Are the files saved somewhere on your computer?
If yes, then they are downloaded, and all you have to do is right click the zip files to extract them (7-zip will appear on the dialogue box - then move the mouse pointer to it and it will open additional options. Choose "extract files".)
Once you have extracted the files, you just need to left click and drag them into a runtime folder. Where you choose to locate this folder is up to you, but if you choose to have the Poser runtime inside the "Program Files" directory, you may encounter permission problems. So it's easier to have it in "My Documents" or in the C: drive.
So, to summarize, you don't download files into Poser. You download files to your computer, then you extract them, then you move them or copy them into a runtime that you will tell Poser to use.
Again:
Download files to your computer.
Extract files using 7-zip or WinZip or whatever.
Move or copy (you do not need to download them again) those files into your Poser runtime directory.
Which part is giving you trouble? Do you not know how to move or copy files? If that is the part that is confusing you, then please read the link attached to this post.
The part I'm having trouble with is the Runtime folder part. How many of these folders can you have and which ones will Poser accept? I created a Runtime folder on my desktop and entered Victoria 4 in it. I was able to get that folder to be accepted by Poser, but can't seem to get another one created the same way. I will try creating one and having it in "My Documents" folder, but I am not sure if it will work. Do you go about intitling them "My Runtime Folders" or what exactly? I believe that's where I am confused.
