It doesn't let me use it when I downloaded it. Can you help?
SDT modding is
not very user-friendly, when compared to something more mainstream such as Skyrim. We don't have one-click installers, and mods usually
won't warn you about missing prerequisites (
@sby is a noteworthy exception; he
does tend to include such warnings in his code).
Mike's thread is located in the "
Loader Imports" subforum. That subforum pertains to the
SDT Loader, which is a special extension framework that wraps around the
baseline SDT game. Mods which are intended to work with the base game are called "vanilla" mods; they can be used with the Loader also. We recommend that everyone
use the Loader rather than the base game, because the Loader gives you access to the full range of SDT mods (including some game-changing stuff, such as
animtools and
advanced dialogue mods). It also helps to cut down on the number of
"why doesn't this mod work for me?" threads.
I would recommend that you read through the
Newbie Guide. It ought to resolve some of your confusion and help you to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future.
