robertaroe Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I cannot get any mod to load dispite following the advice given by these youtube vids by Gopher https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE7DlYarj-DdhDG41roBVJfNCqvO5MmKP Apparently the problem is that your mods won't work with windows 8.... HELP ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormolus Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm running Windows 8.1 and my mods work just fine (though with occasional crashes, but that's to be expected with how many mods I'm running and I suspect some overheating). What problem(s) exactly are you experiencing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertaroe Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 I downloaded the Mod Manager program and installed it, I then downloaded a mod and attempted to install it. This it refused to do and gave an error message, I checked and it said would not run whilst in the program file.I uninstalled the mod manager and reinstalled it this time to my Window file, I then set up the program and again downloaded the Mod once again I get the same error message from the Mod Manager program.As I run Windows 8.2 I am unable to download to my desktop, I therefor think the Mod Manager is incompatible with Windows 8.2, if you have a work around please tell me.

Valkasha Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Do you have enough space in your C drive? Installing a mod creates a temporary file on your C drive the size of the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormolus Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Firstly, I have no idea what Windows 8.2 is as Gogle is surprisingly unhelpful on that front, talking as if it's not out yet. Secondly, a screenshot of the error message would really help, but it sounds like your mods can't be placed in the Program File folder(s). If you can't install it to your desktop, try installing it somewhere like My Documents. Also, double-check where the Mod Manager is saving the mods and where it's installing them.

Eyam3 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Never used mod manager, I've used Nexus/Loot/Wrye Bash - but I'm sure I've read or seen something saying not to install Skyrim in Program Files (apparently that's where Steam tries to put it by default). I've got my Skyrim elsewhere (a Games folder I created), use Windows 8 & have loads of mods installed & working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertaroe Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 When saving to Windows 8 (if not upgraded) it only allows you to download to a restricted section when installing the Mod Manager, these are all in the program section as I have previously stated and thus it is incompatible, unless you can explain a get around.

I don't know, I've got Skyrim in Program Files and haven't really had a problem, in fact, I've got NMM installed in the default location, I didn't have to change anything when installing Skyrim or NMM and both work fine. Maybe with a screenshot of the error message it'd be a little easier to figure out what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
