WastelandAssassin Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 right click on the folder , choose propertiesin the bottom of the opened menu , there should be written attributes , next to it should be a checkbox with 'hidden' , and another with 'read only'make sure the 'read only' one isn't checkedif it is , uncheck it and apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WastelandAssassin Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 the folders that contain NMM , I would assumeat the very least the Install Info folder , though it could go as far as the NMM folder (I would assume your Games folder isn't set to read only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Usually your Skyrim.ini folder in Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition. When you first try to access a game with NMM and that ini file is set to read only NMM will often tell you that and ask if you want to change that. If you have not launched the game from the Steam launcher to create the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini you will get that message. If those two files are there then do as WastelandAssassin said and that should fix your problem. If that does not fix your problem then I guess you will just have to search for the files or folders which are set to read only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williaal2 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Best solution Iâve found for this is to install Skyrim and mod manager on a separate drive. Avoids admin issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
