Haxina Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Complete newbie here, just installed MO2 and want to use mods for Skyrim SE. What folder do I download mods to, in order for the MO2 program to recognize them as being there? I downloaded and extracted the first mod to the folder that the MO created for Skyrim SE mods, but the program doesn't see it there. What am I doing wrong?

DoctorKaizeld Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Don't extract the mod. Pretty sure MO needs it to be a zip filebut I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haxina Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) At first I didn't, just left it as a .rar file, but MO didn't see it. Edited May 18, 2019 by Haxina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Download your mods to the MO download foldermod managers use the Mod Archive (.zip, .rar, .7z etc), so don't extract them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haxina Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 OK, I'll see how that works out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haxina Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 This is where the downloaded mod files are: AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\SkyrimSE\mods But when I open the MO program, nothing shows up in the "downloads" tab. I refreshed, still nothing. Am I supposed to see the files there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haxina Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hmmm... I clicked on the Vortex button to download another mod, and it downloaded it to the proper place where I can see it in MO. I guess problem solved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
