Jeir Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Did you extract them from their archives, and place those extracted files within /Data? 7-zip is the best tool for extracting mods manually. As far as I'm aware, there is no difference in how you install mods on Windows systems (same location/process on Win10 as on Win7).The archives should have either various folders (/meshes, /textures, etc.) or a game archive (.bsa), as well as a plugin (.esp/.esm). Those are what go into /data.Conversely, you could use Wrye Bash or NMM to install and manage your mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't come with anything like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeir Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 What is 'it' and what is 'that'?I'm looking at the contents of the TDN Equipable Horns archive. First you get a pointless 'TDN_Equipable_Horns_2.0_ENG' folder, within that is an equally pointless 'Data' folder and a bunch of pictures, and within that is the plugin and the meshes/textures folders that belong in Skyrim/Data. You could just put that first /Data folder in the main game folder and merge them, of course (i.e. put that 'Data' folder into 'Skyrim').I'd assume the other folders are the same; just too many unnecessary subfolders.

Alright, I got them to work, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
