I have removed the no mods text file and I have created the MODS folder in PCBANKS. I have tried half a dozen mods that all say they are compatible with the 1.3 Atlas Rising update earlier this month. Even if I load just one mod I will get one of two results. Either nothing at all seems to change in gameplay or it crashes to the desktop during the white screen game startup window.
Since there are 400 mods for the game it must be doable. What am I doing wrong?

I have lost the above window which makes it hard to get around to different games in NMM.
Can I get that window back or is there a way to move from game to game in NMM easily without that window? The only way I know how right now is go to the Nexus web page and download a new mod for the game I want to work with. I am collecting mods that I am not particularly interested in.

Thanks, now I have a couple more questions.
The showinventory scrolls off the screen, is there a way to have it stop and give me a screenful at a time? I sold Aurial's Bow to the weapon store in Whiterun and they don't have it now, so will it still be in my inventory? What if I use the console command to bring it back and then remove it?
What does the setstage command do? Does it just reset this one quest?
-
Early on i used a console command to get Aurial's bow because it was a good bow. But now I have the quest to go get it and it will not start, even though it is on my quest list. Selling the bow does not help. When I click the quest and go to the map, I get no indication of where to go to start the quest. The white elf told me to kill his brother and the quest log say that the bow is located there.
How do I tell the game that I want to do the quest? What would be the console command?

My character is level 48 so you know that he has been in a few dungeons and I have never had a problem with any of them, until now.
I am in the Dwemer dungeon Fahlbtharz on Solstheim. I am on the top level and can see a ledge in front of me and I have to ride two large gears to get there. The first gear is no problem, I can ride it forever or until I get dizzy. The second gear has a Dwemer critter climb out the middle of the gear, as soon as it is attacked my game freezes. No keyboard command works and my mouse is frozen. It makes no difference who attacks it, me, Serana or any of the rest of my small army. I have encountered Dwemer combatants on other gears in this dungeon and fought them with no problem.
My Windows 10 Task Manager is no help because it appears behind the game, my only option is to restart. This is repeatable because I have tried six different ways to get past it and the game freezes every time. I would prefer not to back track all the way out of the dungeon and leave it unfinished but that is what I will have to do unless someone here has a solution.
The solution can either be a way to fight or a console command that avoids the fight.

I got that email too and they also fixed a problem for me. I had been unable to access the game, it would crash as soon as i loaded it. Now it will play and I will come back after i finish Skyrim SE.
-
Yes, it is checked on the Nexus mod tab and on the plugins tab.
I have moved it from the end of the load order, middle of the load order and now it is the first mod loaded. Nothing makes a difference.
I even tried to install it manually into the data folder, didn't help.

There's a VRAM/RAM limit of 4gb if you're on Windows 8.1/10, so if you're on either, it's a definite yes.
If you have 64 bit Windows your RAM limit is increased to 16G. I have four 4G sticks in mine and Windows sees it all.

My wife and I both have Windows 10 computers and she is also playing Skyrim SE on her computer about six feet away from me.
She was able to add the Console Books collection using Nexus with no problem, I can't. I have tried using Nexus and doing it manually and neither have worked.
Does it have to be in a particular spot in the load order?

I am finding myself unable to perform various optional activities.
My first problem was unlocking the stable door in Payback. i had loaded a mod that gave more rune slots on relic weapons and armor. The home page did warn it might corrupt save games so I did back up. I played with that mod for a couple of weeks with no problem. Then in Payback I picked up the key to the door but it had no effect.
I disabled the mod and restored from a backup and I was able to open the door to complete that quest.
Now I am in the Great Escape and have the same problem. I am in the elven ruins and have found the lever to open the door, when I take it back to where I need it, nothing happens. Same problem I had with the stable door key. The game does not recognize that I have the lever and still tells me to go find it. I even went to YouTube and played a video showing me where the lever is (plus I have found it the last time I played the game). The YouTube video took me to the same place that I had found it.
Good thing this is not my first time through the game and I am wondering how many other voluntary tasks will be impossible to do.
Time to put this back on the shelf and take a look at Skyrim Special Edition, play that game again. Too bad, i was having fun.
-
No I did not, what I had was 0.63.1. When I checked i found that Skyrim SE support was added in 0.63.2.
The current release is 0.63.5. Once I upgraded to that I was able to add SE to Nexus.
Thanks for the hint. :)
-
The game is installed and is playable but when I tell Nexus to rescan my computer for new games it does not see it. Any idea what the problem is?
I can even download mods from Steam successfully using the mod button on the start screen.
-
I did not get GOTY because i already have all the DLCs and there was no gain for me. My version of Witcher is 1.31.
On reading the many threads here about problems with GOTY I am glad I didn't get it.

