Mod issues

[Xant89]

Hello, im sorry to open a new thread to ask about this , but im having some problems when trying to craft mod items or finding new locations added by mods.

For example, when trying to find the items to craft in the forge i cant actually find them, same for the locations. So i were wondering, is there a way to know the ID of the modded items following a console cmd or any program?

 

Any solution to the location issue is also appreciated.

 

P.S. The game is updated to the update 5, the .esp are checked and im running SKSE.

Type the following into the console:

 

help "name of item" 0

 

You may have some issue causing plugins not to work so post back and let us know if that line returns anything.

well, i already tried with that but the problem is that i dont know the exact name of the item, for example i'll take the triss armor, inserting (help "triss armor" 0) doesnt do anything.

 

EDIT: From the readme i found that you can write in console ( help "Tailor's Yearly" 4 ) to get the ID's, the problem is still here since a lot of modders change the name of items under the help tab.

Here's my general post on plugins not working:

 

If plugins won't stay activated, or simply fail to work after activating them, first make sure the plugins.txt (and DLClist.txt) files, under the \Skyrim\ folder located at C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Local Settings\Application Data\ on XP or C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local\ on Vista/7 are writable by opening their properties and unchecking the tick mark box for "read only". Then go back into NMM and reactivate them. If they still won't work you may have a UAC issue. Some people have issues where the mod will properly appear in plugins.txt after activating it through NMM but then as soon as they launch Skyrim, it disappears again. I've yet to find the cause for this as I don't experience it, but making plugins.txt read only again after activating plugins via NMM will prevent Skyrim from removing them and they should work. Unfortunately, you'll have to make it writable, activate plugin(s), then make it read only again every time you add another plugin in the future.

 

If you're on Vista/7, Steam (and therefore Skyrim) is installed in the default (C:\Program Files) location, and you're having problems with replacers or simply mods (plugins) not working at all, even though you've activated them in NMM, or mods refusing to deactivate, even though all of their files have been removed, then you most likely have a UAC problem. It is possible to turn off UAC though it's not recommended for the vast majority of Windows users. To get around UAC without turning it completely off you'll need to move Steam to a location UAC does not affect (C:\Games\ is a commonly used location). This will most likely break any 3rd party utilities such as NMM as it will leave old registry keys behind that point to the location you originally installed Skyrim in. If you come across this issue, you'll have to uninstall Skyrim, clean the old registry keys, reboot, then reinstall Skyrim. I personally recommend using Revo Uninstaller as if you uninstall Skyrim through it, it will automatically scan for and ask if you'd like to delete old registry keys. If you're interested in keeping your old mods, config files, and/or saved games, tips found in Bben's Oblivion Reinstall Procedure work for Skyrim as well.

Well,actually i dont have these 2 txt or atleast i cant find them anywhere. Also i would like to say that the mods always worked, it's since the lastest patches that this problem started.

 

What version of the game are you running?

Look the original post, as i said im running update 5, the lastest one

 

EDIT; Playing around with proprieties on NMM seems to have worked, added "run always as administrator on all the users " on all the .exe files.

 

Thanks for all the support.
