I am trying to mod and the problem is when I try to enable the Data on the launcher, It will not allow me to save! It keeps sending me to save it but when I do save it, It saves as a text and does not overwrite my current skyrimprefs! Please help!

You need to select "All Files" in the drop down box in the save dialog, making sure the extension is correct.

What do you mean by extension? Thanks for replying btw

".ini"

So Do I add .ini to the name of the file name or do I select it from encoding?

This is what you save the file as with the "All Files" selector chosen: "SkyrimPrefs.ini".

I did what you said and got this

"Skyrimprefs.ini already exists,

Would you like to replace it?"

When I click yes it says "Skyrimprefs

this file is read only.Try again with a different file name"

Right-click on the file in your file browser and click properties and uncheck the "Read-Only" option.

Thank you so much! I have been trying forever to get it working! Thank you so much and thanks again for the quick replies! <3

Have you disabled UAC ???? (and ckeck the attributes of your Skyrimprefs.ini - and unckeck read-only)

Be wary though there are 2 Skyrimprefs.ini files and they are different, one is in the installation folder/Skyrim and the other is in My documents/my games/skyrim

You have to change it in the My documents folder

make sure you're editting the SkryimPrefs.ini in your User\[Account name]\Documents\My Games\Skrim folder.

------------------------------------------------------------

Add [Launcher] bEnableFileSelection=1 at the TOP of the SkyrimPref.ini

Look for the line:

[Launcher]
bShowAllResolutions=0
uLastAspectRatio=2

And add it like this:

[Launcher]
bShowAllResolutions=0
uLastAspectRatio=2
bEnableFileSelection=1

------------------------------------------------

Go to "...Documents\My Games\Skyrim\"

- Right click "SkyrimPrefs.ini" and open properties

- Make sure that "read only" is ticked off

- Open "Start menu" and in the search field type "notepad" (Do not click anything yet)

- Right click notepad shortcut and click "Run as admin"

- With now opened norepad, open "Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini"

- Search for [Launcher] section and make sure this is on it bEnableFileSelection=1

SAVE WITH .INI EXTENSION !!!!!!
