Khailik Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I can't click on my data files button on the launcher to enable some mods. I have added the enable command in the .ini, and I have downloaded the NMM but I can't get half of my mods to work because they just don't seem to be getting detected. I've never had this issue with Fallout 3, New Vegas, or Oblivion. I've always heavily used mods without any issues until not and I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Just as an example one of the mods I'm trying to use is the JaYSuS swords mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MShoap13 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Use NMM, and avoid the Data Files section of the launcher. It can potentially mess up your load order and cause all kinds of problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I enable them and click launch Skyrim it just opens up the normal launcher and NMM turns off. When I turn it back on all of the mods are unchecked.

MShoap13 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 If you're on Vista/7, Steam (and therefore Skyrim) is installed in the default (C:\Program Files) location, and you're having problems with replacers or simply mods (plugins) not working at all, even though you've activated them in NMM, or mods refusing to deactivate, even though all of their files have been removed, then you most likely have a UAC problem. It is possible to turn off UAC though it's not recommended for the vast majority of Windows users. To get around UAC without turning it completely off you'll need to move Steam to a location UAC does not affect (C:\Games\ is a commonly used location). This will most likely break any 3rd party utilities such as NMM as it will leave old registry keys behind that point to the location you originally installed Skyrim in. If you come across this issue, you'll have to uninstall Skyrim, clean the old registry keys, reboot, then reinstall Skyrim. I personally recommend using Revo Uninstaller as if you uninstall Skyrim through it, it will automatically scan for and ask if you'd like to delete old registry keys. If you're interested in keeping your old mods, config files, and/or saved games, tips found in Bben's Oblivion Reinstall Procedure work for Skyrim as well. After you've moved it, go find the \Skyrim\ folder at C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local\ and make it writable by going to it's properties and unchecking the read only tick box.
