Hey guys, just a quick noob question. I'm downloading the 4GB mod for Skyrim that lets you more RAM for the game, but how exactly do I make it work? I'm not that good with mods, so do I have to extract the .exe file to another folder or something? Thanks for your help! EDIT: Here's the mod just in case: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013
It's one of the easiest mods NOT to install. Download the mod, extract files (.rar file), to a new folder. You can start Skyrim 4GB .exe from the folder at any time. No need to put these files in the main Skyrim game directory. Boom. Done. :)

I think this is the case where it's so easy it's complicated.

Not sure about desktop, but you can create a "new folder" one the desktop and extract files to the new folder. It's that simple and easy. :)

All right I just played Skyrim for a bit using this mod, and I didn't crash so far, but even before I only had 3-4 crashes in my 50 hours of game time. But either way, I think it's working if it takes you right past the launcher and straight into the part where you load your game. Thanks for the help. Elann. :)

Dragged the new exe to my Win7 bar on the bottom for easy access

Elann. :) I click the skyrim4gb.exe and it brings up the option that lats me choose graphic settings or start playing. Should it be doing that?

As long as it brings you straight into the logo screen where the options are "Continue, New, Load, etc.".
