Skyrim won't load mods in game

[Vixsor]

Well, I bought full game and i tried to install mods..first off i started really easily, installed some bodies, hairstyles, eyes, racemenu ..and?

 

Racemenu is the only working thing in-game...bodies, skin textures or hairstyles are just gone and won't show in my game. And I haven't even tried more mods (so I guess If I did, i would have constant crashing and ctds even with all unchecked mods like before)

 

so that's it...thank you Bethesda for throwing away my money.

How did you install mods? Did you use a mod manager? What did you use to sort them?

Have you tried starting a new game to see if it works?

For me, currently, whenever I install and activate a mod, it doesn't end up in-game unless I create a new game and character altogether, in which case it works fine, until I add another mod that is. Needless to say this is incredibly frustrating, and I'm at a loss of how to fix it.

I use mod manager, then i tried manual installing..i tried boss but nothing. And yeah i started new game and it appears..for example mod live another life works, same as racemenu, but modded texture skins, hairstyles or faces not..and i tried like thousand times to activate it.

Bethesda is not responsible for installing a bunch of mods in your Skyrim game. The first rule of modding is to take responsibility for the stability of your own load order by learning the basics of using mods. If you are serious about setting up a stable modded game, at this point it's probably best to start over, and do a clean install of the game, then follow the following rules:

 

- use a mod manager to install your mods. Installing mods manually might be ok for veteran mod users, but it's a recipe for disaster for new mod users. Either NMM, the Mod Organizer, or Wrye Bash/BAINS will do. NMM is the easiest to use, MO is the best (IMO) mod manager for Skyrim.

- install one mod, test in game to see if it works, before installing another mod. Absolutely do not install a bunch of mods at once.

- use BOSS to arrange the load order. Read BOSS log carefully and pay attention to any error or warning messages.

- download TES5Edit. You'll need it sooner or later.

If the game works without mods then Bethesda has done exactly what they promised. Mods are 3rd party add ons that Bethesda has no control over and you should not be blaming them for your problems. Instead - realize that MILLIONS of people are successfully modding this game - so the problem is on your end - probably not yet understanding what is actually involved in adding mods to a game. ( it is not hard to learn) Mods are not at all like a commercial game where you expect to plug in a cd and it just works. You will actually need to know a very little about the PC file structure (Where your computer puts different kinds of things). And in this case, possibly how to modify a text file, in order to play with mods successfully.

Thanks, but i am not noob in modding. I started to do clean install but there's another problem, I want to use skse but it's telling me that I need lastest version of Skyrim..Which I thought I have, but skse telling me that I have 1.9.01 instead of 1.9.02 which is interesting, because Steam should have it updated (and it did some update on start..so..whaat?)

 

Edit: I verified game data cache so I hope it will be okay now, it looks like that - racemenu working, skins probably too didn't take closer look yet and updating is in progress..steam wanted little bit kick before update appeared so maybe it will be solved soon.

 

Edit 2: Yeah it's working perfectly now :) thanks all for help.

I gave up and uninstalled everything, cleared out all files and reinstalled. Things work fine for me as well, and mods I activate actually do show up in my games now, without me having to make a new character.

It's very odd considering it was a clean install in the first place (it's a new computer).

I've seen this problem crop up on quite a few forums lately. Must be a Christmas thing.
