charlesathomas Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 So I have NMM installed and have made sure that all of the files are in the correct place. I can see the mods in the plugins section on NMM, and also in the Data Files on the Skyrim menu. Problem is, when I load the game, the mods are obviously not installed. The ones that I got from the Steam Workshop load just fine (they too show up in the Data Files), but any external ones that I have installed do not load in the game. I'm not sure what the issue is because I have been through all of the troubleshooting steps in every thread I could find. Please help! I've made sure that bEnableFileSelection=1 is in the SkyrimPrefs file.I see all of the mods in the Data folder.They are also in the plugins.txt and DLCList.txt files. Is there anything else I can do to get the NMM mods to work?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonspirit61 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I use steam as well, but avoiding using another mod installer, or loader, I just manually place the files in the data folder, which in most cases, not that difficult. Important advice too that maybe helpful to others installing mods, is make a backup of your data folder, somewhere else on a flashdrive, another harddrive, or simply just inside a new folder outside the Skyrim game folder. I do know that the Data folder can be quite big, a few, or several gigabytes. Its still much less trouble backing up your Data folder, then the possible prospect of having to reinstall Skyrim, as well as mods you already had working in Skyrim. Personally, so far I havn't had that serious of problem. There are quite a few possible ways your Skyrim game could get screwed up if you are not careful, and one of the best preventions of having to reinstall Skyrim is to backup the Data Folder.

TwitchyPoo Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Are you going inside NMM after the download and installing the mods? Making sure they say successfully activated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesathomas Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Twitchy - I am. I look in NMM in the plugins section and make sure that they are all checked (which they are). I then go into the main menu of Skyrim and I can see them in there (also checked), but I dont see a difference in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
