From your giants folder directory, it should be in the bin folder. If it is not there, you must create a folder and name it 'Override'.

Are you extracting the files from the zip package, or is the zip not showing up at all?

Dissapearing files?

Anyway, if you have the GeForce 3 mecc models installed you can't skin your mecc anymore; just the weapons/backpacks.

Well first of all you will need to elaborate on your replies a bit.

This is what you need to do:
- You have to create an override folder in Giants\Bin\
- Next you download a skin, extract the contents and place the skin files directly in Giants\Bin\Override (so not the compressed file nor the unpacked folder)

What happens next? Is it just not working when you load a game, or are files not staying inside the override folder? I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Furthermore: what kind of skins are you trying to use? Mecc/Reaper/Kabuto/landscape/etc?
If you tried multiple types: do none work at all?
