Unable to launch skyrim past the Bethesda logo

Recommended Posts

Would someone please help with this problem.

 

I have recently bought the disk version of Skyrim Legendary edition and wanted to play the game again this time using mods from Nexus instead of the Steam subscription service (I wanted the Skyrim Unofficial Patch). While game was installing, it said it was installing from disk

 

I used Nexus Mod Manager to download some mods, activated the mods....

 

Then, when I try to launch the game, I just get the Bethesda logo then desktop.

 

I checked the data files at launch and this is all I have on the load list:

 

Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp

Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp

Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp

Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp

ApachiiHair.esm

EnhancedLightandFX.esp

RiverwoodEnhancedPlugin.esp

 

 

Etc.

 

Why don't I have

 

Skyrim.esm

Update.esm

 

on that list?

 

How do I get those two (crucial) file on that list?

 

BTW: nothing wrong with the disk. If I uncheck ALL the mods, I can load the game no problem. But the whole point is I want the Unofficial Skyrim Patch (and the other mods)

 

 

Thank you very much for your help. I feel this is a stupid question probably dealt with elsewhere, but I'm desperate!! :confused:

Hi Hilda1007

 

Can you check the mods in your skyrimlauncher,Are they there or not?

 

And does the game load when theyre enabled??

 

Well he he lets just say that the skyrim.esm is a bit crucial,Cause without that nothing will ever happen.

 

Try running it through your skyrim launcher first or tesv.exe and see what happens.

You simply need to go to Steam and update your game and get the latest patches.

 

 

The unofficial patches require an updated Skyrim.

Hi everyone

 

Thanks very much for the replies.

 

I did check my Skyrim folder and yes, all the mods were there.

 

Reynard131's suggestion got things going. I went back to steam and updated everything. The big problem was that I bought the original game when it first came out, and recently bought the Legendary edition, but didn't put in the box code to activate it. Doh! All working perfectly now and I'm in Skyrim heaven. Thank you very very much!

 

:D
