Stalker SGM 2.2 help please

[ᛉᛏKOMMANDO97ᛏᛉ]

So i've been trying to install Sigerous mod 2.2, (language not a problem for me) But i realised that i cant find a signle damn installation tutorial for steam users. I understand that you have to delete some gamedata folder?
Yeah well i cant find it. Program Files (x86)> steam> steamapps> common> stalker call of pripyat> its not there. It does have a folder called _appdata_ though. so I'm no sure if its that one i have to delete or not. Guys please help.

I've never used it, but deleting a gamedata folder is bad. Unless you're trying to reset the mod and reverify the cache, but if you do that, you have to install the mod again. Are you trying to change the .ltx folder to True| True?

No actually, i dont even know what to do, thats the point. donwloadingn the actual mod is as far as i have gone :D

you sure you downloaded the mod from a good source?
normally you should be able to just install it, if you cant, you downloaded a bad file.
thats the one i got and worked fine:

I have not gotten a single installer at all in any download, even Moddb, my preferred modding site and everything and everybody is telling me i should have an installer. it's been a year and nothing has followed up on this discussion. has it been resolved?

I run this no probs not on steam tho. Is it a zip file? Thats the only one i use 'cause the installer always screws up and doesn't work properly, eg: cant find installation.

So, download the zip file, extract to a temp folder somewhere, the folder you just extracted should say something like, SGM 2.2 all in one english (if your using english version), inside that folder is the gamedata folder. SGM read me tells you to back-up your BIN folder because it makes changes to it, do so.

Copy and paste that gamedata folder to the main directory of your game. If you have not used any other mods then there will be NO gamedata folder, it DOES NOT EXIST in the base game, if there is a gamedata folder just delete it or cut it out putting backed-up files back in first before pasting the new gamedata folder in.(Verify Cache i guess?!) Run the game and it should be good to go.

If you ever remove the mod, ie, delete the gamedata folder you will have to copy/paste your original backed-up BIN folder back in or prepare for the worst.

All the mods for these games are in a gamedata folder, as stated above they DO NOT EXIST in the base game.

I upgraded from Complete to SGM and it works perfect.

There is no installer for SGM like the one for Misery.
To install SGM you just have to unzip the file you downloaded (which contains a GAMEDATA folder) and then copy and paste this gamedata folder to your CoP installation folder.
Thats all there is to it.
