Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Is there no readme.txt or readme.nfo type file in the archive?

If that's the mod [I'm thinking of] by Corpse, then you should PM him at NMA.

yeah the readme just says unzip to fallout folder and select use folder names for the patch to fully work you will have to start a new game previous saves will be incompatiable with the patch, so i have no idea how to move it into the fallout folder and select use folder names thing, this is the first time ive ever used winzip and added a mod so i dont know how any of the process works. but maybe ill try pming this corpse guy

There's enough information in the readme... Here's what you do:

1.) Install Winzip

2.) Open the mod archive (the .zip file)

3.) Click the Extract button

4.) Type the path to your fallout directory in the space provided, or browse to it.

5.) Make sure the sub-folders checkbox is checked.

6.) Extract!
