[dadouda]

Hello all, i downloadded a lot of mods that i found on skyrim nexus and any Mod is working, I extracted the files at the folder it need but it dont work, I tested more than 10 mods.

Can some one help me please? :(

You may need to add the line bEnableFileSelection=1 in your SkyrimPrefs.ini located in My document/MyGames/Skyrim

 

 

1. Find the SkyrimPrefs.ini (use windows find file if you have to) its usually under My document/MyGames/Skyrim

2. Open this file with notepad (or right click choose edit)

3. Look for the line:

 

[Launcher]

bShowAllResolutions=0 <-- change to 1 adding the 1 makes mods show in game properly

Then the Last lines should be like this? :

[Launcher]

bShowAllResolutions=1

bEnableFileSelection=1

Edit: Just tested like this only 1 mod (it change texture in witherun) are working now, I want to use mod that add companion but i dont found the companion in the place where he should be in

mine looks like this, but it could be a Windows 7 thing

 

 

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

bShowAllResolutions=1

uLastAspectRatio=0

 

Did you manually install or use NMM? Make sure it installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\data folder, all mods except skse [script extender] go inside the data folder, skse goes in the same folder as your games exe TESV

I Mannualy installed it, Download and extract on Data folder.

For NMM should i put the Folder that Contain NMM in The Data folder of skyrim if i want to use it?

[sinnerman69]

I don't use NMM, I download to my deskktop and use winrar to extract mods and if it's a BSA file I use Fallout Mod Manager to extract those mods into a folder on my desktop and I copy the mods to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\data folder

 

 

I like to keep a copy on my desktop in case I need to refer back to it to remove the mod manually

 

it's not shortcut copy's either, it's cut, copy and paste the folders and mods to my data folder

I do The same that you do but i dont understand what BSA and other words like that means xD I just put the extracted file on the Data folder and then i restart skyrim, idk why it dont want to work T_T

[sinnerman69]

BSA is the extension files name, it's a form of compression

 

All the brown icon files with the nuclear symbol on them are BSA extension files, see picture below

My data folder is looking like this it's normal or i need to change something?

[sinnerman69]

Never heard of a option folder, in less that's a windows Vista or Widows 8 thing

 

mine looks like this when not organized, the SKSE folder is the community uncapper
