NastyDibella Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 try to uncheck "update.esm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edclist Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Here's my solution. I keep a shortcut on my desktop to the plugins file. Every time I install a new mod I just open the plugins.txt via the shortcut and remove the offending instance of skyrim.exe. Minor annoyance but it works.

radc1nt Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I can't find the appdata folder, it doesnt show up, the only one that does isn't under my name and doesn't have anything skyrim in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papamike Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 This error happened to me about 2months ago. I searched everywhere for an answer and eventually gave up on this game. I thought I might have another crack to see if I could get it working. I followed the directions above and the game now appears to be stable. I couldnt find the appdata/local/skyrim folder but instead simply unclicked the update.esm option in NMM. I cannot believe the answer was right there the whole time. I literally spent weeks trying to find a solution to this. Thank you so much for the solution. An enormous chunk of good Karma coming your way guys.

papamike Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Damn it. Its back. I added Deadly Dragons mod and the error has returned. Any suggestions? EDIT: After running a search for all plugin.txt files I eventually found the one pertaining to skyrim. As described an extra skyrim.esm file is noted on it. Deleting this line fixes the problem. Yay!

Lyncor Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for the tip! I was wondering why Wrye Bash was complaining about Skyrim.esm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldage Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 For those of you who can't find the folder. For all windows it's a hidden folder. You must go to control panel, folder options, then check view hidden files and folders. This is the location of the plugin.txt in windows 7, not sure if it's any different with other OSes. I can confirm the plugin.txt fix does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
