    I'm way behind here... I know it. First off, I've no clue where to download Weidu. I'm assuming that there'll be a readme to tell me how to use it to install mods, but... If it's possible, I'd like a simple explanation here, I don't plan on ever modding with it, I just want to try some of the mods that require Weidu only.

    You don't need to download weiDU in order to install the mods. Just download the mod, run the installer for the mod, and follow the instructions (especially the one that says you need to run it again, "because it can't do it for you". I have no idea why, but I suspect Weimer (who wrote weiDU) has a cruel steak to him.)

    Oh, well I just downloaded one of the mods and it was a notepad file...

    Should I maybe re-download it?

    Luiz's mod.

    Figured out my problem was the lack of having win.rar on my new computer.

    If anything WinRar can be found here

    I had it on my computer already, along with all my utility files like it from my old comp, just forgot to install it haha!!

    But thanks for the link. On a normal day I would've been too lazy to get the file myself :p .

    Hmmm, I might make it a self-extracting archive in future so folks don't need to mess about with WinRar. Sorry 'bout that.

    It would be a matter of getting around Windows and antivirus protections prohibiting executables from running amok.
