did you put the zipped up files into the skyrim data folder? cause you have to extract it first and then put the actual files not the zip files into the data folder

[gray2p]

No I extacted but the mods just aren't working.

[SummGai]

alrighty, then i would suggest rather installing them manually you should use this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/content/modmanager/

 

the nexus mod manager is simple and easy to use, all you have to do is install it, and run it (make sure you have a nexus account), and all you do is add mods under the mod tab, no need for any extractions or sorting this thing does it automatically

[gray2p]

OK I already have the manager. Do I just put the mods in the folder before I run it and it will do the import for me. Right?

[SummGai]

nope what you said there will do nothing at all.

 

so for you, once again, i have created a picture tutorial :D

 

Step 1: Launch your mod manager and go under the mods tab (circled red)

 

 

 

Step 2: Hit the puzzle piece (circled red) to open and load mods

 

 

 

Step 3: Choose mod you want to load (circled red), note: you do NOT have to extract or put it ANYWHERE, as you can seeeeee i am loading a mod from my downloads folder in my desktop and that this mod is still in its zip file

 

 

 

Step 4: Select the mod you want and hit the open button (circled red)

 

 

 

Step 5: The mod will download into the manager (circled red) and when it is done it will appear under the mods tab (circled blue)

 

 

 

Step 6: Chose the mod you wanna activate and then hit the puzzle piece with the green arrow (circled red)

 

LOL msn xD

 

 

Step 7: Congratulations you did it! if you want to deactivate a mod hit puzzle piece with the green arrow

How do I keep Winzip from automatically opening my downloads?

[SummGai]

iunno i use winrar, i find it better

[gray2p]

Alright thank you.

[gregathit]

Alright thank you.

 

I use WinRAR myself and it is really good. 7.zip is pretty good too however. If you right click on a file you should get a menu to use another extraction program if you have one installed.
