junjo75 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I've seen another guy with this problem (unless you're the same person from /v/). My only guess would be something to do with admin privileges. If you're not logged in as an admin, run the launcher as an admin. K. this didnt change anything. here is a screenshot. you can see that the data files option is greyed out and i cant select it. i had this problem to you need to go into skyrimprefs.ini the one thats in your games folder not the other one k....what would i change in my skyrimprefs.ini file?

If you are still having troubles with the Data Files thing, i just figured out you don't have to change the SkyrimPrefs.ini that's in the game folder, but the one that's in C:\Users\****\Documents\My Games\Skyrim. This ini didn't have the line that you suggested, adding it fixed the problem. thanks too someone else that posted this and it worked for me try it works 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junjo75 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 holy crap...this worked! i just want to say thanks to everyone here! i do get the same problem as a lot of others here though, the box will not stay checked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imrinfected Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 The solution is simple. Make the changes that you want, and then set the ini as read-only. This will make it not editable, and only readable, which means that that line cannot be removed unless you uncheck "read only". In windows, right click the file, go to properties, and check "read only". You should know how to do that already, but it doesn't hurt to explain how to do it anyway.

marty4286 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 The reason it won't stay checked was explained in the 2nd post of the thread.Loose Files refers to versions of files in the .bsas that are in the Game Data/Textures/ or Game Data/Meshes/ or etc directories that are meant to override the original versions in the .bsas. Hence "loose". They introduced that option in Fallout, but it was on by default in Morrowind and Oblivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
