Rabbit1251 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 What version of Skyrim are you running? Disk, Steam or another? Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruFruHM Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data , should be the location of your data folder. It isn't one of those things that are created by a user, its where all your meshes, textures, sounds, esms, etc are located, so it should exist if you can actually run your game. Make sure your looking in your program files\steam folder, not your documents\my games, which seems to be the case if you can see the saves folder. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjachicken17 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I got the game from a disk not steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 YOu have to run steam as well, even with a legal disk bought in a store. Go to steam and register your disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruFruHM Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 0.o Yeah, the installer should prompt you to register the game through steam and then you'd be taken to your steam account and see the normal steam install process begin there... It would be odd if that wasn' the case (you need Steam to run the game). Anyhow, are you looking in your My Document's folder or Program Files? ....That seems to be your issue if your not suffering from a falty install.

FruFruHM Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data Paste that into the top bar when on any of your computer's interface windows. Your documents\MyGames\Skyrim folder's just where your saves and some ini files are located. The program files one's where everything else game related is stored (and if your installing mods you should make a shortcut on your desktop just for ease of access).=P Just go to the Steam website and click sign up and install steam, or whatever variant of that's there. Though when you run Skyrim it should be through Steam, so there should be a Steam shortcut and folder if you've ever played Skyrim before. 0.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
