dietrdev Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I've nearly finished modding Skyrim with Perkus Maximus and all its required subsidiary mods. However, something that's causing CTDs is the fact the the Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthfire .esm's are being listed as inactive, meaning that every mod that needs those DLC is failing. I've looked around a good bit but can't find anywhere that says what I'm supposed to do to make these .esm's "active." They are in the appropriate folder with the rest of the mods, and the game was running fine before I bought the DLC and installed the mods that need them. Here's my LOOT info. If anyone has any idea how to "activate" the DLC .esm's, I'd be super grateful to hear. This is appears to be the only error that LOOT has identified. plugins: - name: Skyrim.esm crc: 0 version: "" isActive: true isEmpty: false loadsBSA: false modPriority: 0 isGlobalPriority: false messages: [] tags: ~ isDirty: false - modPriority: -999999 isGlobalPriority: true messages: - condition: "" content: - str: Contains 92 ITM records and 3 deleted references.

Vaelka Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) This is probably obvious, but have you made sure that they are checked in the launcher/NMM/whatever you use? Edited May 23, 2015 by BluePianoTwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietrdev Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) No not technically. I thought that because it was DLC content that's uploaded into the game itself, one wouldn't expect to see the .esm's for the DLC in the NMM. Should I somehow upload the DLC .esm's into the NMM alongside the other mods? If so, how should I do that? Edited May 23, 2015 by dietrdev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSxorpio Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) The format used for modding mimics DLC content, in general. You'll need the esms activated to see any DLC content. Make sure you are up to date with Steam, simply verify cache for the game. :smile: NMM should show the DLC esms, and allow you to activate them. If not, verify cache.

dietrdev Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) I found the menu in NMM to enable the .ems's! Thank you for your help! Edited May 23, 2015 by dietrdev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagomillion Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Where is the menu to enable the .esm's in NMM? I can't seem to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshpvp32116 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 so under the option launch Skyrim or whatever there should be 2 Tabs, Plugins and Mods, just simply tap into plugins and activate the .esm's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
