Installing Minecraft Forge and Mods is not easy at all - Need help badly!

[jmhunt]

Maybe I'm just really stupid but the amount of time and effort I'm spending trying to activate one mod is insane.

 

I would like to install this mod:

http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/mb-battlegear-2

 

I got here to get Minecrat Forge:

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,5.0.html

 

I click "Direct>Installer" - Once downloaded, I open it with Java and click "Install Client"

 

After I do this, nothing happens. It acts like it installed but says it got 0 libraries, which doesn't seem correct. Going into minecraft I see no difference at all, nothing in my resource packs except "Default".

 

I have also tried just dragging and dropping the downloaded file into my minecraft.jar folder (using 7zip), but again, nothing changes.

 

Also note that I have the latest Minecraft version, but I tell it to use 1.6.4 in the "Edit Profile".

 

Any ideas? Help would be GREATLY appreciated!

 

Thank you.

-.- If you tell it to use '1.6.4' in the profile it'll use 1.6.4.

You need to tell it to use '1.6.4-Forge{whatever}'

The forge versions are added a long side the normal versions so they can live in peace.

Or, you could use the 'Forge' profile that is added for you automatically.
