You should be able to install SH3 into E as you want it without problem. I believe the career files will end up in your My Documents (apparently on your D drive) during the install. You shouldn't have to move anything really.

I'd thought you were trying to get files off your C drive, sorry for the confusion.

Oh, there is no confusion. I have a new copy of SH3 because the other one is scratched too much, so I will install the SH3 in drive E: Once installed, I will then move the SH3 folder from drive c: which has all my installed mods and data files, etc.

Yet another example of copy protection hurting the legitimate user (having to pay twice) when the real bad guys simply copy a cracked version

Good evening, gents! Although I'm a "newbie" here, some of you may know me as "Oldgamer" at the Total War Center.

I like the website, and this thread has been most useful. I do have a question:

When I download some of the mods, I get the following, instead of a .zip or a .rar file: NYGM_TW__V2.2_Full_Version.7z (and this is just an example). I can't open the file, and it doesn't come with instructions on where to put it or what to do with it.

Am I doing something wrong with the download? What's the answer?

(NOTE: I helped out with Rome: Total Realism, and I'm quite familiar with working with mods and files. I just can't figure out these files that aren't .zip or .rar.)

EDIT: Bilge rat?

http://www.7-zip.org/

It's a similar but different file-compression software than WinZip or .rar is.
