Also you should be installing it through MO so that the mods will be found on the right hand side under downloads And Mods in Mod organizer will never be in data folder!

Hi guys I'm new here so hopefully this is the right place to post this. After doing that and relaunching I get the error I mentioned above. Do you guys know what I could have done wrong? I'm really new to messing with mods so it's probably something I did wrong I've made sure all plugins are enabled and all mods are installed with their masters except for the ones below because I can't find the appropriate mod that goes with it so maybe that could also be the issue.

I'm pretty sure I have "Blues Skyrim" but the creator renamed it so that's why MO2 is detecting it as missing. Idk if that's the case with the other ones though. Thank you. MO2 - xEdit Issue. Hi there peoples, First time posting, so if this isn't allowed please just let me know. Looking for a bit of support, as been scratching my head for ages now and getting nowhere. When an update is available for Mod Organizer MOthe update button becomes colored. Simply click the button, and follow any prompts to update.

The update button can be found at the top right of the toolbar, or in the menu under Help. If a clean install is preferred, while retaining all mod settings, users can do the following to update:. With portable installation, the user must install a copy of MO for each individual game they want to manage.

Some users prefer this method over instances, since this is how MO has historically worked. There are no known issues with this installation method, and the only drawback is that the user must install multiple copies of MO in order to manage different games and different mod lists within the same game read on. While normal MO Profiles allow independent management of game configuration INI files, enabled mods, enabled plugins, mod prioritization, etc.

This is a significant limitation when one attempts to manage two completely different mod builds for the same game. This essentially combines mods from each build into a single mod list, adding a lot of 'noise' in the form of mods that will never be enabled.

Instances allow everything to be partitioned and independent, which mimics the 'portable' installation methodology without the multiple and redundant MO installations. Clicking on the button allows switching instances. Mod Organizer MO can be installed in two modes: portable or instanced. Step highly recommends 'instanced' installation see the sidebox. General setup instructions for both methods are as follows:.

There are a number of random settings located throughout the application that a user may find useful to setup or change to best suit their tastes or needs. This section is intended to provide some of the more basic tips that users may find desirable. A beginner will see all the new buttons and quickly forget which each one does.

Adding text below the toolbars describing what the icons actually do alleviates this, and can be enabled by doing the following:. If you are customizing your game with mods, you probably would like to customize the appearance of your mod manager too. MO takes copy of the game INI files upon first launch.

Mod Organizer allows you to backup your profile's modlist in the Left Pane and restore it if the need arises. To backup your profile's modlist , click the Create Backup button to the right of the profile drop-down menu.

You can, however, backup your profile's plugin list in the Plugins tab in the Right Pane. To restore a previous modlist , click the Restore Backup Upon restoring a backup, any mods not active at time of backup will be unchecked, and all priority changes since the backup will be reverted. Also, any new mods since the backup will be unticked and in alphabetical order at the bottom of your modlist. Mods may be downloaded via Mod Organizer MO by clicking the Download with Manager buttons on the Nexus mod sites once set up to do so see step 5 in the Initial Setup section under the Installation tab.

Mods can also be downloaded manually and subsequently installed to MO using the Archive button in the toolbar. MO collects meta information after the download has completed, including the mod's name, version, and Nexus ID. When a downloaded mod is installed, the meta information determines the name that MO suggests for the mod.

Once installed, the Nexus ID and version number is imprinted on the installed mod's information. If meta information has not been collected for a downloaded mod, a warning icon will appear in front of the mod in the Downloads tab.

To attempt to retrieve the information:. In many cases the meta information collection will fail despite following these steps.

This is caused by one of the three following problems:. Using any text editor, like Notepad , simply fill in the details as you would with any other ini file. This information has no bearing on the functionality of Mod Organizer, other than telling it where the mod came from.

Check the Settings section for more details. Possible solutions: There are many reasons why this may happen. Please try these possible fixes:. Problem: Attempting to install a downloaded mod file produces a "None of the available installer plugins were able to handle that archive. Probable Cause 1: The downloaded file is corrupt. General Solution 1: Re-download the file. General Solution 2: Unfortunately there is a problem with the 7Zip library supplied by 7Zip and it refuses to manage that compression method.

The only recourse is to manually unpack the archive, the 7Zip Manager does handle this archive properly, and repack it using another compression method. This association, unfortunately, is all encompassing and steals the association from Nexus Mod Manager. If you are using Nexus Mod Manager to manage other games that MO does not support you cannot use the download with manager button as it is associated with MO.

The solution to this problem is provided in the ModOrganizer folder in the form of a program called nxmhandler. This little program will allow you to associate another application to handle nxm links alongside MO. To set up an association to another game and another MO do the following:.

The Mod Exists dialog box appears whenever you try to install a mod with the same name as an existing mod. This normally occurs when installing optional files for mods or updating a mod.

