SH5 Newbie needs help

quincysw · 12-22-12, 10:37 AM

I have been following Sobers mod compilation and have confirmed that I have v1.2. I have installed the Mod Enabler and downloaded the MEP file.
I then have a problem trying to extract it with 7zip so I am unable to place the list in the Mod Enabler
As I am a 70 year old I would be grateful if someone could explain what to do in simple terms.

regards

Brian

Wow, 70 years young! Congratulations Brian and welcome to Subsim!

It sounds like you're having an issue unzipping the MEP file. If that's the case was there any kind of a pop-up or error message? If not, perhaps it unzipped in a different location.

You could always try again using the 'Extract Here' option. If it still doesn't work re-download the file as the one you have might be corrupt.

Good luck and hope to see you on the high seas soon!

...or you can drag/drop the MEP file wherever you want. Usually I use winrar, but 7zip should work the same way.

I wish you a good gaming experience Brian

Sorry if I sound a little vague. I downloaded the MEP file, and it appeared on my desktop as a winrar file named sobers. I then selected Extract Here and got a white file named sobers. This is where I am confused as I can't seem to do anything with this file. If I click on it it gives an option to open it, but what do I open it with? and then what do I do

regards

Now you need to download ALL the mods in sobers list and place them (unpacked) into your mods folder.
see here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...7&postcount=26

Then when all the mods are in that MODS folder - load the profile "Sober" and that will load all the mods on the correct order

Happy Downloading
