Addons not playable?

[dealer3]

Skyrim Dawnguard, Dragornborn and Heartfire (.bsa and .esm) are all in my data folder. When I launch skyrim with the launcher the data button is grey.

I have NMM and it detects them but when I launch skyrim with it i get the same result.

 

Any Suggestions?

YOu have to go into your Skyrim.ini file, in the games folder, its to do with one of the edits, cant remember which one, just research it, easy enough to find

I only have skyrim pref.

But somewhere in there dose not help.

I do not know ...anything about programming....

I had skyrim installed before w/o the DLC. could that affect why its not loading the DLC?

[drbeavis]

you do not have a skyrim.ini? I'd suggest making one. here's mine. put it in your C:\Users\Documents\my games\Skyrim folder

Open notepad, copy and paste the spoiler, save as 'skyrim.ini'...also make sure it is an ini file, you may have to 'show application extensions' in your folder if it saves as a txt file. I'm assuming you have ran BOSS and the expansions are damn near the very top?
