problem with *.esp mods after last two updates

[ode11]

Hallo,

 

I am posting this request the second time, first time it got deleted somehow, dunno why, nevermind...

 

I have a problem with the mods that are the files in *.esp format. I have copied them into the ...skyrim/data directory properly and after opening the launcher and data files there, the mods are not visible in that screen at all, not tickable. I mean for example these mods:

Better Sorting - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2730

More craftables - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=799

Better werewolf - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4102

No Werewolf Form Cooldown - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2907

 

THE PROBLEM APPEARED AFTER I have updated the last two updates: http://store.steampowered.com/news/?feed=steam_updates&appids=72850

before if was working without problems - copied the mod files with extension *.esp into the skyrim/data folder, opened skyrim launcher->data files, ticked them there and it was working, now not anymore.

 

Any clues anybody how to make these mods work also after the update?

 

Thank you in advance for your tips

Navigate to the \Skyrim\ folder in C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Local Settings\Application Data\ or C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local\ on Vista/7 and make it writable by unchecking the "read only" tick box under properties. If it asks to apply the change to files contained in that folder choose yes.

 

Then reactivate the mods through NMM. Once you've activated mods through NMM do not open the Data Files section of the launcher again... ever. Just opening it could potentially mess up your load order causing issues ranging from broken mods to CTD on startup.

I've try as you suggested but the problem is the read only tick box keep on checked after OK.

aha, thank you. but...what if I did not download these mods using the mod manager and therefore I can not see them in the "plugins" screen of the mod manager. how to reactivate them there then?

ah, looks like I have figured it out: in the mod manager - mods- add mod from file - zip file of the mod - open and then activate mod.

thanks!!

The \Skyrim\ folder itself does get the read only attribute reapplied by Windows, but the two files contained in it do not (plugins.txt and DLClist.txt). These two files are what's really important...
