Validate the archive package, naming scheme, and directory structure using your mod manager or 7zip. Observe if the downloaded mod package is properly structured or configured for installation. Detailed information on proper mod package structure for WB can be found [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Wrye_Bash#tab=BAIN_Installers here]. Mod Organizer can also use BAIN type installations; however, FOMODs are preferred. | Validate the archive package, naming scheme, and directory structure using your mod manager or 7zip.

Using your mod manager, take note of any conflicts that appear against vanilla Skyrim files and other STEP mods. The process is different for each mod manager so you should be familiar how to do this in your chosen manager (MO is the recommend manager for testing). For mods with BSA archives, you'll need to extract these archives into loose files before you'll be able to see the conflicts. This can be done easily using BSAopt for WB users. MO gives you the option to extract BSAs during installation of the mod. | Using your mod manager, take note of any conflicts that appear against vanilla Skyrim files and other STEP mods.
