Xpac, how to get them to install

Post » Thu Dec 26, 2013 5:26 pm

Hello,

I have Skyrim already and have about 100 hours in, I just got the Elder Scrolls Anthology for Christmas and it has the Legendary Edition of Skyrim which has all the xpacs, my question is how to I install them. When I put the disc in it doesn't give me an option to just install the xpacs. Do I have to go through Steam somehow? If so, how would I do this or would I need to uninstall then re-install the game?

Thank you

Actually you should activate the new legendary key.

In the Steam client, at the top menu, click Games, "Activate a Product on Steam...", put in your key, and it'll add it to your library.

So your DLC's should be registered as Legendary Edition in the library.

You saves shouldn't be a problem, but back them up for any case: C:\Users\[Your Name]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim

If you want to install them from disk, after you finish the Activation just put the DVD in your drive and:

  1. Log in to Steam and click on Library.
  2. Right-click on the game, select Delete local content, and confirm.
  3. Insert the disc into your computer.
  4. Close Steam (Steam > Exit).
  5. Press Windows Key + R to open Run
  6. In the Run window type:
  7. "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E: (32 bit operating system)---------OR "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E: (64 bit operating system)
  8. Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct.
    Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.
  9. Press OK. Steam will launch and ask you to sign in if you do not have your password saved. Your installation should continue from the disc.
