redhairjoe Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 So I haven't played skyrim in a while and wanted to jump back in and get some new mods. I've had and used the Nexus Mod Manager in the past with very minimal issue. Now earlier this week I learned about how Nexus mod manager was replaced with vortex and I couldn't even download new mods. So I got Vortex, easy to load up and at first glance looked good. And then it all fell apart.... No Mod menu in game, tried to fix it and then several mods stopped working out right and it ended up with the Main Menu at start of the game not even functioning, can't make a new game or continue. Nothing. When I go through the mod manager I can't tell if something is off and keeps telling me that I have files open in other applications...which no other applications are open other then the mod manager. Can't tell if the issue is the plug ins or the mod itself. There's just so little information from Vortex and none of the videos are helpful because I can't tell what the issue even is... At my wits end and sick of Vortex and its only been a week. I don't even know what questions to ask in order to get help resolving the issue because there's so little information explained via vortex. Can someone offer some guidance on how to get my game back to normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrworthy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 When you open Vortex, are there any red bolts next to any mods? Are your plugins enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhairjoe Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 So some of the plug ins are not enabled because it kept saying there were redundancies, As for red bolts in the mods there are red points mentioning updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawrworthy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Right click on the mods that say they have updates and go to their nexus page. It's possible you downloaded an older version that's causing problems with your game, that might solve part of your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhairjoe Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 So it keeps saying FNIS is not installed but I just installed it and this message comes up saying vortex needs access to another file but its open in another application, but the only things open are the browser and the manager? is this a problem?

Rawrworthy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Make sure you enable the mod, or the other mods won't pick it up. For that, I would try closing Vortex and re-opening it and see if the problem persists. If it does, right click on your task bar at the bottom of your screen and open task manager and make sure there aren't any background things open.

redhairjoe Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 So there's progress...The opening menu comes up normally not and I can continue a game but I figured its safer to start a new game. I get a bunch of pop ups telling me the script extender isnt up to date or something. Got the SKSE from steam and the pop ups still appear and when I start the new game nothing happens and its just the black screen, mist and music plays but the game does not engage.

redhairjoe Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 so some more progress, I got skse to work. Its definitely running and i can play a previous save but when i got to start a new game there is still no change, just the black screen, rising mist and the music.
