DLing official plugins?

ANSWERED, LOCK PLEASE :)


When I click on the official plugins for TES III http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_plugins.htm, my downloading window pops up like normal and saves the fils to my computer. When I start up Morrowind and click Data Files to activate the plugins, none of them are there. Help?

Are you extracting the contents of those zip files to your Morrowind directory? Have you checked your "Morrowind/Data Files" subfolder to see if the ESP files for the plugins are there?

I tried putting firemoth into the deepest Data Files folder an opening morrowind, nothing. So I moved it back through each data files folder opening morrowind each time... Still nothing. Even when it was in the same folder as my personal mods it didn't show up.

You need to extract the files (when you download them they're compressed) and place them the folder in your Morrowind directory called 'Data Files.'

Eh? You shouldn't have more than one Data Files folder within the Morrowind folder. And you are extracting the contents of the zip file? Not just moving the zip file itself around?

I got it on like the 10th try, thanks. I've got 3 folders called "Data Files" in my morrowind folder for some reason lol... Every time I unziped it it was going into the second data files folder and I finally noticed it. I just deleted the second "data files\" and it worked.
