chocklymon Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 It sounds like one of two problems.First that NMM is pointing to the wrong folder and installed your mods to the wrong location. Check this by clicking the gears icon to open the settings window, change to the skyrim tab and make sure that the skyrim directory is pointing to the folder where TESV.exe is located.Or the mods are structured in such a way that NMM installed them incorrectly (odds of this happening for all eight mods though seems pretty low).

chocklymon Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sorry that didn't work for you. I don't know anything else to look at. You could always try installing them manually, it is pretty easy to do but makes it hard to uninstall them.If the mods are only texture/mesh replaces they often won't have a .esp file to active which may be why you are not seeing them?

As for getting help I would recommend posting on the thread for the mod or private messaging the author since he would be in a better position to help. Also, even if you have already done it read the readme and/or description for the mod, you might notice something that you missed doing that the mod requires.
