Did you install the mods with the Bootleg040 configurator?

The "mods" folder should be inside the parent directory. Inside the mods folder there should be another folder. What's its name? If it's "DK" everything's fine. If you can't find any "mods" folder I suggest you backup the saves first (if you have any progress done) and uninstall everything, delete the game folder, reinstall the game and Configure Bootleg or run the Bootleg configurator again with your custom saved settings.Then post the configurator log to see what happened.
 
If i install all the mods together and place them into the FF7 folder, will that create a directory?
 
See Tifa's Bootleg thread for a detailed run-down of installing mods using PitBrat's installer, as well as the relevant links to downloads.

This is what I used, however on here it says after installing FF7 2012, and extracting Tifa's Bottleg into it, I should have an FF7/mod file which I do not have. I have 4 files, Data, shaders, plugins, Botleg Custome models, no Mods folder anywhere in sight :P

Should i start over from scratch ? I don't want to risk having to redownload all the mods again :/
 
Just run Bfe.exe and it will do all the work for you. After you select the options you prefer click on run bootleg. If you have more questions read Tifa's instructions.
 
I just did that and it begins asking me what skins i want tp use, asking me to enter 1,2,3,4, etc and then it just closes, still no mods. might reinstall :/
 
i#ve installed it before and I had the folder FF7/mods ..
-downloaded and installed game
-extracted bootleg
I had the mods folder then i'm sure, however this time i have none, i'm waiting for the 3 gig mods folder atm but have no FF7/mods to put them in once they're downloaded :/
 
Step 2: Open "Bootleg040.zip" and extract here: C:\Games\FF7Mods
Click to expand...
"FF7Mods" is one Folder, not a File.
You should have two Folders in "C:\Games", one "FF7" (the game itself) and another "FF7Mods".

TIP: Place your downloaded mods into the same folder as Bootleg: C:\Games\FF7Mods

I have downloaded all the mods, but they still show as red. What's wrong?
The Installation tab isn't configured correctly.

Point "Destination Location" to the game's main installation folder.
Click to expand...
Eg "C:\Games\FF7\"

Point "Mod Source" to the folder with the downloaded mods.
Click to expand...
Eg "C:\Games\FF7Mods\"

Point "Bootleg.exe Location" to the folder with the Bootleg files.
Click to expand...
Eg "C:\Games\FF7Mods\"

Point "Temporary Files" to anywhere you wish. The default location given is fine.
Click to expand...
Eg "C:\Users\[ your name ]\AppData\Local\Temp"

There is no FF7/mod folder that's what I mean.
Sorry but all the quoting just confused the shit out of me.  Here's a step by step of what I have done as of now..

Bought the game from Enix website..
Downloaded and installed it as described.
Downloaded Bootleg.40 and extracted it into games/ff7 [There is no Ff7 mod to extract into..

After the extraction I was hoping it would appear but didn't. I'm still at the same position as before, i've installed and downloaded the game 4 times tonite.. it's now half 7 in the morning and i'm becomming very tired, restless and agitated...

I know where the folder is supposed to be, it'#s just not there, even after reinstalling the game and reextracting the files, still no ff7/mod.

I opened the configurator hoping it would magically create this file and all I get is
'Choose Clouds appearance in the field' etc followed by a choice of numbers, this then ends abruptly after like 5 of them.

Does it appear after i've downloaded and extracted the massive file of mods? So confused right now.
 
Which folder do you have in "C:\Games"?

The folder "C:\Games\FF7mods" should be entered when you unzip.

And it should not a / be there.
 
Local Disk C > Games > FINAL FANTASY VII

That is all is in the entire of my c/games ..

Perhaps it hasn't converted to the 1998 version? :/
 
BASICALLY, the problem is that when I install FF7 from my email, directly from Enix there is no FF7mods along side FF7 within the c:\games folder :/ there's just 'FINAL FANTASY IIV' I can't convert it when there's nowhere to extract Bootleg. This sucks :< been trying to do it all night. What a nightmare :(
 
Perhaps it hasn't converted nothing

In which folder is "Bootleg.exe"?
In which folder the whole mods have landed, you've loaded down?
 
The mods are still downloading, it's 3 gig.. it's taken hours. Bootleg.exe is in
c:\games\Final Fantasy IIV
After the fourth time of having no c:\games\FF7mods I decided to try and extract it into 'Final Fnatasy IIV'
I basically need to install FF7 and have an FF7mods folder right? well there isn't any. Could it be the link in my email ? different client.. I really don't know but my brain is farting everywhere. I'm more sad i'm off back to work tomorrow and i've wasted a whole 10 hours or so :<
 
The bootleg.0.40 mods are also in that file because there's no FF7mods folder to extract that into :<
 
Bootleg.exe is in c:\games\Final Fantasy IIV

That's not very nice but also go to the emergency from there.
Actually, you should create the folder "c:\games\FF7mods" by yourself when unzip.

So you have to choose for "Destination Location", "Mod Source" and "Bootleg.exe Location" the same folder:
c:\games\Final Fantasy IIV
 
How do I create \ff7mods folder?
unzip bootleg via bit torrent and create the folder from there or create the folder and then unzip into that folder ?

Should I just change the three locations to the same folder or create a serperate mods folder, if so how do i create this folder. Simplify as much as possible, not slept for like 15 hours.

PS thank you to all that have contributed in helping, I appreciate it so much :D
