Gamedata Folder Missing

[heavy gaming]

I have spent hours uninstalling and reinstalling Clear Skies, and have verified the game many times. But the gamedata folder will not appear. Can someone help me out?

Well, it won't appear unless you unpack game's data. It's packed in game's data files, which you have to unpack to actually see "gamedata" folder and it's content.

Do you know how I can do this?

Where would the input and output go?

Here's step by step instructions.

You don't need a specific gamedata folder to edit things. Think of it as a designated override folder.

You don't even really need to unpack the files if you only want to do light editing. Any file you put in gamedata that has a copy in a packed file will be preferred over the packed version.

So I did what you recommended and the game still wont launch. The entire gamedata folder is still empty.
