Kryzax Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi does anyone know what's going on here? Got a weird problem with mods. They work just fine (aside from the odd CTD) but when I goto the mods section in game the mods don't show as downloaded. When I do download the mod In the hopes it will overwrite the old mod the mod just ends up disabled. Any ideas would be great i'd like to eliminate these ctds!

Jannifer Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It would help if we knew how you are installing the mods. If you're using NMM or MO, then the mods won't show up in the mods section of the Skyrim launcher. That's because NMM and MO use virtual install systems which do not write the files to the Skyrim\Data folder. NMM puts an .esp in the Data folder, but it's a placeholder which tells the game where to find the mod information. If you download the updated version of one of your mods, you still have to install it. If the modder has given specific instructions on how to install an update, be sure that you follow them to the letter. CTD's are a fact of life in a TES game. You might be able to figure out if there's a specific mod or mod conflict that's causing the problems if you start taking notes on where and when a CTD happens. If you're getting them consistently in the same place or the same situation, then you at least have a place to start for troubleshooting. Installing mods is as much art as science, and it's sometimes a slow and painful process. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I completely forgot that this happens thank you :) Was hoping to be lazy but manual updates it is! Not played for a while you see. Just played the Forgotten City mod, amazing!
