LordEtranor Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 its been a few years since i last modded skyrim so ive been trying to reacquaint myself with the process so please bear with me if i ask any stupid questions. But i just had to manually choose the folder SkyrimSE.exe was located in and while i was doing so it also asked me to choose what folder i wanted to download or install or stage the mods in. i tried to use the "Mods" folder that was in the skyrim special edition folder but it said i couldnt use a folder directly managed by the game or something. so i ended up choosing the "data" folder and it let me. this doesnt seem right to me and im wondering if i need to make a new folder somewhere for this. I haven't installed any of the mods ive downloaded yet just in case ive horribly messed this up. if i could get some advice to make sure i haven't done anything wrong or if i have, what i need to do to fix it.

HadToRegister Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The Mod Staging folder needs to be on the same drive as the game is installed on.Put it in a directory with a short path, such as D:\Mods (Whatever drive letter your Skyrim game is on) or something like that, Do NOT put it inside the Steam Directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
