Possible Workaround If You Find Textures and Meshes Have Empty Folders

[Deleted30666895User]

I love to Mod Skyrim, and I am posting this if anyone is having problems with NMM not installing textures or meshes. I have used NMM fine for years. I now have an SSD drive, and installed NMM there and run NMM as Admin. I have had recent problems which might not be universal. I can install mods with textures and meshes with Wrye Bash, so that tells me I have no permissions problems on my drive. But Wrye Bash has no Fomod install ability as yet, but I hear they are working on that. This issue may not apply to a lot of you. I searched the forums for others who might have this issue, some found if you run as Admin and have NMM on the same drive everything is OK, but many others are still in my situation, who knows the reason.

I have also found that Mods which are BSA packed have no issues installing with NMM. But mods that are not BSA packed, and have a structure that includes meshes and or texture folders, install empty folders in my case.

My workaround is to go to the virtual folder for the game involved, in my case I have found all the textures and meshes are installed in the virtual folder, so I just copy and paste manually into my data folder. If you install direct from NMM the folder will have a number, that number can be seen in NMM. If you downloaded manually and installed via the zip file into NMM, then the virtual folder will will show the mods name.

As I say this will be not be universal, but if the reader is in my weird position, then I hope this helps
