Georgiegril Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 7z files are like rar files--compacted and need to be extracted. They use 7zip to do that, which you can download for free (google it)If you are using NMM (which I would stringly recommend) then you will see in the settings that it prefers 7zip, which I have found does a better job at compacting files--creating smaller packages for faster downloads compared to Winrar.Anyway once you download 7zip you can have NMM extract your mods automatically and place the files in the appropriate folder.At that point you will probably want to download and use BOSSfor load order.
