"Load Loose Files" Issue

[Deleted3174255User]

I have a non-steam version of this game.

I've got Data Files working but...when I check off "Load Loose Files" and press okay, it gets unselected the next time I open Data Files again in the launcher. If I check it off and run the game, it clearly hasn't worked. Is there an ini value to make it load loose files? I want it to work bad enough that I've tried re-installing Skyrim but nothing.

I've yet to see a solution to this issue, as I've had it myself ever since the game launched. Doing a Nexus Forum search will show several other threads with no real solutions either.

 

Most of my mods don't require it to be check marked, but a few do. I imagine some people must be able to keep it checkmarked, or the mods that require it wouldn't have been made and uploaded with screenshots. :D How they are keeping it checkmarked is a mystery, that none seem to want to share.

no, they dont keep it check-marked, as the function still works perfectly without the check-mark. Edited December 6, 2011 by thc002

I downloaded a mod to fix the 'females are dirty even with no dirt" problem, which requires this, as well as some cosmetics mods, and right now none of them work as yet.

I took these instructions from FAQ section of Enhanced Blood Textures

(--No "data files" option in the launcher--

Open SkyrimPrefs.ini. File can be found in:

...\Documents\My Games\Skyrim

 

Find [Launcher] and add this line below it:

bEnableFileSelection=1 )

 

 

It fixed my problem immediately. I hope this is what you needed!
