Can't access data files for manual install of mods

[Tricity]

I recently got a new system, which is running Windows 7,so far everything is fine, and I can install mods via FOMM, however,I now want to install some mods manually.

 

In XP,it was straight forward, but I can't get at Data/Texture files at all. Is this another great Windoze innnovation?

 

Is there a workaround?

I don't think it is. Why can't you get there? Any error message?

Did you install the game in Program Files (x86) as by default? It will be in (x86).

 

And in the future I recommend to always install all games on a drive other than the system drive, in a Games folder.

That way, when you upgrade the OS, you can format the system drive, reinstall the game and it will stay complete with all the mods.
