How To Fix Skyrim Invisible Plugins and Mods

[TheBossX2]

Many New People and Modders when inter the modding scene 70% of them will face this Issue and i saw many posts here asking for Solution but no answer so here is a Detailed Tutorial on How To Fix This.

1.Change your Skyrim Installation Path If You didn't change the path when you installed the game it should be in :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data

and if you cant find it there try:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data

2.You can change the path by Right Click on the whole steam folder CUT and Paste in where ever you like D:// or F:// or E:// it doesn't matter as long its not in C:// anymore

​Because when the game in the C:// Path the windows will protect its files from Modification and editing so no matter what you save in the game DATA folder its will be there but the windows will hide it as a security Precaution

3.Some People when they change their game path they will notice that their mods and DLCs are not showing up in the Launcher Data Files the fix is:

(a) Launch RUN command by Right Click on http://i.imgur.com/C62Lf4r.jpg or http://i.imgur.com/apZrGhF.jpg and then click on Run

(b) when run command is up type Regedit

You are greatly mistaken, my friend. There is absolutely no reason that you can not install your Steam directory on to your 'C' drive. We have been recommending for years that your games be installed outside of 'Program Files' to avoid issues with Microsoft's UAC utility. My Steam is installed on 'C'. All of my other games are installed directly on 'C' as well as my 'photo editing programs. Some people have created a folder on 'C' called 'Games' and installed them there. If you have your Steam installed in the default location there are instructions on Steam to easily move the location elsewhere. I recommend that you use that.

 

And I would be very careful of recommending that people use the 'regedit' utility. You can cause serious issues if you were to make any mistakes in it. Mistake that can make it so that your computer doesn't work any more for you. Just saying.
