********MODS REFUSE TO INSTALL PLEASE HELP*********

[Deleted31521945User]

Some mods, when I try to install them, just won't install. When I download them through Nexus Mod Manager, then try to activate them, I get a message in the activation queue saying that, "A problem has occurred" without telling me what problem it is. I've tried disabling and re-enabling the mods, and even deleting and uninstalling them and then reinstalling them from the Nexus website, but I get nothing. This is only a problem with the following mods

10 people see this and not a single person helps.

I have been thinking on this. There could be a couple problems. First, check on your NMM, and make sure it's up to date. Second, check the properties of NMM, and see if it's set to admin. Third, if they won't activate, or install, then try this, manually downloading the mods, run NMM, and try installing that way. Fourth, if all else fails, try Settlement Keywords Expanded. May help, may not. You may have to switch to Mod Organizer 2. But something here may help.

[quicksilverva]

Maybe nobody has an answer for you? If you haven't done it already, make a thread in the NMM section of the forums.

try to use mod organizer 2 i had the same problem where in the nexus menu was installed however when i went to the data file none of the mod where installed.

[SirTwist]

Mod Organizer does not install mods to the Data folder. You should not install anything, aside from F4SE stuff, to the Data folder. It keeps it nice and clean, which is what you want. Where MO installs mods to is typically (where you have MO installed)\Mod Organizer 2\Mods. I have an individual set up for each game I play, that uses Mod Organizer/MO2. This way, I don't have to try to figure what is what, and what goes where. It helps. I also place MO in the game folder. It is never a good idea to install mods, with a mod manager, directly to the Data folder. NMM and Mod Organizer have options for separate folders. The reason you want to keep your data folder clean is so if there is something that goes wrong, it's fairly easy to troubleshoot. And if you run the game other than through either one, you won't get mods in your game. It will be vanilla.

Couldn't hurt to run a hard drive check. Maybe there's a file system error - happened to me a couple of times over the years.

Run CMD as an administrator, type:

chkdsk X: /f /r

X stands for the hard drive/partition you want to scan which would obviously be the one where Fallout 4 is installed.

You might have to reboot the PC if it's on a system drive - it'll do the check during the reboot process.
