Can't get mods to work

[Thomas9666]

I have tried to put the mods into Skyrim for a few hours now and have had no luck... I even changed the install location to see if it was a system writing error.

Any help?

Be a bit more specific. Were you able to do it before? Here's a few pointers.

 

Make sure you meet all of the requirements of a particular mod.

Meshes, Textures, and .esp files need to be in the "Data" folder located in the Skyrim root directory

Make sure you have activated the .esp files via the Skyrim launcher or a third party mod management program.

Make sure your game is updated to the latest version, unless the mod you want doesn't support that version.

 

Try using the Nexus Mod Manager, it's very easy.

If you use any of this and have some success - or even if nothing works - please post back here what you did that worked or didn't work. That kind of information can be invaluable to other members having the same or similar problems - And to me in fixing any problems in the blog.

Sorry about the lack of details.

I bought Skyrim for the Xbox pretty much when it came out, then everyone started modding it :( So I recently downloaded the torrent for Skyrim and Dawnguard... I don't see the point in paying for it twice...

So I take it this has an effect of the Nexus mod manager? (Yes I do use it)

So yes bb46 I do have a pirate copy but I do have a paid copy, I just didn't see the point in paying twice for the same thing.

 

You pay for something twice because buying something on one system does not entitle you to it on another.

I truly feel sympathy for you buddy (I bought it for Xbox, then I sold it and bought it back for PC), but you should have thought your purchase through. Or you could have just done what I did and lost about $10 in the process of selling it and then buying it again. :confused: Just look at Oblivion and the amazing stuff that came out of it, clearly PC is the way to go. Sure Xbox feels really homey and you can play it on a huge TV (not that you can't do that with a PC), but your limited in the content that you can have to what Bethesda releases for DLC.

 

Anyway, doubtful as it is that you'll ever see this after being banned and all, I have an answer.

 

I don't think that the pirated version of this game would include the latest update (like Steam automagically does), and the update is necessary for most of the mods nowadays. So, you need to update the game. :thumbsup:
