The troubles must be you don't have the mods that save game uses. If the uploader of the savegame did not list it you'll need something like Wrie's bash utility to (hopefully) know and download and install the missing mods.

Most savegames on Tesnexus are made at the end of the sewers. And with a minimum of mods loaded. Save games do not get downloaded into the data folder, but into the savegame folder (they are not really mods)

 

The author should let you know what mods are required in their readme. If you are not sure, OBMM has a function for this. On the main OBMM screen, look to the right, click on 'Utilities'. In the menu, select 'Save Manager'

 

If you have a lot of mods, it may take a while to load them all into the manager. Find the save and in the center of the screen it will list all of the mods that were active when the save was made, in their load order.

 

From the OBMM help:

This utility lists your save games and the plugins they depend on. You can use it to quickly sync your active plugin list to a save game.

 

The save game list can be sorted via a number of criteria using the combo box on the bottom left. Click a save game and click 'sync active plugins' to activate any plugins required by that savegame.

 

Save games are colour coded. Red saves are dependent on plugin which are not currently active. Saves turn orange if a plugin is active which the save does not depend on. Green saves mean that the active plugin list matches up with the save exactly.

 

Plugins are also colour coded. Green plugins are active. Red plugins are inactive. Black plugins mean that the plugin file could not be found.
