danihamz1223 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) For some reason when I download non- replacing mods, that show up in the plug in section of NMM they never work. Even when i check them and play the mods do not activate in the game. When I relaunch the NMM they are unchecked even if I checked them. Any way to fix this? EDIT: Title should be NOT working my bad :) Edited February 19, 2012 by danihamz1223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 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.
