Zonkblox Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Downloaded some mods using NMM and activated them but none of them have appeared in the game, I have started a new character and they still aren't there. Attachments are pictures of the NMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well, have you tried to make the items? All the mods I actually know from that list need you to actually go to the forge, to have the correct smithing level and materials so you can make them.

Zonkblox Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 But the mods like bloodier combat, extra races and arrow smithing should add a perk to the smithing tree. The game save I downloaded didn't show up either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etang2 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I installed them manually which worked really well, also if your getting conflicts, use wrye bash although I prefere TESVsnip as it is more user friendly(but a helva lot more bugged) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonkblox Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 I will uninstall all the mods and manually install a mod to see if it works that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBN5100 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) No, I wouldn't recommend manually installing mods, it can lead to... Ugh, a messy game folder, which can potentially bloat up your game or make things complicated.Though, do me a favor and navigate to "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Skyrim" and copy and paste your "plugins.txt" file.

Zonkblox Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 I can't find what you wanted to look at sorry. I think I have figured it out anyway.I manually downloaded the file then clicked "Add Mod from File" in NMM and clicked the zip file and then activated them and it worked. Well I have only tried SkyUI so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etang2 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 If you choose to use the NNM way, it can lead to uncompleted installations because some of the mod paths within the RAR or whatever format you download it in isnt correct.For example, to install a mod say More NPC, the path is(In the RAR) files/MoreNpcs.esm and plus a script file but occasionally the path wont start with data, which it should and there fore it will not be correctly installed, although, I agree on the messy folder point, if you feel capable, manually installation is good way to ensure correct installation.Also, if you choose this method, remember to enable them through the SKYRIM LAUNCHER under the DATA FILES option on the launcher and tick the boxes.

Zonkblox Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Would putting each mod into their own folder in he data folder still work? That way it won't be as messy.Also I'm not able to click Data Files (Picture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etang2 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Firstly, no, putting each mod into a file unfortunately doesn't work as the TESV application reads ESM's and ESPs from the data file and therefore they must be directly placed in the file. As for the blanked out Data Files, locate the file C:\users\(YourUserName)\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini (Windows 7), open it, should open in word pad, and seach using ctrl+f, Launcher should look like this[Launcher]under this title, add the line "bEnableFileSelection=1", minus the quotes.It should be available. Post if that works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
