@tofuboi86

Please, be more specific. Which BG are we talking about and what did you get as a result
of extracting the ZIP into the mod folder, which name?

@tofuboi86

BG = Short for BackGround. That extracted .scs mod should be visible in the Mod Manager and possible to activate.
Can you post your latest game log, please? Look here how to:

@tofuboi86

In the same folder as your config.cfg file or one level up from your mod folder.
The name is game.log.txt!

@tofuboi86

Not there, stay away from that folder. I assume you know where your mod folder is located.
Go there and then ONE LEVEL UP. There it is!

@tofuboi86

Have you created a mod folder there, DO NOT DO THAT, it isn't there your mods should be. Look under Documents!
The game has already created a whole folder structure for you there!
