Raketdelarn Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hey Guys! I'm having problems with my mods. I downloaded about 25 mods and none of them works. I know why. I can't open the Data Files folder in the launcher. You guys are probably thinking that i need to write "bEnableFileSelection=1" [launcher], but i already have that written. I have no idea why it doesn't work and could someone please help!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werne Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) You already described what you need to do, but you probably did it wrong.It needs to be in SkyrimPrefs.ini and it needs to look like this:[Launcher] bEnableFileSelection=1 Edited April 8, 2012 by Werne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raketdelarn Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Are you supposed to have some other documents or something in the "Skyrim" folder? beqause I only have the skyrimprefs.ini and i think i read something about something else that's supposed to be there.

trees415 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Are you supposed to have some other documents or something in the "Skyrim" folder? beqause I only have the skyrimprefs.ini and i think i read something about something else that's supposed to be there.There are two "SkyrimPrefs.ini" files. The one that you need to edit is in the folder where your gamesaves are stored, which is usually located in the "Documents\My Games\Skyrim" directory. The other one is located in the game's main installation folder, and the full file-path should be something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini". edited both files just to be safe, but the former is the one that matters.

Raketdelarn Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Is it the same thing if you have it on disc and not on Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werne Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Is it the same thing if you have it on disc and not on Steam? Both are on steam, the game from the disc requires steam to run too, if you don't have it, it will automatically be installed. And both are the same, only pirated copies are different due to change in code in order to circumvent the DRM. And as trees415 said, DO NOT edit the SkyrimPrefs.ini in steam/steamapps/common/skyrim. You need to edit the one in My Documents/My Games/Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raketdelarn Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Wait.. Is it not supposed to say "bEnableFileSelection=1" in the skyrimprefs in the Skyrim folder in the place where the "Data" folder is? I'm having lots of trouble with this.

Raketdelarn Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Or is it possible to enable mods without going to "Data Files" in the launcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werne Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is it not supposed to say "bEnableFileSelection=1" in the skyrimprefs in the Skyrim folder in the place where the "Data" folder is? No. Or is it possible to enable mods without going to "Data Files" in the launcher? It's possible to enable mods like that, but you still need that line in SkyrimPrefs.ini, otherwise they won't load. And by the way, where is your game located (mine is in D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim) and what is your game version (is it updated)?

Raketdelarn Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 C:/Program Files (x86)/The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim/ is where I have my skyrim folders. I think I have version 1.1.21.0 And how do I enable them without accessing the launcher? Non-steam directory installation, outdated game.... User banned for piracy - TVD.
