Fenryr3001 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I am basically on the same level as you when it comes to expertise in stuff like that,but make sure you check it in the Skyrim Launcher If they already are,re-tick them Edited May 26, 2015 by Fenryr3001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbender800 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Not to sound mean but most mods are pretty simple to install. Download mod manager, make sure its set for skyrim, clock NMM download, activate and thats it your done. Hard part is load order, compatibility, patches, etc etc. Make sure you read descriptions and follow mod authors instructions and you typically cant go wrong. people who dont read and do their research are usually the ones who have problems. What mod specifically isnt working? Why isnt your real vision installed? Did you read descriptions and follow the directions step by step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saurusmaximus Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Also, most texture mods don't appear in your load order as they just overwrite the vanilla files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an ENB, you'll know right away whether or not it's working. For retexture mods, the easiest way is just to find the object that is supposed to be retextured in your game and see if the appearance is correct.

Noortje Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 If it's not working you haven't set the install directory correctly in NMM. But I doubt that is the case if other mods are working. Show me a screenshot of some aspen trees (near riften) and I'll tell you if your mods are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
