How to Install 7-Zip (Unzip Folders and Extract Rar files)
Mods and CC can come in forms of Rar, ZIP, and 7z files. These need to be extracted in order for them to work in your game.
7-Zip is a downloaded *FREE* application for your computer. This application allows you to open RAR and ZIP and 7z files.
Download 7-Zip here: https://www.7-zip.org/
Installing 7-Zip: 0:09
Unzipping and Extracting Zip folders and Rar files: 1:47
If the "extract" option doesn't show up when you right-click (options): 3:19
Before I found out about this FREE app, I’d use an online website, but it has a maximum number of files you can open a day. So you can check that out HERE, if you don’t want to download anything onto your computer; however, this does take more time!
Downloading 7Zip is so much easier!
