My apologies all, my ini file checks out, data files is working but any mods I have set up, including any using nexus mod manager dont show up in the data files section at all (especially titanis which always showed up before)

my steamm platform went up the swanny so had to relaod it, re-downloaded skyrim and now my mods just wont show up

Searching for the .ini file worked for me and then I copy and pasted the [Launcher] line that has been linked many times in this thread.

 

Thanks everyone.

i have a problem. after changing the .ini file when i open the launcher can click on data files, but when i start the game it crashes, can't figure out why

Alright ill show the best solution and it will work.

 

 

go into your skyrimpref.ini under mygames in documents. Ctrl +F find launcher and yourll see something like this:

 

[Launcher]

bShowAllResolutions=1

uLastAspectRatio=3

 

edit it to look like this:

 

[Launcher]

bShowAllResolutions=1

uLastAspectRatio=3

bEnableFileSelection=1

 

save and exit and it should work

Do exactly as he says about the ctrl f and replace in that location, mine would'nt load because I had it at the end. Thank you DarkoVaultTech

In ... C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Skyrim

make loadorder.txt, plugins.txt and DLCList.txt all say the same thing

copy/paste ... run Skyrim. Fixed

 

patch reset your plugins.txt

 

I also after this was fixed, went to Steam and validated my Skyrim data.

Stopped all the CTD and freezes after patch. Running fine now.

Hey If you move

 

[Launcher]

bShowAllResolutions=0

uLastAspectRatio=2

bEnableFileSelection=1

 

to the top of each skyrim.prefs.ini it works.

Yup, ive got the same issue and anything I do will not rememdy it. What's weird is that the SkyrimPrefs.ini file already had bEnableFileSelection set at "1" originally, but still wouldn't allow me to access the data files in the launcher. It's all jacked up, considering just doing a fresh install...I want to punch a face, but unfortunately mine is the closest one to me...
