Ok I meant Vortex. But you did say that Steam needed to be running when I load the game.
In Vortex, is disabling a mod and then re-enabling it the same as deleting the mod and reinstalling it?
Or I can remove the mods but leave them archived and then reinstall them from the archive. I take it that is what I need to do.
When I uninstalled the Script Extender it disappeared from my list of mods without leaving me an archive, so I copied the Extender dll into Vortex from the SktrimSE folder and installed that. I see that all of my Extender scripts were deleted from the data folder when I deleted the extender, so I copied all of them back to the Data folder from the new data folder you had me make.
I think I'm ready to start the game.
I've started to check out changes.
The first thing I noticed is that SkyUI still isn't working. Again it was disabled on starting the game, so I enabled it. The first time I checked my inventory I got a series of error messages about incompatible files. These files do not come with SKYUI. The only one I wrote down is InventoryMenu.swf. I tried three times to load an older game save but each time the game crashed. On searching my SkyrimSE directory I have no *.swf files.
I didn't see any changes to my Flower Girls mod when interacting with NPCs. That mod is still broken. I did also reinstall that mod after reinstalling the script extender.
When I tried to fast travel to where some ore node are, to check out my mining mods and see if they work any differently, the game crashed. But they need the SkyUI mod to work, so my mining mods still won't work. Every time I've tried to do something that causes a game save, the game crashes.
It seems like the harder I try to get everything working, the deeper I get in a hole.
I'm afraid that I've gotten Vortex so screwed up with all the mods I've loaded, played around with un-installed etc. that I'm considering using windows to uninstall Vortex and start over, if that would work.
But anyway, you have been a champion and I thank you again for your help.
I never said I installed it three times by hand. You have assumed something I didn't say. I did the Manual download and then dragged the manual download into vortex, and yes three times, as I told you a long time ago. I also told you that the second and third I dragged it into Vortex, vortex said that the file had already been loaded. There was no reason for you to get so ignorant.
And yes I installed the SKSE64 version.
As far as not following your instructions, your beginning to sound like another Brit that instead of offering help, simply makes excuses you why your stuff doesn't work.
Anyway. I have wasted far too much time trying to get these two mods to work. I'm throwing them out and going back to my Bethesda mod that does work
