Vrex119 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hey guys I just downloaded a couple of mods that are all esp files. What do I do with these files, I tried placing them in the data file but that did nothing. I read some where that its something to do with a plugin file or something like that, if so could you tell me how to make a plugin file and where to put it. Could someone please tell me how to install esp file mods. I am using Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) First off, .esp files are the plugin files (Elder Scrolls Plugin). Secondly, get NMM to handle plugin activation and load order sorting. Plugins must be "activated" (turned on so to speak). The sequence in which mods load can be important as well so once you're running 10 or more plugins you may want to look into BOSS. If you run into any problems post back here.

Vrex119 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 That didn't really answer my question. I want to know how to install them without NMM because it doesn't work for me, please don't ask why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staind716 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Install them in your Skyrim/Data folder and make sure the esps are checked in data options on loading screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
