martin1978 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Can someone please help me. I absolutely LOVE the Interesting NPC's mod (It's really wonderful) but recently I tried to install some other mods that didn't use NMM and got my load order out of whack or something else terribly wrong. I tried EVERYTHING! I finally uninstalled my game :wallbash: after I had gotten so far and even impressed my teenage son ...he FINALLY thought Mom was cool again...on Expert. But anyway back to the point... I uninstalled it and reinstalled Skyrim. I even got a NEW Nexus account but that didn't work. You see when I tried to fix my blunder I accidently deleted a file that controlled movement and no follower (vanilla or otherwise) would follow me or do ANYTHING.. they just stood there with their arms crossed. So not knowing which file to try to get back I tried to start from scratch. When I got a new version of NMM it still contained my old MODS so I went and deleted EACH one..BUT Interesting NPC's still stayed listed in the Mod panel. When I checked the plugins the only ones listed are what came with Skyrim . (I had just deleted everything and I know I clicked it to delete and thought it did but without reinstalling my mods it was still listed but no plugins. So I tried for 2 days and countless hours to delete the mod so I could pick it back up later but whenever I picked uninstall or delete in NMM it would freeze and do nothing. I even checked my folder under Data in the Steam Apps section...nothing there. Now my SKSE will not even load it crashes at the title screen. A side note: I quit the game when I noticed the followers not moving or anyone in town and tried use earlier loads with no luck and I had to force restart to get my pc up and running to start the whole starting from scratch process. If anyone could help I'd GREATLY appreciate it. I don't blame the Interesting NPC mod makers they're terrific it's just my stupidity that caused all this mess. Please I'm a stay at home mom with not much free time and two teens that virtually have their own lives now and I kinda got hooked on this game. I'm an old school side scroll gamer and THIS was my very first FIRST person shooter as my son says and I really enjoy playing in between school functions, laundry, and day to day work. This is my little hour a day recreation that I can't enjoy anymore... :sad: Please somebody help...and THANKS in advance for just listening to me rant..
Tajjara Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Sounds like you're going to need to remove some files manually. Do a manual download of Interesting NPC's, open the zip, and then find the matching files from there in your data folder. Also, if you want to reinstall the mod manager, double-check that you don't have old files remaining in the install location before you reinstall. Sometimes it leaves things behind. To regain your missing file, if it was a base-game file, go into your steam library, right click skyrim, select properties, go to the local files tab, and click 'verify integrity of game cache'. That should re-download any missing files. As for uninstalling Interesting NPCs through the manager: It's a huge mod. It does act like it's freezing and it takes forever to install or uninstall. Takes 20 mins for me to install the thing through the manager. When you hit uninstall, just let it sit for a while. It might act like it's doing nothing at first, then do what it needs to do. Are you sure it's SKSE that's crashing the title screen? Usually when a crash occurs there it's because of a mod conflict somewhere. There could be remaining files lingering around. Still though, try just redownloading and installing SKSE again. Edited October 2, 2014 by fragmentedbeauty
martin1978 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 Thank you I really appreciate all your info and I'm going to give it a try. I went back in last night and made sure I deleted all my mods and found some still listed under the games folder under computer so I searched and deleted them off. I went in and deleted all of my saves to. I'm going to try to your advise and see if I can get it to work....if I have trouble actually doing the tasks you mentioned could I message you and get a how to on the steps? I promise I will try everyway I know or am comfortable with trying first. I will do my best not to bother you. Thank you for reaching out I really appreciate it. I tried to start a new game and got some crazy glitches and the carriage couldn't even get into Riverwood during the opening sequence. So something must still be lingering somewhere. I uploaded my screen shots...even though I was frustrated I still thought it was funny enough to share. If you have time could you look at them and see what you think. Thanks again.
