REinstall of skyrim

[VonLucifig]

I was having problems with my skyrim so I did a clean install. I disabled and deleted all of the mods I had from inside NMM just to be sure I got everything. Now when I try to download certain mods that I had before they don't show up in my NMM, like KShairdos or ponytail hairstyles for example... I'm wondering if there's something I've missed that I needed to clear out of NMM before doing a clean install of my Skyrim...

/// If you widh to continue with your current installation :

• Go in your C:\games\Nexus Mod Manager\Skyrim\Mods and see if it contains the archives of the mods you're trying to install.
• Try the NMM "add from file" function to install those mods.
• If it didn't work, you may have to reinstall NMM. Make a backup of the archives contained in the C:\games\Nexus Mod Manager\Skyrim\Mods + make a backup of your load order.txt.
• Uninstall /reinstall NMM.
• Try to install a mod through Nexus again.
• Use the NMM "add from file" function to install the mods archives you've backuped.

/// if you want a more stable game and a better gaming experience, here are some suggestions :

1. Make skyrim vanilla again, if not already been done, will ensure a pristine condition game.
2. Before installing any mod at first, you may use an efficient guide to build your game : STEP or STEP legendary. Some of the tips below are already covered by STEP.
3. Use crash fixes with the UseOSAllocators=1 enabled.
4. Skse installation : skse on steam or Manual install. (SKSE, memory and skse.ini). SKSE logs are here : C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SKSE. SKSE troubleshooting guide.
5. Install ENBOOST >> ENB graphics / ENB haxx.
6. Make sure you're using the latest USLEEP instead of the obsolete unofficial patches. If some of your old mods require them, you may use the USLEEP swap masters.
7. Make sure you're using the good mods >> Dangerous mods list.
8. Use L.O.O.T once and click on the "sort plugins buttons".
9. Clean your master files to eliminate potential problems : Gopher's videos cleaning your masterfiles on the Nexus Tesedit page. You may use this updated guide to clean your masters. It contains the same automated cleaning procedure as Gopher explains in his video + repeating once for Dawnguard.esm + some selective manual cleaning.
10. The method above can be used to clean mods. LOOT should tell you which plugin you should clean. You may also do a check errors.
11. Create a wryebash patch including leveled lists.
12. Create a merged patch with Tesedit excluding leveled lists
13. How things work in Tes5edit : load order / conflict looser - winner / Forwarding / adding as a master. More specifically, you may create a manual patch between two or more mods.
14. Don't uninstall mods at mid-game, there are no clean save in Skyrim but using save script cleaner can help removing orphan scripts.
15. New SkyrimTools, (corrupt saves topic).

Hope this helps.
