Mod Issue Fustercluck

[Battlefield4x]

I'm gonna start this off slow because it's a whole confusing mess. Basically Nexus's is telling me that I can't put the mod folder into my game data directory, HOWEVER I'm also trying to get bodyslide to work, and it says that I need to have the the outfits and textures installed into my game DATA DIRECTORY so I can fix the no image error, however, it wont let me put the mods into the said directory, the files are loading into the appdata folder pathway. But when I try to enable BS/OS, another issue is that for some reason despite me being the admin on my PC it's telling me that that the admin has to give permission for it to open in the folder but when I try to give permission it just sends me back. P.S. I'm using McAfee so I can't just give exception to the folder cause it's being stupid.

Sometimes trial and error is the only way. I remebr getting bodyslide to work a couple years ago when I tried it. And despite good help struggled, then one day I must have tried the right thing and it suddenly worked

Just for your information, since you said you don't know how you fix it, the mods you download are archives, not the installed form of your mods.

Thus when Nexus told you that the mods do not go into the game directory, this is correct because the mod archives need to be in a separate directory (preferably on the same drive as the game) so that your mod manager can keep track of what files it installs from where to where.

Generally a mod manager has three different locations:

a) Mod directory where you keep the mod archives you install

b) Game directory (where the mod manger will place files and directories as needed)

c) virtual folder (where it keeps track of your installation, files, load order, etc.).

If you don't have all three folders in the same drive, you may have issues as Windows security will try to block copying files and will try to make symbolic links to files which in general is insufficient for the mods to work.

If you try to put your mod directory into your game directory, everything will get confused and messed up. So it's good that Nexus did not allow you to do that.
