Noob question about Mods

I know this may be a noob question but when I try to install multiple mods the "mod.xml" and "spelldb.xml" always try to replace each other. What can I do to try and make this work?

 

Only unzip the mods if the zip contains a folder with the mod's name. If the zip just has mod, skill, sprites, etc. folders, just put the zip in your mod folder.

 

I put the zip in the mod folder and there's still no option to select them in the launcher

 

I also

I also tried unzipping and putting the folder in and still no dice

 

Tell me what OS you have and what the full path to your mods folder is.

 

Forget it I got it

 

How on Earth can people find the mods and somehow manage to overlook this thread?

It is stickied at the top of the modding section. If you still have not checked it out, you really should.
