plugins that use them.

How exactly would I go about changing the date in which it was modified (because I do not know how to modify the file itself)?

I am unable to do so with the CS, so how would I go about changing the date of modification for the files?
