Hey folks, I was trying to install Qarl's 3 1.7 gig zip file that i downloaded from http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=oblivionmods.detail&id=2363 but when I put it in Wrye Bash, it shows up as grey and won't recognize it for installing. I haven't had this problem with any other mods so far. Do I need to extract it elsewhere first, and then create a new zip file for Bash? Any ideas? thanks!

*on a side note: I also installed the Natural Faces mod in wrye bash which recognized it just fine, but when I look in BOSS and in the mods list, it doesn't show up. thoughts on this too?

You can unpack the archive of QTPIII to a project and adjust the contents of the folder from the Installers tab. In most cases a grey archive just needs the files moved so BAIN will recognise them.
Some mods have extra folders and optional meshes that need to be reorganised to work.
EDIT If you are using the version with the installer, then set it up to extract into a folder in documents, then place the folder into the installers tab where it will become a project.
