Newb to using mods

How do I

from Sins Forums
I see all kinds of great mods. but have no idea of how to implement them once i have them downloaded. Could someone give me a step by step Dummies walk through of installing and using mods? I have no intrest  in making them just using and playing them. the 7Sins looks really intriuging.

Unzip them, then place them in you mods folder located at:

Vista:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods

Please note that some of these directories are hidden by default. To unhide them, go to Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View and set yourself to view hidden files and folders.

Note that you can only have one mod active at a time. Also make sure you're extracting with the "extract folder names" (or similar) turned on, since there's a specific folder structure that needs to be followed with mods. Extracting folder names is usually on by default in every archiver, but you never know :)
