Hi everyone,
This isn't strictly a Divinity 2 question, but since I am looking through mods for this game, and the problem I have is with all games I mod, I thought I'd ask here. No problem if you can't answer it or if this needs to be moved!
So, when I was looking at a mod for Divinity 2, it said the usual "extract zip file to [insert name] folder." The most common of mod installations, right?
I've never been able to do this correctly! It's not that I haven't ever modded--I usually have to manually move the files. But when I try to extract the zip file to something like "data" folder in a game, what happens is the extraction creates another data folder IN the data folder. I usually have to cut the contents of that new folder and repaste them. Does that make sense? I feel like I've tried, then, extracting one folder above the specified folder, but that doesn't work either.
Where am I going wrong? I'm old, my brain doesn't work like it used to, etc., etc.
A semi-visual:
When I extract I get a line like this: game directory-->data folder-->(new) data folder
It should just be overwriting that first data, not creating a new one. When I try to extract to just the game directory, it doesn't seem to distribute the contents correctly.
