So, i was able to install the lazylib, magiclib and nexerelin mod successfully after a day and a HALF, now i require help in installing the UAF mod, i tried to do the same method i did with the lazylib and the rest of the mods but it wont work unfortunately because the UAF mod is in a word file, please again i require the help of you guys, the fractal softworks forum in installing the UAF mod, i may seem annoying i know but again, please have patience as this is my 1st time EVER using mods.

Install 7zip.

Download the mod.

7zip should show up when you rightclick the archive you downloaded.

Choose extract files...

Start the Starsector launcher.

Select the Mods button down at the bottom.  Check the mod you want activate.  Click save.

Then start Starsector normally.

press the ... button and navigate to your starsector\mods folder.

Then press extract.

Start the Starsector launcher.  Select the mods button on the bottom.  Check the mod you just installed.  Click save.

Start Starsector normally.

You will likely have to start a new game for all the features to work right, especially faction mods.  If you install it into an ongoing game, it will take a few game months for the stuff to start showing in markets, if it shows up at all.

If your computer was put together before 2012, use the 32 bit.  Otherwise, use the 64 bit .exe file.

[Medic1153]

64 bit by ARM64 or the other 64 bit?

[Aramoro]

ARM64 is for ARM processors

If u don't know what that is, ur probably not running an Arm processor.

[Medic1153]

Alright then.

Don't forget to install any prerequisite mods too.

[Medic1153]

The mod only requires nexerelin, lazylib, magiclib and graphicslib to be installed before installing it

[Brainwright]

According to here, the UAF mod is a .rar file, which is an archive.  You should still be able to right click and extract it.

And editing your original post does not register as a new post, so most people won't notice it.

I tried that, did not work the same way as with the nexerelin mod or lazylib that and i am now having trouble aswell installing the graphicslib mod now.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here, where are you installing the mods? You said that UAF is different from nex and lazy lib but I just tried downloading the UAF mod and I got it installed the exact same way as I've done every other mod in a few minutes. You just open the .rar file and extract the folder inside into the Starsector mods folder (the directory should be something like C:/"Where ever you installed it"/Fractal Softworks/Starsector/mods). After that you enable them when you open the launcher before you start the game.

The only reason I could see that could be a problem is if you aren't installing the mods to that location or are just moving the .rar files into the folder without extracting them first.

Here is an excellent video that shows you how to install mods.



This process really should take you only a few minutes.
