Ru5tyShackleford Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I've been trying to set up a really simple message script on an object- however, I was getting an error about a missing something or whatever, and it seems that I need to extract a "Script.rar" from my data folder into the data/scripts/source folder. However, I don't seem to have this "Scripts.rar" file. I've looked through the whole data folder a few times and have even made Steam verify my install. Verification restored two files (no idea what) but still no Scripts.rar. Any idea what's happening? Such a hassle for a little popup message.

maxarturo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 You should have a "Scripts.rar" file inside your "The Elder Scroll V Skyrim" folder and not in "Data", where your "TESV.exe" is. That rar file should be extracted to your data/scripts. Or if you just need the "psc" then, data/sripts/source This is for "Legendary Edition" and not for SSE.

IsharaMeradin Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The scripts.rar file is provided by the Creation Kit installation. For LE the Creation Kit can be downloaded and installed through Steam. You can find it in your Tools section of the library. If you already have the Creation Kit installed, verify it to obtain the scripts.rar file. Just backup the contents of your Data folder first. I've heard stories where a CK verification would wipe out portions of the Data folder. maxarturo, are you sure on the location of the scripts.rar file? I don't have LE installed to verify but I recall that it too was in the data folder rather than the main folder for the game. FYI - the scripts.rar does not contain PEX files. It contains only the PSC files and it should always be extracted in the data folder as it contains the necessary directory structure inside for the included PSC files.

agerweb Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Just looked at my LE installation and my scripts.rar is in the Data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
