You probably have a read only problem. Below is an excellent tutorial I just stole from Volek talking about one of his mods. The instructions will work for any plugin though.

Installation:

 

* Extract the content of the zip file to your Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data folder (or extract only the plugin you really want)

 

* Locate the file C:\Users\{your user name}\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini. Open it and search for the [Launcher] section. Add this line: "bEnableFileSelection=1" (without quotes). Then start the Skyrim launcher, the previously greyed out "Data Files" option is now available and you can select the plugin(s) that you wanna use from the list.

 

If this somehow doesn't work, use this workaround:

 

* Locate the file C:\Users\{your user name}\AppData\Local\Skyrim\plugins.txt. The Appdata folder is hidden so make sure that your OS shows hidden files. Edit plugins.txt and insert a new line that contains the name of the plugin that you wanna use, for example if you wanna Jump 125 units high, edit the plugins.txt like this:

 

 

# This file is used by Skyrim to keep track of your downloaded content.

# Please do not modify this file.

Skyrim.esm

jump125.esp

 

 

Ignore the comment about modifying this file and save it. Then right-click the file, select Properties, and enable Read-Only. If you wanna use other plugins too, disable read-only and add their names to the list, then re-enable Read-Only.

 

 

 

Consider this file a modder's resource, do whatever you want with it. Credits would be nice :)

thanx i didnt have data file enabled

i actually read this and the tutorial for realistic ragdoll mod before i posted this thread. both said the same thing, whats missing is, there are actually 2 skyrimprefs.ini files, one in 'game directory/ skyrim' and another in 'my document/mygame/skyrim' boths needs bEnableFileSelection=1, that was what confused me
