remixedmeowmix Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Hi, I've downloaded lots of CC and mods and all of which work so nicely, except any .RAR files. I don't understand if I'm missing something there? I've downloaded them from this site and a few others, and literally zero of them have ever worked. Does anyone have a good explanation or solution for this?Thanks!
myuhinny Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Try updating your extractor. Many use 7zip to extract files if you are using it try updating it and seeing if that works.
Akzyra Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 7-zip is indeed the best free archive tool. WinRAR is good, but you get a slightly annoying message to buy it, but is still works the same. Then make sure the .rar extension is set up to be opened by 7-zip/WinRAR. For 7-zip you want '7zFM.exe', not '7z.exe'. The last is for command line. DO NOT use archive extractors from the Windows Store! Any other extractors are not really better/needed except for special use-cases.
Uncle64 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Also if you use one mod tool like NMM/MO you dont need to unpack them and install by hand. Since they can unpack rar files. Recommended is to use one mod tool.
