I just tried to pirate Skyrim on my PC but when I tried to play the game it just opened steam. I figured out I need to crack the game which I have no clue how to do. I've tried searching the internet for a guide and none of them helped me. If anyone could direct me to a guide that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Generally when you torrent the game, there will be another folder in the directory from where you started the install, usually labeled crack, or after the scene group that cracked it, such as Razor, nosteam, codex, cpy, rld, etc.

      You'll copy the files, usually a couple of dlls from there over to the main folder, and overwrite the DLLs in the installed game folder.

      Thank you. Do I need to turn off my anti virus for there to be a crack file?

        Some antivirus will overreact about it, but most of the time it won't, or you'll just need to tell the antivirus to ignore that one file. I'd look up what it's complaining about, as the fact that it so commonly overreacted to files for piracy could potentially be used as a vector to sneak actual malicious files onto the computer and get you to think the antivirus is just freaking out over nothing. This is rare though.
