Unsure of what "refresh content" means (in mods tab right click a mod title)

[anjenthedog]

So, like the title suggests, I'm not sure what it actually means to "refresh content". Not sure if it's a mod's settings, or the active mod files (the ones placed into Roaming from the archive file), or both, or something else, or what.

 

Would someone give me a quick ELI5 explanation so my brain stops hurting? :huh:

 

thanks

 

PS> Just for the record, I *have* looked around the net for an explanation but not found anything, or I wouldn't be posting this question...

Ok, so I tried it today. It didn't appear to do anything and didn't display any feedback at all. So vhat gives, aye?

The "Content" column in the mods list shows icon indicating whether the mod contains textures, audio, scripts or whatever.

"Refresh Content" re-analyses the mod directory to update those icons. If you haven't modified the mod it will do nothing.

Thank for the clarification Tannin. Much appreciated.

 

I had no idea it referenced and acted on a specific column... and moreover, I guess asking this question just opened my eyes, since I had no idea what that column was for, and as a result, had it disabled in my supreme ignorance... 3 years...lol.

 

Thanks again.
