ironbender800 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I cant seem to install mods manually using the reccomended Z zip program.

Hi there, I'm pretty new to this myself, but I recommend using Nexus Mod Manager to install your mods. That way, you don't have to unzip anything. Simply click on the "Add mod from file" button at the top of the left-hand column and select the zipped mod, NMM will do the rest. Hope that helps.

Yes i know about nexus mod manager and its easy to use for sure. But for the texture mods i wanted to put them in data folder myself to make sure im getting everything. Hence the manual installation. Problem is the 7zip program wont open the files to extract the data........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishiboy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Weird! Have you tried to re-download the file? Otherwise, I really don't know what to suggest. I use WinRAR, and that seems to work with everything, otherwise, I don't know, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
