What do I do with the Files? Is nexus mod manager incompatible?

[Tinerian]

Hello!

 

I apologize in advance, I am Completely Utterly and Profoundly tech illiterate. I looked through a thread for someone who had a similar question and it got answered only with "put the files in the Data file" and they understood what that meant so no one explained further. I don't really know what a Data file is, I looked it up on Google and the definition sounds exactly like just what a normal file is?? And I'm not sure which data file I would put it into, the one for my mod manager or skyrim's?

 

Some background,

I am attempting to mod ye olde Skyrim, Not the remastered version that recently came out. I have Nexus Mod Manager.

 

I have downloaded

SexLabFramework_v162_FULL.7z

and then hit the button that said extract. I put them in a new folder. I now have a bunch of other folders filled with files and a loose file called SexLab.esm and another loose file called Read Me. I did in fact read it, it was not helpfull. I tried opening SexLab.esm with the Nexus Client and that did pull up NMM but it said that "SexLab can't be added"

 

So, what do I do with these files? Is something incompatible?

 

thank you,

Tinerian

In NMM add the whole sexlab 7z file with the big green plus icon on the topish left, don't extract it first at all. Then just activate it like something you downloaded directly from the nexus.

Ok I ran into another problem, now it says the files are "read only"
