You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it working. I love MO2 as a mod manager. I didn't start using it until about 2 years ago. Modding really opens up with the virtual file system (VFS) and updating your mods becomes incredibly easy AND stable. You can easily revert from updates, if necessary, whereas with NMM, you can often be stuck living with issues due to the inherent danger of updating in the middle of a play-through without a VFS. Happy modding!

I assume this is for SSE. If not, please ignore this post. I think the FOMOD just spazzes for some reason (did for me- maybe I should try BlueGunk's suggestion). Good news you can use MO2 with SkyUI 2.2. Works great. Here's what I did: If you haven't already, I'd recommend following step-by-step instructions to alter 3 SkyUI files in order to eliminate the SKSE warning messages you'll otherwise encounter if you don't get rid of them. Great video walkthrough so you can do it step-by-step -> . I'd do this prior to zipping my file to an archive so you only have to do it once.

Amen!!

@Atrican: +1 Agreed. Most people on this thread understand & agree with you I'm sure. If I recall correctly, I believe the SKSE team stated they would be working closely to get out SkyUI, since the original author did not want to be at the forefront of putting that out. I for one would prefer to see SKSE released with that done. That said, can anyone correct me if I'm wrong. I can't find where I read that, but I think I'm right about that. Can anyone confirm this? Would be nice to get back on topic.

Homer?

@Tarshana: +1 to that. Well said.

Great interview. I can't add much to what others have said. Awesome guy and service in GamerPoets. I got into PC gaming the exact same way... frustration with PS3 Skyrim. Was shocked to see someone so thoroughly helpful and instructive got into around the same time as me. Even more so, when I read how Michael got started after being robbed. Really sorry that happened, bud. Kudos to you for picking yourself up like that. It's inspirational honestly. Keep up the great work, and sincerest best wishes for success and happiness in the future, MIchael.

No sweat }{ellKnight. Glad you got your answer.

Holy schnikes! I was just hoping by July 4th holiday! Wow!

To piggyback on to this (don't mean to hijack), I agree LOOT is awesome... no... completely necessary... for plugins, but I see a few things in your mod installation list. For example, Papyrus Util should be way at the top right after SKSE. Also, Clothing and clutter fixes, WAF, &CCOR look like potential issues in the mod order that should be way higher order (not plugin load order)- also the trueweapons add-on that should be way down low near the bash patch prior to running it I don't see. I'd recommend using STEP as it's written specifically with Mod Organizer in mind. I started with them and learned more than I ever thought I would. They also have helped Gamer Poets get started and he did their video tutorials, and he swears by them too. I don't know if you know GP, but most folks consider him as more of an advanced teacher after Gopher. Try the link and I think you'll be impressed (almost overwhelmed) at the amount of highly organized information available. It intimidated me at first. Hope this is what you're looking for: a mod guide and video tutorials for same all built around teaching as deep as one wants to go specifically for Mod Organizer. STEP Mod Guide Note: Step 2 about halfway down the page is where mod installation sections start.

Are you using NMM to install your mods? The installation order itself matters too when using multiple mods that edit character models. It's not like MO where you can just move stuff around, because NMM actually writes to the true data folder, not a virtual data folder like MO.

+1 to that. Never understand why someone will take the time to post like AZrelightsky, when they could have read the update to answer their own question. Sheesh. Too much ignorance like that is a good way to get mod authors to throw up their hands in frustration and just stop. Can't blame a lot of them for doing that already.

I always think it's best to start simple, so I apologize if you've already checked this. Might be the UAC in Windows. It can cause problems with games here and there. Do you have Steam installed on your C system drive and the game too? If so, you really want to move that to a drive outside the program files - ideally on to a separate drive. At the very least, move Steam and games to a folder outside the program files.

I'd love to know that too, but I think that's the purpose of the analogy behippo summarized 4 days ago in such a detailed fashion. If you read that post and are asking anyway, just ignore me here as a useless waste of time. If you haven't read it yet, go back to behippo's post on 12/6. It's an excellent analogy giving everyone, even the dummies like me, an idea of what that team is tackling- along with an appreciation of the same. Wow! behippo analogy
