Hanker109 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi! I tried to manaully install mods in Skyrim to no avail. I unzip the file, copy the esp and paste it in: Steam\Steam Apps\Common\Skyrim\Data. Whe I activate the game, the Data File in the main menu looks shadowed, like there are no mods to check. Can someone help please? Thanks in advance. I'm sorry for the duplicate. I don't know how to erase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Have you tried going to your ini and making sure that bEnableFileSelection=1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordspence Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have the same problem as Hanker, and yeah ive checked my bEnableFileSelection=1 Anyone got any other solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzibeatle Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I have the same problem as Hanker, and yeah ive checked my bEnableFileSelection=1 Anyone got any other solutions? Let me take a stab at this. Have both of you verified that bEnableFileSelection=1 is inthe SkyrimPrefs.ini located in your USER directory tree. Which is on most systems something like this.c:/Users/DirectShortToGround\My Games\Skyrim WHere the DirectShortToGround would be whatever name your user name is on that system. IF that fails to work make sure the same ini by the same name in the Skyrim executable dir has the same line entered as well.Which is R:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini Or whatever directory path your system has STeam located in. If that does not work then your stuck in some episode of Twighlight Zone and nobody can help you. Cept maybe the Flying Spagetti Monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I duplicted the SkyrimPrefs.ini file and moved it to my data folder (a precaution whilst I was following your instructions) the problem was fixed, turns out it has to exist in both the common/data folder as well as the MyGames/Skyrim folder and for some bizarre reason it didnt on mine. Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzibeatle Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Methinks this issue needs to be in some super sticky FAQ as I see a lot of people seem to run into this one. I'm not sure how I avoided the issue here. I live in a fog so I can't recall why I never had the problem. Hah. Glad to have been of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilightKiller Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 i was able to click data files and activate the mods i got through NMM. but game crashes immediatly now after i click play. any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Error404NotFound Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 try to run BOSS.it will change your mod loading order to avoid conflicts.Most crashes are related to conficts with mods. one mod needs a file from another mod, but the other mod is under the mod, who needs the file in the load order.
