alice11208 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I recently got skyrim via steam and decided that I wanted to mod it. I got the nexus mod manager so both the manager and the game are up to date. When I start mod manager, it finds the game with no problem. I begin to download and install mods from this site and activate them. It says that the mods are activated and the plugin box is checked for the mods. But, when I run the game from the mod manager, the game shows no changes. Some of the mods include graphic changes,max weight my player can carry, and changes to the NPC'S. I've re installed the manager and the mods and still no change. Is there a specific place that I should have had installed the manager (I just said okay to where it wanted to install) or do I have to manipulate certain game files?

AnkhAscendant Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 When you use the Steam launcher, can you open the Data Files selection and activate mods that way? I not, you need to find your SkyrimPrefs.ini file (should be in "Documents/My Games/Skyrim") and add "bEnableFileSelection=1" under the "Launcher" heading. It doesn't like to come out of the box enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Also, some mods require SKSE to be used in launching Skyrim. Remember to use that and not the Steam launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice11208 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 The mod files can be seen in the skyrim data folder. From what I know, only one mod needs SKSE to work and the bEnableFileSelection=1 is in the launch directory. I think that I downloaded SKSE because it keeps crashing when I try to launch it.
