Red Sonja doesn't like my Xbox.

[MarkTheFiddler]

Howdy JWD and Nexus modders.

My favorites are the original Red and Valeria. Well I had to reinstall Skyrim and lost them. I reinstalled them.

 

There is a recent update to Red. I tried to get the update but I received the ever loving 'operation could not be performed' message.

 

From There on all mods got the same message. I reinstalled again today because I finished some really huge mods and I was going for one last run through.

 

When I tried to add Red again, I immediately got the error and I once again can't download any more.

 

On the first failure, I thought I popped the cork with too many mods and corrupted segments due to combos and load order.

 

This second load failure is emperical evidence. I could do it a third time but with only Red but I think I have enough evidence. Red Sonja (cbbe) has divorced me. I'm going to let her be especially since JWD has some other winners.

 

Although... Nothing compares with my first downloads of Valeria and Red.

 

Hope that's useful JWD. I'm always looking for your latest stuff.

Howdy JWD and Nexus modders,

 

 

I have an update. The issue with downloading mods is worse and DOES NOT appear to be related to Red Sonja. I have had issues with bijin all in one, rdo, color patch remover and a few more.

 

Steps I took:

Reloaded Skyrim SE for XBox 1.

Started new game.

Downloaded Mods until received ' operation can not be completed.'

The game play saves eventually get corrupted and I have to reinstall Skyrim to resolve.

 

I omitted what may be the critical link. I never synchronized with Xbox gold.

 

Tonight, I will delete all mods, wipe all console AND gold saves.

Perform hard console reset.

Verify there are no save files anywhere.

Start new game with vanilla character.

Download 1 gig of favorite mods.

Play through first mission.

Save.

Verify save was successful.

Attempt additional mod downloads.

Play, save, verify save.

Complete mod favorites download. Total 3.5 gigs.

 

If it works, I caused the initial issue when I blew out my mods. The issue was perpetuated by Xbox gold saves.

 

 

If it doesn't work. I'll follow the same process and add a reinstall after I delete all mods and saves again. The cause may be tied to overwriting some of the skyrim application code, objects, etc.

 

I'll share what I find.

 

Justin,

 

If you see this, I apologize for any bad publicity. Your mods are fantastic!

Howdy,

 

Last night I followed the process I outlined.

 

Once all the Xbox gold cloud saves were deleted, I was able to download Red Sonja and the rest of the mods I had problems with.

 

My Theory on the cause is simple. The cloud was syncing up my console save information. The cloud syncd save information kept tabs on my mods. According to that information, I already had the mods and could not download them again. Each time I downloaded Skyrim for a reinstall, had no impact on the cloud saves. I simply wanted my time and bandwidth.

 

It's kind of a rookie mistake for someone as versed with end user errors as I am. :)

 

I've got to say this because my OCD nature won't allow me to leave it out. The issue was not caused by application component overlays by mods.

 

Reflecting on advice given in many other posts gives me a preventative manual procedure. Do a hard save after mod updates (add, delete or order modification) then quit the game and reboot the xbox1.

 

I'll keep adding mods until my favorites back in place. I'm at 2 gigs worth right now. If all continues to go as expected, I'll give a final report.
