Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Wasn't sure if some mods were required or something like that. Well you've been a huge help, I'm pretty sure I can figure the rest out from here. Thanks a bunch =)

Yep I'm pretty sure that's what the problem was cause now most of the mods are working!!! Some of them aren't though. Is there a reason for this? It seems like there are multiple mods for changing the character models in the default catalog, but only 1 of them works. The "Miscellaneous - CHaOS mod works but it seems the battle model - characters does not.

I activated them and would run the game and after the initial cutscene there were still no changes =\. I saw the files were downloading into the correct folder It's just when I press launch game there are still no changes.

I'm gonna try another clean install now and see what happens. wish me luck!

Yeah I'm pretty sure I have the paths set right. When I "activate" a mod is it supposed to move the files to another folder? I'm not quite sure how that all works. I just know that after downloading and installing textures from the catalog the files go into the "Library". I assumed that the files are supposed to be moved to the gamedirectory\mods\Textures folder when I hit activate if I have the paths set right, but nothing happens.

I apologize for being a super noob at this, I know I'm probably WAY off in the understanding of how this tool works. Thanks for trying to help though =)

7th Heaven / Problem with mods on start up

So. I've spent the last 12 hours of my free time trying to figure out how to mod FFVII with the 7th Heaven tool and to no avail....
I have literally done everything in the tutorial from a clean install about 20 times with the same problem each time. If anyone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate it. 

Here's what I've been doing
1-Clean install of the game (steam version) on a non system folder named FFVIIDISK1
2-run FF7 game converter (as administrator) to game directory.
3-Test sound and check settings
4-mount the FF7 iso via daemon tools
5-Unzip the 7th heaven zip file and run as administrator
6-correct the openGL driver config to match my settings and resolution.
7-change settings under workshop to the 4 folders listed in the tutorial, and copy the subscription link to the box provided, Also check the bottom 2 boxes
8-click on "check subscriptions now"
9-hit search under catalog
10-download mods by clicking on the download button
11-hit search under library and activate mods
12-rearrange mods under active mods in the order mentioned in the tutorial.
13-configure each mod individually under active mods.
14-press launch game
aaaaand nothing happens. It just runs vanilla FFVII with my modifications to the openGL driver

Am I supposed to me moving the files myself after they are downloaded via 7th heaven? It seems like the mods are just downloaded into one folder. I've set all 4 of the directories to the paths that are mentioned in the tutorial.

I think I'm missing some crucial step before I start downloading the mods, but I really have no idea whats wrong.

Another thought is that maybe I'm doing something wrong with the converter? Is this the same thing that would happen if I had tried to run the 7th heaven tool with the wrong version of the game?

BTW, I've has 0 problems running mods with BFE but I cant seem to figure out how to use custom models with that. I also like the idea of installing and uninstalling mods without having to reinstall everything.

But anyway, ANY advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to give up.  . I just cant afford to spend too much more time working on this =\.
