smc4242 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Hello, I'm new to Skyrim Nexus modding, and I've noticed that many mods require you to manually install them, instead of using NMM. Exactly how do I do that? Can someone point me in the right direction to an article or youtube video about that? Thanks.
jack013 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 usual you just open the file and move the contents into your skyrim>data folder.
Jodi79 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) when you can't use NMM, use this one http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5010 really i prefer this one ever insted NMM, but just because i use it since morrowind ^^ and use BOSS too!!!!!! (for your load order, it's important) http://code.google.com/p/better-oblivion-sorting-software/downloads/list Jack013, your advice is quite hazardous :psyduck: Edited January 6, 2013 by Jodi79
Jeir Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 1. Download file.2. Open file. Best to use 7zip for everything (.7z, .zip, .rar) as it makes things easier.3. Look at file structure. Sometimes the first folder you find inside will be 'data', sometimes it'll be the name of the mod. Double click on it if so until you find an .esp/.esm/bsa and/or meshes/textures/etc. folders.4. Select all the files you want to install.5. Click Extract, and type in/find the location of your Skyrim/Data folder in the window that pops up.6. Click 'ok', and allow for any overwrites.
