Reminds me of when Sony BMG decided the best way to prevent piracy was to install a rootkit on every customer's computer. A little drastic, perhaps, considering the collateral damage to good people. Finally got around to playing again (with a shiny new rig) and SMC is missing at least 12 mods...rough.

There's like 3 different issues mixed in this old thread: Setting the max memory allocation to an incorrect number: backup+delete the skyrim.ini SKSE getting corrupted: reinstall SKSE. Then that bInvalidateOlderFiles being set to 0: use ModOrganizer and as a bonus it sets that right for you automatically in its initweaks file.Only problem is using ModOrganizer means your skyrim.ini is in a different place, deleting it in the normal place wouldn't work, it's one more variable when you have a fubar skse install, and it may be hard for some to use it because you have to start everything from within it. There's no perfect solution. But overall it's just don't mess with things unless you have to, and understand the tools provided to you. And if you're going to start clean, make sure you really do: INI files, external utilities such as SKSE, and a new save for testing. Actually, you might as well do that kind of stuff *before* trying to reinstall Skyrim.

Nevermind. This doesn't work in Win8, and there are other problems with it. Just use this I guess: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36125/?

In response to post #10441169. #10441927 is also a reply to the same post. @redslime Step 1: Use Mod Organizer. Done. It too does not have NMM capability at the moment, but you can right-click anything you've installed and select Query Info as soon as the NMM functionality of the site comes back online. And any 7z or ZIP or RAR archive dropped in Mod Organizer's download folder shows up in the downloads list. So people with a fresh install who are installing loads of mods aren't screwed. But it would be nice on this site if for the manual downloads, mirrors autoselected, like you know...standard load balancing.
