Hello i'm having some problems with nmm, it told me to run a clean install (delete the config/old folder and stuffs) and now when loading the nmm i don't have a list of mods i have downloaded, i was wondering how i go about installing and deleting or more importantly updating if i cant see them? is there a way the program can find all the mods i have downloaded for me?
It's looking in the wrong place for your files-you need to find the old location it had been storing your mods, and either re-point where the NMM is looking for the mods, or just move them into the new location. If you don't know that location offhand, try searching for a known mod file name.
I had the same problem, and once I found where I'd put my mods (/steamapps/common/skyrim/ModManage in my case), I moved them. NMM found them, but I had to uninstall/reinstall them to get the manager to recognize that they were in. I was able to get Skyrim to load without the dreaded "Missing resources" alert showing up after all that, so I think I've covered my bases. Good luck!
