    Hmm, it seems like a bit of a toss-up whether this should go here or in the support section, so I apologize in advance if this needs to be moved.

    Anyway, I recently picked up my copy of Sins of a Solar Empire, and of course, awesomeness ensued. But then, when I came up for air (and food), I discovered this wonderful little Star Wars mod for the game, called Sins of a Galactic Empire. Now, being the fanboy nerd that I am, I couldn't help but try it out. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work, as I am a total noob at this sort of thing.

    So, can anyone tell me just how in the hell I can get this mod (or any mod, for that matter) to work? I have all the necessary patches and software installed, and the mod downloaded; I just need to know how to get it from my documents folder to the game.

    The game says that this is the mod path I need to extract it to: " C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods ", but I know nothing about extracting .rar files, or mod paths (yes, I am that big of a noob).

    So, can anyone help me out?

    Download winrar, run it, select where you've saved the mod and then click "Extract to" in the top-left and select where you want the extracted files to go.
