Perraine Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 This has been covered M_A_N_Y times before but ... Have you edited your "SkyrimPrefs.ini" file with "notepad" ? (it's usually in your "** user name**\My documents\ My Games\Skyrim" folder, or similar place depending on your Windows version) if you scroll down the lines of stuff you should come to a [Launcher] section, underneath you should find the line "bEnableFileSelection=" (if It's not there you can add it ) It should be =1 to allow data files to be selected. If it says =0 or is not there, that's what's causing your problem. If you've done that and It's still not working, try refreshing the local game cache in steam to see if there are any corrupted files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that might only be necessary if you are not using the mod manager and instead checking load loose files, or you are installed under program files x86 and it is giving you trouble. To correct your issue be sure to reset archive invalidation in the mod manager anytime you install a mesh or texture replacer so the changes will take affect.
