Hey Nexus forum, I keep seeing posts of people posting about how they cannot click on their "Data Files" option in launcher so just gonna write the steps on how to fix this, so those that are unaware of it don't have to make new topics and wait for replies.

1. Open skyrimprefs.ini (Documents > my games > skyrim)

2. Add the following entry under the [Launcher] heading: bEnableFileSelection=1

3. If there is no [Launcher] heading, or if step 2 didn't help add the line below to the TOP of the file and it should work.

[Launcher]
bEnableFileSelection=1

4. Enjoy your mods

(If it still doesn't work try re-installing or running as administrator and Vista Service Pack 2 compatible)


I know most people know all this already but now it's there for anyone who needs it.

Thanks


EDIT: Just gonna bump it once a day, if it doesn't bother anyone :P

Bumping is against the rules. If we allow indiscriminate bumping then the first several pages of every forum would be nothing but bump bump bump.

You get a strike for not reading the rules and all of your bumps removed.

Bump

So anyone who gets this problem doesn't make a new topic about it and can just get it resolved her. As OP said :)

Also, this helped my friend, neither of us could figure it out so thanks :)

Make sure they are placed in the right directory. For Tytanis I think you should open the 'data' file that you download and then extract the content (the meshes and tytanis.esp and so forth) into your skyrim/Data folder. :)

Basically, don't put the 'data' folder you downloaded into the game's original Data folder, just whats in the 'data'.

Hope this made a little sense XD

Thanks, it worked :D

After deciding to Re-play for a third time, ive decided to stop after escaping Helgen and quit the Game till the Quest Bugs are Fixed.

No problem.

And btw if you are referring to bugs as the 'Esbern not talking bug' there are fixes to that. Just search for a video on youtube :)
