Need Help!

[startrekstar101]

Hello, I just wanted to ask if anybody could give me information on my current problem. I downloaded two mods with the nexus mod manager today after successfully downloading the manager previously. I then activated each program and confirmed the check next to the the mod in the mod section. I then looked at the plugin section and saw them there also. I then started skyrim from the manager and checked to see if the mods could be checked there. They were not. I then proceeded to start playing the game but I was unable to craft the Captains shield and was unable to locate the vampire grip and vampiric drain spell but could not find them. I wonder what I could have done wrong or if the files go to the wrong place or something like that.

Is this your first time installing mods for skyrim?

 

mods should go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data folder

 

skse [script extender] goes outside the data folder beside the games exe and launcher

 

Also make sure to have added the line bEnableFileSelection=1 under [Launcher] in your skyrimprefs located in mydocuments/mygame/skyrim/skyrimprefs

 

it should look like this

 

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

 

 

bEnableFileSelection=1 makes mods appear in your game properly by default it's set to 0 and it need's to be changed to 1

 

also where they mods checked in the default launcher, like mine pictured below
