      Sure, glad to help!

      I'm going to write the steps in a very basic manner--probably 95% you will think "of course..." but it is the only way to be sure.

      First step is to make sure you have correctly located your Viking Conquest folder. If you have Steam, it might look something like this:

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MountBlade Warband\Modules\Viking Conquest

      What you want to make sure of is that it is filled with text files called things like "scripts.txt" "mission_templates.txt", nearly 40 little text files in all, as well as a bunch of folders called things like "textures" "sounds" "resources", about 10 folders.

      Once you have that open in one window, then download a full-install version of this mod. It will be an archive file, once it is downloaded, open the archive (using a program like winrar), and you will then have a bunch of text files, about 33 I think that show up, again having names like "scripts.txt" "mission_templates.txt".

      Select all 33 of those text files, and drag them over into your Viking Conquest folder located in the first step. Since the files have the same names, you will be prompted to overwrite, say Yes to all.

      Ok, if that doesn't work for some reason, then let me know what is happening to the files, because I think it has to overwrite if they have the same name, so long as you don't have some option set to "keep both versions" or something.

      Ok, instructions to remove the mod: 2 methods, first is to save a backup of all your text files before overwriting. But really, it isn't needed, easiest is to just delete the "Viking Conquest" folder that contains the text files (do NOT delete your saved game folder, which is elsewhere), then tell Steam to "verify integrity of game files" and it will redownload the viking conquest vanilla files, or if you purchased the game through another method, just reinstall it through that method.

      So just dropping the mod's files into a folder in the Data folder won't work?

      nope the textbook, the modules/data folder is already far too deep into the file structure the game WILL be looking at the files in the modules/viking conquest folder NOWHERE ELSE
