Idalar Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Hello, I installed two mods, the vampire hood fix and the lore styles hair set, and seeing that they remained unchecked, I looked a bit more into it and made the plugin.txt read only. Afterwards, I tried running the game and I could only see the Bethseda icon before the game crashed. I tried not using the hair mod and keeping the hood fix and it still didn't work. Is there a way around this? Please, I need to know what to do so that I can make at least those mods run. Thanks in advance.

Idalar Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Bump. Please, I need your help. Erasing, at least, the problem with the baldspot would be extremely usefulo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeir Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The hood fix is in the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, so use that and the other patches instead; you'll get thousands of other fixes as well. Is your Skyrim up to date? Have you verified the game cache to make sure your game isn't missing any files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominoes666 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Crashes at the bethesda logo are usually caused by missing master files. Are the mods you downloaded or any other mods reliant on a .esm or another .esp which is not placed before it in the load list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idalar Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hmmm, the mods downloaded have a .esp. I'll show you how the plugin.txt looks like. skyrim.esmSkyrim.esmVampiresHoodFix.espMacKom_LoreStylesHairSet.esp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominoes666 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Is that your entire load list? And i see two skyrim.esm's that shouldn't be like that, it's probably one of the problems. I highly recommend you install and use the NMM to organise, download and install your mods, it's much more user friendly and genuinely useful unlike the vanilla method.

Idalar Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Well, I tried erasing that extra skyrim.esm, and turned it to read only. It still crashes. I am using the Nexus Mod Manager (is that NMM?), and it is the one that adds that extra skyrim.esm. In short, I am bound to either endure that goddamn bald spot and other errors (the NMM doesn't work for me, apparently, for ANY modification, including the unofficial patch) or not being able to play at all. Does no one have any issues with the NMM as the one I currently have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeir Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You're also missing Update.esm. Did you get your game from Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idalar Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Hmmm, I'll look for the Update.esm, then. Nope, I simply bought it. Truth be told, I've no idea what Steam is. Where should I look for in order to have that in the plugins.txt? Edited November 7, 2013 by Idalar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominoes666 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) The update.esm will only appear if you have updated the game to the latest version... I'm honestly not sure how to do that without steam. Steam btw is an online and offline gaming community with a market and game library you can access via the installed app. It is, if i say so myself, the core of pc gaming in this generation. You should really look into it if you want to game on a PC :smile: And the missing update.esm is highly likely what is causing your problems, most mods are created on the latest game version and as such, require the update.esm as a master file. And as i have mentioned previously, mising masters is often the cause of crashing on startup. Edited November 7, 2013 by Dominoes666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