Update, I found my problem in Payback.
I decided to skip Payback and come back later. So I went to my next quest and discovered that I was unable to draw a sword, either one. Do you have any idea how hard it is to beat a Wyvern when all you can do is punch it and use signs? :)
Then I remembered that I had loaded a mod that gives some relic weapons and armor five rune slots. On the home page of that mod I remembered that there was a comment that the mod might corrupt game saves. I disabled the mod and started loading older game saves until I could draw my weapons again. Fortunately i only had to go back about six quests and replay them. Played through to Payback again and all worked like it should.

I have found that slots, slots, slots causes problems with a lot of mods. Many interesting mods will conflict with slots so i can't use them.
I like slots so I choose to use it and skip the incompatible ones. Slots allows you to activate every ability, not just a few. And it gives you access to all of Dr. Moreau's Mutagen tree at the same time. You can activate every branch, not just one.

Version 1.31 is the latest version of the game. The updates are usually automatic. Your copy is probably already 1.31.
If the game won't start disable all your mods and see if it starts. Then add the mods back in one at a time to find the problem one.

I am playing the quest Payback which includes stealing some horses. I can get the key on the table next to the door to the stable but the door does not open, it stays locked.
I was told there is a console command "unlock" and that will open doors. But I was also told to move my cursor over the door before unlocking it. When moving Geralt using the WASD keys I do not have a cursor and using ~ to get into the console does not give me a mouse.
I need help in one of two ways. Either a mouse while in console to do the unlock command (or the rest of the command if there is more than unlock) or how do i open a door that I have the key for and it does not respond? Either one will work.
-
If you mean the console start key ~, that does not give me a mouse either and typing unlock on the console does not do anything either.
-
Thanks, just one small problem. When I am moving Geralt around using the WASD keys, I do not have a mouse cursor onscreen.
I tried putting Geralt in front of the door and pressing ' (apostrophe) and nothing happened, no mouse appeared.
-
I am working on the quest Payback and I have arrived at the stable that contains the four horses we want.
I can find the key for the door on the table next to the door inside the stable, I examine it and the key disappears but the door does not unlock, it still says that a key is required.
I did not think anything else needed to be done. How do I get the door open? Clue books do not say anything more is needed. My current save is standing next to the key but I have not taken it yet. Either by console command or tell me what step I might have overlooked. I have tried night time, daytime, from the inside, from the outside, killing the guard, not killing the guard. I even tried AARD.
-
Just curious, after installing GOTY did you tell Nexus to rescan your installed games?
-
A very vague question, more detail would be useful. For instance-
Have you played the game after it was upgraded to 1.31? That does cause some issues with mods which have to be resolved.
Does the game start at all or crash back to Windows?
Uninstall the last mod you added and see what happens. The Red Game compiler will usually stop you if a mod is incompatible, but not always.
Does the game start if you uninstall all mods? If so, then put them back one at a time until you find the problem mod. A hint here is if you do not go anywhere or save the game then you are not impacting your last save which has all mods active. Once you find the mod causing trouble, go to that mod page and see if there is a newer version there.
-
I thought I had, I updated all the mods with a triangle. I will check to see if any have dates newer than summer and do those too.
-
Guess I need to start unloading mods until the game starts.
Why can't I install mods?

When I add a mod I do see it show up in the MODS folder. I also doubt that any mod with a date before Aug 2017 is problematical at best. For example, Trainer Plus 25 which is dated from 2016 does not show up in the MODS folder when activated and will crash the game, guaranteed. So that one is not available to me.
One that does not crash the game is called "Better Ship Seat", however I see no difference to the cockpit whether this mod is running or not so there is no point in it. And just because the mod shows up in the MODS folder does not mean it will run okay.
Any mod that does not specifically say it is compatible to 1.3 Atlas Rising I will avoid.
