KwiliBadness Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Hey everyone, I'm really in need of help from anyone who's better with computers than myself. A few months back, I attempted to install SKSE, (for Skyrim, by the way) and have royally screwed something up with NMM in the process. I can't even be sure what I did, but every time I try to run NMM it just shows me this box that says: "You are missing C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\downloading\72850\Data\skyrim.esmPlease verify your game install and ensure (^That^) is present." I've tried everything, completely restored my computer to it's default settings (for another reason as well), uninstalled and re-installed Skyrim, Steam, and NMM but nothing seems to fix it. Steam works just fine, and the game plays perfectly. I just can't get NMM to work. Oblivion on NMM works as well, it's just Skyrim NMM. I'm really getting tired of using Steam only, as the best stuff is on here. Someone, please help this extremely computer-illiterate person. Also, please keep the mean comments to yourself if you can, yes I should have never attempted to install it not knowing how to do squat, and I did follow a tutorial but I made one wrong move and moved one folder to the wrong place. I can guarantee I won't be trying it again, if I can even get it fixed. Thank you all for the help!

Deleted6889352User Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Greetings, I am very bad at computer, so I do not know if it will help you, but did you try the option of "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" in steam ?The correct location for Skyrim.esm is "your install drive and folder(s)>\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data" I do not know if it could help you, but we never know :smile: Sorry for my bad english.

KwiliBadness Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) No apologies needed, your English is fine :smile: I have tried this now, and it says "1 file(s) failed to validate and will be reacquired." NMM still doesn't want to open, I'm not sure what it could be. It seems to only be a problem with Skyrim NMM, because it works fine with my other games. Could that mean something? **I have just tried to download off of Nexus, and it caused it to open no problem after about 6 months of trying to get it open. But now it is saying the version I have is so old that I can only open in Offline Mode. I have opened in Offline Mode, but when I click on update NMM, it doesn't do anything. Is that an easy thing to fix? I thank you very much! Edited February 23, 2014 by KwiliBadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KwiliBadness Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Ah, I think I have solved the problem! Or it seems to have solved itself. I have updated it from the website itself and now runs like normal. I thank you for the help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
