[LE] Beyond Lost with MO@ and Creation Kit

[Traplord710]

I've downloaded a few mods to MO2 but no matter what I do none of them show up when opening up creation kit. I checked them on the left side of MO2 and they show up in the load order, is there something else I'm supposed to do?

[HeyYou]

Are you starting the CK with MO2?

[Traplord710]

Yes, i was wondering if it was because i didnt download the mod from nexus through the mod manager feature but tried that and no change.

What is the file path that leads to the mod in question?

 

Is it Steamapps - common - Skyrim - Data - Mymod.esp? or something like

 

D:\ Games - Modding - MO2 Skyrim - Mods - MyMod - Mymod.esp?

 

What is in the folder Games - Modding - MO2 Skyrim - Downloads?

 

When you open Mod Organizer and click on the Gears (Modify Executables) at the top of the page and highlight Creation Kit in the pop up does the right side look like:

 

Title : Creation Kit

Binary: d:\ Games \ Steam Library \ Steamapps\ common\Skyrim\ Creationkit.exe

Start In: D:\Games\ Steam Library\ steamapps\ common\ Skyrim

 

Only checked box is "Use application's icon for desktop shortcut"

 

When you run the Creation Kit do you do it by running Mod Organizer then on the righthand side dropdown at the top do you select Creation Kit from the drop down and then click the yellow Run triangle to it's right to start the creation kit?

 

If you use the create shortcut button under Run to put a shortcut on your desktop you will have 2 Creation Kit shortcuts. One leading to the creation kit NOT run through MO2 which will NOT show your mod. And one identical looking shortcut which will start the CK as run through MO2 which WILL show your mod. You need to rename that shortcut on your desktop something like MO2 Creation kit or simply always run the CK from MO2's Run button which is what I do (I don't use a MO2 CK shortcut at all).
