Know that Win at 1 time, included a zip app/program, to zip up files & such or to unzip them... & called it winzip...

Nowadays, is a couple of others out there, such as 7zip... so, not relegated to just using winzip.


That said, if you want to be able to use the mod, after grabbing & downloading it or them, then yeah... gonna need a means to unzip them, afterwards.

Myself, I use 7zip & it works fine... is pretty straight forward to use... but... that's just My own opinion on it.



Hope this helps...

7zip is free, I've used it for years.

These days Windows can open .zip files by itself. But not other file compression tool formats. 7-zip is indeed the most useful and free one without nag-screens that want you to register to purchase it. It can handle a whole bunch of file formats used to keep files together and with less storage consumption.
