Mod files: RAR vs. esp
   

Some mods seem to d/l as compressed zip files which extract, and are added easily to the Oblivion Data directory. I have no problem using these mods. But some are d/l as single uncompressed RAR files. What do I do with these to get them to show up in the Data Files window as plugins???

RAR's are a different compression code, much like zip files. You can Google a demo program that will allow you to unpack the RAR into a regular file.

I recommend 7-Zip for all your compression/decompression needs. For some reason, WinRAR never played nice with me!
