RuztyNeedle Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi there i'm new to the site and just started modding. I have ran into a problem, none of the mods I download show up in the data files when i start the game the only thing under data files is "Skyrim.esm" but nothing else. Thanks for any replies!!sincerely,Ruzty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasti89 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If you download them via NMM they should be there after you install them. If you download manually you have to unpack them and put the files in the data folder (read the readmes coming with the mods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzinnator Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think it could also depend on the types of mods. As far as I know, there are mods like texture replacers that do not actually have an .esp, but only files that you have to install. Maybe this is the case? If so, then all you have to do is copy the files and it will all work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trees415 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 When you're installing mods in esp/esm format, make sure you are placing them in the data folder located in your main skyrim installation directory. Typically, this is going to be located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data" Also, make sure that your skyrimprefs.ini file located in the Documents\My Games\Skyrim folder has the following line: [Launcher] bEnableFileSelection=1Once you've ensured those two things, you should be good to go.

RuztyNeedle Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I have double checked those things but still nothing. NMM says that it is installed but when i click on data files in skyrim nothing pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
