.RAR files don't work?


Recommended Posts

Posted

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!

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.

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.
