-;BSA (Bethesda Softworks Archive) : BSA files are archives that contain game data. [[Glossary#M|Mod]] creators who wish to create custom [[:Category:Meshes|meshes]] and/or [[:Category:Textures|textures]], or alter existing ones, will first need to ''unpack'' the game's BSA files. Programs with the ability to unpack BSA files are listed here: [[BSA Unpackers]].
-==Extracting==
-Before committing to extracting the files, you should know the base game install is 4.7 GB and by extracting ''''all'''' the BSA files, you will need another 5.2 GB
-You don't have to extract everything. You can extract just the groups or files you need, here's a breakdown of file sizes for the various groups:
-* Meshes: 1.27 GB
-* Sounds: 1.97 GB (1.66 GB for voices, 315 MB for sound effects)
-* Textures: 1.92 GB
-* The rest (menus, facegen, trees & distantlod) are only 11 MB.
