installment guide
1. Create a folder named RR_Mod in an installation location of your choice (e.g C:/RR_Mod).
2. Extract all the content in the .rar file to there
3. Create a shortcut from the lotrbfme2ep1.exe file in your vanilla RotWK folder
4. Right-Click the shortcut
5. Go into the shortcut's properties and edit the Target box so that at the end of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" there is -mod "C/:RR_Mod". don't touch the 'start in'.
IMPORTANT: make sure that between the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" and -mod there is a spacebar
6. Click apply and close the shortcut's properties. patch the game to 2.02 8.4.0. You can now launch the mod from that shortcut.

thank you amaizing mod
Thank you for liking it!
Clueless as to what I've managed to do wrong but I cannot seem to get this mod started :( followed the steps pretty clearly too
Please tell me A) Where did you extract the mod files into, and B) How does your shortcut-to-the-mod properties look like.
The mod files are in a folder called RR_Mod and the folder is in my C drive/program files (x86)/Electronic Arts. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod"C/:RR_Mod"
Move the RR_Mod folder to just the C:\ drive, not in any other sub-folder
I've done that and still not successful. It is patched to 2.02 8.4.0 as well
Try writing -mod "C:/RR_Mod", with a spacebar between the -mod and the ", and the : In the right place
Still doesn't seem to work, don't understand why it isn't working as I've got other mods to work
