Having Nexus Mod Manager problems, crashes after loading program.

[MistaBusy]

Hey there, I'm brand new to these forums, but felt like I had nowhere else to go... I played skyrim with various mods for years, with and without ctds throughout, but now I cant even seem to open the mod manager... After taking a break for the summer, then just coming back now, it wouldn't let me open at all.. I've tried manually deleting all skyrim/skyrimspecialedition/nexus files, and uninstalled all three. After reinstalling nexus multiple times last night I felt like I'm lost now.

bump.. any help at all? after messing around with it all day here, I can only get it to the point where I can install the mods, but as soon as I try activating them it crashes NMM.. I've tried running as admin, deleting the plugin file, deleting all mods and reinstalling everything. I wouldn't have asked if I could figure it out myself hahah, but it seems NMM is causing problems for many, although all their fixes do nothing for me.

Kind of old...but I'm a Necromancer, so it's OK.

 

If you have a SINGLE corrupt .zip/.rar file in the "Mods" folder for NMM, it WILL crash without error message. If you were to unpack the same file with either 7Zip or Winrar, it would fail and give you an error message. NMM has no such error reporting, so it simply crashes. Keep in mind that NMM examines every file in that folder every time it loads, so the problem may pop up unexpectedly. If it did so, without any new mods being installed, you may have a bad sector on your hardrive and a file is corrupted that way.

 

Start diggin out suspect mod files (the most recent) and try to open them with 7Zip or Winrar. If you find one is corrupt, remove that file and redownload it, making sure it is not corrupt, and try again.

 

Ciao!
