HELP! Can't click on data files

[Deleted1754360User]

i can't click on it,its just a gray text. "bEnableFileSelection=1" is already in the skyrimprefs ini so idk what to do!?

 

 

EDIT: apparently you have to add it to the top of the list and i've been adding it at the bottom..

This line needs to be under the [Launcher] section of the SkyrimPrefs.ini located in C:\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\.

I have the same problem with data files being greyed, but also, Nexus mod manager won't work for me. It's like my computer is totally against me modding

Hey Guys. I just created a nexus account, because I want to make your day

Follow this instructions very caerfully, ok.

 

1.go to "My Pc"

2. in there go to "Program Archives (x86)"

3. then to "The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim"

4. then into "Skyrim"

5. Open "SkyrimPref" and copy the very last line, This line "bEnableFileSelection=1" if its not =1, CHANGE IT IN THAT FILE!

6. now go to "My Documents" and into "My Games"

7. then open "Skyrim" and open "SkyrimPref"

8. Now Search for "[Luncher]"

9. when you find it, under it, copy "bEnableFileSelection=1" this in. MAKE SURE its =1

now it should look like this:

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

bShowAllResolutions=0

uLastAspectRatio=3

 

NOW TRY TO SELECT THE DATA FILES AND TELL ME IF IT WORKED, IT DID FOR ME AND TOOK ME A WILE TO FIGURE OUT, GLAD TO HELP!

man, are you using MAC or Win?

 

and check what you are opening it with, use the "note blog" or whatever "blog de notas" in spanish NOT the word pad....i think....that how i did it.

 

another thing you could do is to backup the "skyrimprefs" and tweak the propertys such as the security and check "Total Control" to users and admins try to open it as administrator... take it to another computer and edited there then take it back and replace it back on yours

 

a mean i just vomiting solutions here but you know hope it helped.

sorry

[RipSlow]

well it worked, i can now go into data files, but none of the files ive put in the data folder are visible tho, so now to fix this problem >.<
