where can a newb go?

[MadMax414th]

Where can a newb go to watch or read a specific play by play walkthru on how to use mods in skyrim? I have started Skyrim SE and I can not find the location that displays data files to "check." I need a basic tutorial to watch. I can not remember how I used them b4.

Thanks a lot.

Have you tried googling? Youtube is chock full of videos on modding Skyrim. Also, you are aware that there is a seperate SE page?

No, I did not but thank you. I was looking specifically for an answer to where I can see the data file check box option, as I don't see them, even when launching via NMM. By any chance can you tell me where the Data file location is where I find the checkbox? I thought they showed up at start of game when I launched via NMM.

That box won't pop up if you're launching with the Skyrim SKSE icon (although it actually still should if Steam isn't running, but then you won't be actually running SKSE, and will have to close and start again). I can't really speak for Steam or NMM, because I've never used them to launch the game.

 

There is a toggle in NMM 0.56.1 that allows you to see the data files as you would on that screen you're referring to. But you probably have a much later version, so I can't help there, either. Ultimately, if you launch with the skyrim.exe icon rather than the Skyrim (SKSE) icon, it should allow you to access that menu. You'll just have to exit and relaunch with SKSE.
