Nexus Mod Manager doesn't work properly. Help.

[Farlein]

I'm new to this and tried to mod skyrim. Half of mods works without any troubles, but some like hairs, presets and others - don't, because they installed into a wrong folder(and ofc I don't know, where is right folder for body presets for example). Any advices/fixes?

this really depends on the mods you've tried to install , as their contents determines where the files should go

but generally I would recommend that you go to the mod pages of those mods that don't work , and make sure you follow their installation instructions properly

if you want our help , it would be best if you could link to the mods that don't work for you

For example, this. First working at half: some preset looks just... terrible, even when I installed all requered mods. Other doesn't show. And the seam between head and body...

(And sorry for bad english, not native for me.)

are you sure you've properly installed both RaceMenu and BodySlide? because you need both to use face and body presets

but let's go over these 4 mods and see what you need to do

 

for the first , you say it works but looks bad

this could be due to you using the wrong mods (aside from the requirements , maybe you have other mods that ruin it) . or you could be using the wrong race for the preset . there are several options , you need to truly explain what you are doing if you really want an answer about this (though the mod author is probably the best person to ask) . as for the seam , it's probably because it's meant to be used with a specific body preset that you aren't using

 

for the second mod , you need to understand that all it includes is a BodySlide preset . this means that you need to use BodySlide and convert both the nude body as well as your armors and clothing to use this preset , if you wish to really use it (the BodySlide mod page has operation instructions , just follow them with the preset added by the mod)

 

as for the third and fourth mods , both aren't properly packaged for a mod manager installation . this means you'll need to open the downloaded archives and extract the files to the correct folder yourself , as no mod manager will know where to install them . both have the correct file path in their description , so just place the files in the described path and it should work (though it will only work well if you use all required mods , and run it on the correct race etc)

 

I hope this covers it , but feel free to ask if you have any more questions

Sorry, I'm such a newbee, but I can't find, where's body preset folder. The problem for body preset(and face preset) is that they're doesn't even show. Google doesn't gave me an answer. And yap, i'm sure that I installed body preset and body sliders. For first mod will check other mods, but I'm still sure that they don't conflict with each others(conflict mods already disabled). Problem in first preset is skin -- makiage on cheeks looks like scars from fire. Thanks for answering. If it helps, I can attach nexus mod manager window screenshot to show, what modes are enabled.

body presets go inside

 

CalienteTools -> BodySlide -> SliderPresets

this should be inside your Data folder , but it depends on which version of NMM you are using (basically if you are using a version with a virtual installation folder or not)

 

face presets go inside

 

SKSE -> Plugins -> CharGen -> Presets

this also should be inside your Data folder , but also depends on whether or not you use a virtual installation folder or not

 

body presets aren't supposed to show in game . you are supposed to see them when opening BodySlide , where you can use the building feature to build the existing assets to use this body preset . again the BodySlide mod page has great tutorials on how to do this , so you should try following them

 

face presets do show in game , when in character creation (or when opening the character creation menu , I think the command is ShowRaceMenu)

the question is do you even see the Preset tab in the character creation? if you do see the tab but not the presets , it means the presets aren't installed correctly . if you don't even see the Presets tab , it probably means you haven't installed RaceMenu properly , so you need to make sure to download and install it

 

if you still have issues regarding how a preset looks when you apply it to a character , I would recommend asking the uploading mod author , as they should know best about their own presets
