Sorry for the late reply. I've been trying to do this between customers at work lol.
But oooh okay I was confused about that because different guides say different things sometimes but now I've got everything (BETHini, LOOT, xEdit) in my D:\Games\Modding\Tools
and I was still on Step 2 in the Tool Setup in my earlier message. I just saw I needed a program called xLODGen in this table so I went to the download page and followed the installation instructions but got stuck on that part I mentioned earlier. Did I miss something in between all that? I wanna make sure I'm getting everything perfect. I updated my graphics drivers and everything too.
