For those of us that are computer illiterate

All right, I just received my SEIV gold, and am pumped. However, beleiving that being able to use all of the mods would be just a matter of doing nothing other than loading the game, I am deeply saddened. So I am a bit on the backwoods side when it comes to opening up, and utilizing these files. I need a "laymens" step by step on how to do this. Right now I just want to be able to add more race types with their cool ships. So if someone could explain this to me, I will be greatful. Remember in laymens terms or "Idiots Guide to opening Race files and using them in a regular SEIV game.
