external changes issue with a skyrim mod need help.


Recommended Posts

i downloaded this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40728 and it worked fine but then i tried to downloaded this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/62773 and it said something about changes outside of vortex and now the one piece of the first outfit looks really stretched even if uninstall reinstall the mod any help would be appreciated thank you.

Now every time i even download a new mod it asks me about the one mod having external changes and whether or not to save or revert i selected revert but nothing changed.

This is all for skyrim special edition by the way.

You might have more success posting on the Skyrim SE forum.  Get there by using 'Game Communities' under 'Browse' at the top of the page, scroll down/search for Skyrim.  It is usually close to the top.  Join the forum(s) you wish to post in.

Which mod does Vortex cite in the warning?  You could try to go to the mod's page and ask there.  In any case, it is probably a mod that is trying to restore itself, in the same way as one of my CBBE3BA mods adds a _merged file to establish some install variables, which Vortex detects as an external change, in spite of the fact that the mod adding the merge was installed through Vortex.

Have you tried to save the change, and see what happens?  You can always uninstall/reinstall the offending mod later, if you choose.  Just make a save in the game before you do any of this, so you won't have as great a chance for problems in making changes later.

Unless set up very, very correctly Bodyslide creates files in the game folder and those are "external" to Vortex.

Usually, just accepting the changes (using the "newer" ones) will result in Vortex updating the files in the staging folder and make it work correctly.