The Merge button typically should be chosen when installing optional files that are add-ons to the mod. This simply adds the files to the existing mod, overwriting any existing files. The Replace button generally should be chosen when upgrading a mod to a new version containing all required assets. This deletes all files in the mod and installs the new files in its place.

The Rename button allows you to install the mod under a different name , allowing you to keep the file contents separate from the main mod, or enabling you to install different versions of the same mod.

The Cancel button stops installation. Ticking the Keep Backup checkmark in combination with either the Merge or Replace options will create a backup of the mod before installing the file.

To restore the backup:. When you open most archives, the Name box will show you the name of the mod as parsed from the meta info collected when it was downloaded. If no meta info was collected, it will display the filename of the archive minus the appended Nexus ID and version number.

You can rename the mod to anything you desire or keep the name. To speed up the naming process, you can click the down arrow which will present a drop-down box with suggestions of other names based on other mods you've installed sharing the same Nexus ID, the name of the mod archive itself, the name of the mod archive with the Nexus ID and version number attached, and the actual name of the mod from the Nexus. Mod archives are packaged in three different ways that MO currently supports:.

If the archive is not packaged in any of the first three ways, it will open the manual installation dialog. Please note:. Any mod can be installed manually; it just takes a lot of work. You must read the mod's installation instructions to determine what files you need to put where. Most of the time, however, manual installation within MO's manual installation dialog is quite simple.

When the manual installation dialog comes up, the first thing you should notice is the red text in the bottom left corner that says No game data at top level. The first time this happens, a little tutorial should appear and guide you through the manual installation workflow.

Once the message at the bottom corner turns to a green Looks good , pressing OK will install the mod. Most of the time when the manual installation dialog comes up, you'll see a data folder and a readme. In these cases, most of the time you can simply right-click the data folder, select Set data directory and install. If you set the wrong directory, simply right-click and select the Unset data directory option. Some archives may be more complex, and you may have to move files around into a common data directory to correctly install.

Read the installation section and readmes to find out what goes where. You can open an included readme by right-clicking and selecting Open. You can create new folders within the manual installation dialog by right-clicking the directory level you want to place the folder and selecting Create directory. Some mods may require many directories to be created to place the file in the correct path.

If you mess up, you can always modify it in the installed mod's Filetree tab. You can move files around within the manual installation dialog by dragging and dropping them within the appropriate directory.

The simple archive is naturally the easiest to install and thankfully is the most common. It presents you with a Quick Install window with only three options. The Manual button will open up the manual installation dialog. The OK button will install the mod. The Cancel button will cancel installation and close the dialog. Check the options that you need referring to the installation instructions on the mod's page or an included readme and click OK to install.

The Package. It will be greyed out if one does not exist. C fomods will launch the external installer plugin , which will initially extract the files while presenting you with a window stating that it is running the external installer, and then finally present you with the installation dialog.

Simply follow the wizard's instructions to install the mod. Most of the time, you can simply follow the wizard instructions and everything will install correctly. However, sometimes one of the installation plugin may install the mod incorrectly, and then you may have to resort to an alternate installation method. It is recommended to re-enable the internal plugin to restore default behavior after successful installation of the problematic mod.

This may be done by setting the prefer value back to true. For the Fallout games, install FOMM to the game directory in order for Mod Organizer to automatically add it to its list of executables. It may also be added manually by following the instructions in the Third Party Programs chapter. Any mod that needs to recognize already existing mods can only do so when the VFS is active.

As this is not the case when MO installs mods you will need to use the above method to install it correctly. Doing so will construct the VFS with all the currently active mods installed in their correct place. The newly installed mod will 'see' these mods and make the correct choices. Most notably these mods include HUD style mods that modify the menu files based on what is installed.

Despite lack of integration, Steam Workshop mods are not difficult to install into Mod Organizer. To update a mod from Steam Workshop in Mod Organizer, you must repeat the process again, removing the old version. To check mods for updates, right-click within the Left Pane and select Check all for update.

The success or failure of detecting all updates is dependent upon correct meta info for your mods i. Also, some mod authors use strange version systems that Mod Organizer may not detect. For this reason, it is wise to Track all your installed mods on the Nexus so you can refer to the tracking center for mod updates. To update a mod, download the new archive and install it to the same mod it was installed last time, replacing if it is a full replacement of the mod or merging if it only updates certain files within the mod.

I have mine on the same drive as my game although that is not required. Last edited by Chef ; 21 Feb, am.

I believe op is using the manual portable method that is suppose to go directly into the game's directory. That was the case for MO1. Any install of MO2 should be outside the game directory and in the shortest path possible I have seen them say exactly this regarding MO2 on their discord.

Edit: I just double checked with them and the above is correct. Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 21 Feb, am.
