Se5696 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I've spent the last two days (Literally from the second I wake up to the time i go to sleep) trying to install nexus mods onto my computer without any success.Its a Brand new computer I had just built the day before, Im using a SSD as my boot drive and a 3tb Hard Drive to store everything else. I bought Skyrim off Steam and installed it, and installed the Nexus Mod Manager. After downloading about 20 mods, I activated each and everyone in the NMM and they all say they were successfully activated. I launch Skyrim via steam and click data files and the only things that show up is the hearthfire and dragonborn.esm files. I went to Games/NexusModManager/Mods and copied all the various .rar, .7z, and other compressed files and extracted them to ProgramFiles (86)\steam\steamapps\skyrim\common\data (where i found hearthfire and dragonborn's files) and then a fraction of my mods worked/showed up in datafiles. I know texture mods dont show up, but many other ones didnt show up either. At this point I literally dont know what else to do. I've wiped my hardrive twice, reinstalled skse, skyrim, nnm,all the mods, 2 or 3 times and each and every time it never works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaniguana Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Make sure you're running NMM as admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project579 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Consider moving your Skyrim to another directory like documents if u want to mod it programfiles is a folder that needs high level rights to be accessed/modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
