lonegreywolf20 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 After I installed the mod manager it's asking me where to store the mods. The path has it at /The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim/mods. Shouldn't the mods be going into your data folder as many of the mods instruct or is the default location shown for Nexus Mod Manager correct?

Vannus Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) That's just the directory the mods are downloaded to, not installed. Think of it as a folder that they're stored (compressed) for the purposes of mod managing, where they can be disabled and re-enabled again. Edit: It also uses the directory for storing other data about the current state of mods, including files overwritten by enabling mods that may have already been in your data folder originally (if you manually installed any).
