Mods packed this way are already simple BAIN packages! They may contain any number of masters or plugins or assets, but their manual installation would just be drag-and-drop. When you pack a mod for distribution, you put all its files in a mock Data folder and archive it so that the user can extract it right into their Data folder. You can change this folder's location at any time in bash.ini, which you create by duplicating & renaming the bash_default.ini located in the Data\Mopy folder. This is where you will drop your archives (7z/rar/zip files) of mods. Bash will ask you if you want to enable Installers, say yes!īash will create a folder for you called Oblivion Mods or Skyrim Mods parallel to your root game folder.
Once Bash has launched, click on the Installers tab. If Bash doesn't start and you are using the Python version, switch to the Standalone version unless you want to troubleshoot Python. This guide assumes you have downloaded & installed Wrye Bash, and you are able to launch it successfully. Your mod-using (and mod-making, if applicable) is about to get so much easier.
