Skyrim saves and mods location

[Exoalt]

I recently moves the skyrim folder from C to D and now when i run nexus manager i have 2 problems:

 

1. All the mods i downloaded before are active but only appear in plugins and not in mods, so i can't uninstall them

2. All my saves are lost, still i can see them in one of the folders

 

so my question is,

1 what do i need to do to see my mods on "Mods" in the nexus mod manager

2 where do i need to move those saves to get them back

 

Thank you and sorry for my bad english

1. you need to tell nexus manager where is you mod folder are. i think its under settings. then you can re-install them. maybe after you install and uninstall they will be deleted - im not sure.

here is a video which shows how the mod manager works:

For the situtation you told here i dont sure you can easly unistall those mods by installing and unistalling (but maybe you should try), you can deactivate them in the manager. If you want to delete them you need to go into the /data/ folder inside your game folder, then look and delete the files that every mod archive you installed contained (delete to recycle bin so you can regret!).

 

by the way i dont use the nexus mod menager for this exact reason. i prefer the mod organizer as it doesnt copy anything to the game directory.

2. you need to look where does your game put the saves NOW. its usually in:

C:\Users\***YOURCOMPUERNAME***\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves\

Just to be sure its the right location go to the game and start a new game and save. now search your comuter for files with the extension *.ESS (you can also write "*.ESS", without the "", in the windows-search, after you find it you can right click it and open containing folder). of course, you can know from the files name and creation time if your in the right folder.

 

Goodluck!!

You moved it from C to D? What's the game folder the files are located in?
