Hello,

 

I promise I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure this out. I think I'm doing everything right, but I can't seem to get some mods to load. Maybe because I'm a stupid dad trying to figure this out for my kids? LOL

 

See the following pic:

 

 

How come any mods we download which are .jar will load, but not any that are in .zip?

 

I've tried unzipping those files and placing in the mods folder too, but still doesn't work.

 

Surely there is one very small thing I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

We do not support 1.5.2, if you want to play that old of a version you're on your own.

Hey, sorry, but I posted a question at this thread :http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,31016.0.html

 

but it got locked so I could not ask any follow up questions.

 

The response was "We do not support 1.5.2, if you want to play that old of a version you're on your own."

 

But, they are using Minecraft 1.8.7; NOT 1.5.2

 

As well as the latest Forge currently up for download (forge-1.8-11.14.3.1446-installer-win)

 

Thanks!

They may be but the mods they are trying to use are 1.5.2 mods.

They have not follow the rules and posted logs.

They are not following the install instructions for their mods.
