Trouble trying to install Real Bows. Help please?

[HighPriest]

So, I'm trying to manually install the Real Bows mod (link: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64440?tab=description&BH=4), from nexus mods. I'm not very experienced at modding stuff, and I honestly can't work out why it's not working. With the other mods that I've installed from nexus, I've literally just been able to extract the file, and put it into C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data . However, I can't seem to do that with this one, and I've looked around a little and can't seem to find out any actual answers. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

(PS. I understand it's not particularly steam related, but I tend to get the best responses from here when I'm stuck.)

Well, by what I saw in the Nexus page (I don't have Skyrim, only Fallout: NV, so I can't test the mod or anything like that) inside the file there are other files inside with a number and the name of the bow, so you can choose which bows you wanna use.

You are probably extracting the whole file to inside the Data folder which is not going to do anything. You need to open each of the bows file ("001 Real Bows Daedric" and the others) and then extract whats inside them ("meshes" file) to inside the Data folder.

I believe that the number in front of each folder means that you can use only one of them, for example, you can use only one of the "001" bows folder, one of the "002" and it goes on.

I hope you could understand something from this explanation and manage to correctly install it.

EDIT: The Nexus page also don't give an installation manual too, which is a bit annoying sometimes.

Use Vortex?

Yeah, it took a while of figuring out but I managed to get it working. Thanks.
