Borborygmus Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 im having a lot of mod problems. (WiS doesnt work at all, it just randomly stopped oneday) so i thought i could delete skyrim and reinstall, doing mods more properly this time. i uninstalled skyrim, and reinstalled, but all mods were still active and present in data file. i had thought they would get deleted automatically, but i was wrong. i want to know if i will do damage by manually deleting all my mods, and then the data folder, and THEN uninstalling skyrim, and then finally reinstalling. i just want to get back to vanilla so i can figure out what went wrong, and install mods more consciously this time.

AlphaWoIF Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just a bit of info from my experience when i manually deleted all mod folders the game had issues , but i managed to fix it by removing recent saves when the content was active and loaded up an older one, fixed all my problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
