Dedprice Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) not a modder, but if you attempt to download this mod, it will instantly cancel itself and tell you"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified name must be less than 260 characters and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. The mod was not installed."wondering if any modders have a solution. tried NMM and Manual download and extracting it to 7 zip, neither work. Edit: Link to NMM downloadhttps://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57744?tab=posts Edited December 25, 2021 by Dedprice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 That would be a "you" problem. Your download folder probably has too long a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I use NMM and had no problem downloading the main file. It is probably a "you" problem as showler said. Although I do not understand why it failed to download to NMM. Where do you have NMM installed? What version of NMM are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 The error indicates that the file path of the download directory is simply too long. Windows has a limit to how long a file path it can store. Solution is simply to change your download folder from "D:/games/vortexgames/bethesdagames/skyrimspecialedition/vortexsavefolder/filesdownloadedonthursday/filesdownloadedinthemorning/thispartisjustwastedspace/whyisthissobloodylong/arglebargle/" to "D:/games/vortex/sse" and then it will be able to store the string correctly.

Although I do not understand why it failed to download to NMM. Where do you have NMM installed? What version of NMM are you using?guess im pretty new to this but i simply have NMM installed (latest version) to desktop as i downloaded it straight off vortex. ive never had this problem with any other mods and dont download mods manually or individually. so this happening is a first. not even sure how to adjust the file name without manual download now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedprice Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 so when f*#@ing around because im impatient i did find that the file pathing and locations modder has, adds 2 extra foldersmy typical folders for other animations that do the exact same thing such as vanguard animations, zweihander, etc, dont use.these folders are titled. Dynamic Animation Replacerand _CustomConditionsbut im too new at this to know what to actually do or how to fix anything.Again, not sure how to edit the pathing or rename these files as ive never needed to before. any step by step or help on how to do so would be greatly appreciated.

showler Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 guess im pretty new to this but i simply have NMM installed (latest version) to desktop as i downloaded it straight off vortex. This sentence makes no sense. NMM is a mod manager. Vortex is a mod manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Showler is correct, NMM stands for "Nexus Mod Manager" and you would have to go to github to download it. NMM was the Vortex forerunner on Nexus. When Nexus introduced Vortex they ceased all support for NMM. Which is understandable as there was no reason to use resources maintaining NMM.

Vortex is a mod manager. i googled nexus mod manager and it took me to vortex. dont know why.. dont care... any way. i use NMM so can we please move on to how im supposed to fix this? i could really care less for everything else UNLESS it involves fixing the mod Edited December 27, 2021 by Dedprice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
