What can I use this information for?

This information is especially useful when looking for a way to open a specific file. If you already have Safari installed on your computer, you can check which file extensions it supports and look for the data you need in this specific format (or to what format you should convert the data so that you can open them in the Safari).

I do not have a Safari yet. Where should I get it?

By far the most safe way is to download Safari directly from the developers's website. If you are going to download the Safari from a website that offers a database of downloadable software, you have to reckon with the fact that when you install it on your computer, you will also install the unwanted extras. Please, pay special attention to this.

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?

File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option 'Hide extensions for known file types'. The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.

This tutorial will describe the process of extracting files from Skyrim's BSA (Bethesda Softworks Archive) files. The extracted files will allow you to access the animations, models, sounds / voices and textures.

Prerequisites

  • Figure out where Steam is installed. Hopefully you installed it someplace outside of the default 'Program Files' folder if you are using Vista or Windows 7 (due to UAC issues when modding)
    • Default for 64-bit systems --> C:Program Files (x86)Steam
    • Default for 32-bit systems --> C:Program FilesSteam
    • My computer (hehehe) --> D:AppsSteam
  • Figure out where you are going to store the unpacked files and make sure you have enough room to hold them.
    • Example: E:GamesSkyrimout

Here is a list of the BSA files, how big they are and how much space the files consume once extracted:

BSA Filename Packed Size Extracted Size
Skyrim - Animations.bsa 41 MB 85 MB
Skyrim - Interface.bsa 34 MB 34 MB
Skyrim - Meshes.bsa 1,485 MB 2,990 MB
Skyrim - Misc.bsa 173 MB 176 MB
Skyrim - Shaders.bsa 25 MB 26 MB
Skyrim - Sounds.bsa 931 MB 953 MB
Skyrim - Textures.bsa 1,356 MB 2,381 MB
Skyrim - Voices.bsa 1,424 MB 1,455 MB
Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa 13 MB 13 MB

Install BSAopt

  1. There is not an installer so you just need to extract the contents somewhere and run the program inside.
  2. Extract the BSAopt archive someplace such as C:AppsBSAopt
  3. Be sure to run the program that matches your operating system. 'BSAopt x64.exe' for 64-bit versions of Windows, 'BSAopt x32.exe' for 32-bit versions.
  4. You can create a shortcut to the program if you want but odds are, you will not be using it again after extracting the BSA files.


Unpack BSA Files

  1. Start BSAOpt
  2. Click the 1st Browse button at the top
  3. Browse to Skyrim's Data folder <<Steam Folder>>steamappscommonSkyrimData
  4. Double-click on a BSA such as 'Skyrim - Meshes.bsa' and wait for it to load
  5. Select *.* from the dropdown selection and click the Apply button next to it
  6. Click the green checkmark button to select all files
  7. Click the 2nd Browse button at the bottom
  8. Browse to the folder you wish to store the extracted files and click the 'Use Folder' button and wait for it to skim through the archive
  9. Click the Convert button at the bottom-right corner and wait for it to process all the files
  10. To extract more at this point, simply repeat the above steps


Configure NifSkope

It would be a good idea to configure NifSkope to look in the folder where you extracted the textures. When you open a NIF file that uses textures that shipped with the game, NifSkope will not be able to look inside a BSA to show you the textures, you will need to re-direct it to look in your 'out' folder.

  1. Start NifSkope
  2. On the menu, click Render, then Settings
  3. On the Rendering tab, click the Add Folder button to add a new path to the texture search path.
  4. With 'Choose a folder' selected, click the 'Folder' button below it and select the folder where you extracted the 'Skyrim - Textures.bsa' file. Example: E:GamesSkyrimout
  5. Close the Settings dialog box
  6. Now when you open one of the NIF models in your 'out' folder, NifSkope should be able to find and apply the texture to the model (instead of looking at a white object)

Example: Open E:GamesSkyrimOutMeshesWeaponsglassglasssword.nif
