MrManovar6 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Using Mod Organizer 2, not very good at computers. Most mods, all it takes for the most part is a few clicks, but Familiar Faces seem more sophisticated. Requirements say that this mod requires the following two mods: https://www.nexusmod...yrim/mods/49743 https://www.nexusmod...yrim/mods/29624 I wasn't planning on getting those two mods, but if that's what Familiar Faces needs, fine. RaceMenu seems easy enough, but I tried JContainers, and it looks like it's not compatible with Mod Organizer 2. What do I do with it and how do I install it? Other than that, is there anything else I need to know about installing any of these mods, including Familiar Faces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatFalro Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 UI tried JContainers, and it looks like it's not compatible with Mod Organizer 2. What do you mean by this? What happens when you press the "Mod Manager Download" button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when you press the "Mod Manager Download" button? You know how once you donwloaded a mod on MO2 you then have to go to 'downloads' and double click it to install it? Well, with this mod, a strange window shows up that shows the name of the mod, its content, and at the bottom it says with red letters "No game data on top level", and when I click "OK" it then shows the following message: "This mod was probably NOT set up correctly, most likely it will NOT work. You should first correct the directory layout using the content-tree." I can either "Ignore" or "Cancel". This has NEVER happened to me before, and I don't wanna risk messing it up. What should I do?

Ah, I see. This happens because JContainers is an SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) plugin, and therefore doesn't contain data that is detected by the base game on its own. You should be able to right click on the "Data" folder in the view showing its contents and choose "Set as data directory" or something to that effect (it's been a while since I've used MO2, so I can't remember the exact wording). This should allow you to install it, thought MO2 will probably still complain about it - you can safely ignore it. If you're having trouble still, let me know and I'll start up MO2 myself and get a full walkthrough. To answer your last question in your first post, Familiar Faces is a bit outdated, so you may encounter a few bugs with it. Back when I had it installed it would occasionally lose data or duplicate followers, so you should keep a close eye on it and go back to an earlier save if need be.

Seriously though, you've been helpful. Presciate it' Also, aww really? Outdated? Riddled with bugs? Damn. That mod is practically the biggest reason I'm sticking to normal Skyrim instead of Special Edition. But okay, I'll be careful with it. Hell, I've put up with New Vegas for so long, maybe I can deal with this too. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
