Winzip works, and 7 zip really compresses well.

If you want to create a mod file to put on the internet or on Nexus, simply go to your Fallout 4/data folder, copy/paste the file somewhere else, and then zip it. If you want to install it in game, just go to VORTEX and click Mods>Install from file> and then direct Vortex to your fallout 4/Data directory, select it, and VORTEX will ask you if you want it to create that file as a mod.

To extract it and save it for yourself, simply copy/pasta it wherever you want. Now that new mod has been moved to Fallout 4/Data. If it has MORE than that, make sure you ONLY check the box with the NEW MERGED MOD NAME in it and press Ok. The window should have ONLY your new merged mod name in it with a checkmark. TO save, simple close FO4edit in the top right corner (click the x) you will then get a new pop up window. Once things MATCH and are satisfactory, you are done and ready to save. If all is done correctly, they should MATCH. Click on the plus sign, it will open a window that compared the data in one mod, with the new merged mod.

You will have to tell it where to place the files, I leave it in the default fallout 4/data location.

IF you placed all FO4 edit files in /Fallout 4 what you want should be there. Now copy all of the files inside the merged plugins folder Since you put Fo4edit into the/Fallout 4 directory ? right - important step for these instructions. You are going to copy/pasta the Merge Plugins 1.9 file contents, but let me say where. In steam, its Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 4.
