SavageArtistry Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 ... i've tried changing the files format to esp... This sounds like you're just downloading mods and renaming the extension to esp and plopping them into your game. Am I understanding you correctly? If so, what you need to do is get something like 7Zip (which is free) to first open the downloaded mod, then you put the files which are in the mod into your data directory. Here's a stickied thread on installing mods if it helps. http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=21998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I have a set of help files for people unfamiliar with installing mods. They include downloading, unzipping (using 7-zip) installing and activating. There is a simple mod to test with included. I recommend starting at #1 and going through all of them in order to learn the basics of getting a mod to work.
