noob having mod issues...

Post » Thu Jun 19, 2014 5:49 am

as stated, I'm a noobie with skyrim mods.
With the forum help, I was able to install nexus and skse. Had trouble with the skse install but after a few youtube tutorials, it seems to be working now.

Which brings me to my questions...
So I have nexus manager and have dl'ed some mods using said manager. Using the skse launcher, most of the mods work, BUT some, makes the game crash after loading the opening logo of the game. So I disable mods that cause crashes and all seems good. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with these mods that cause crashes?

Also, just recently found out about steam workshop. So I also "subscribed" to some of these mods and they also seem to work well, for now. Question, does loading mods from steam workshop conflict with mods from nexus?

Like there are skyui both in nexus and workshop, I use the workshop one and so far it seems to work... so which one should I actually use?

More questions, I'm sure, later
Thanks

Hi tuna! The reason you are crashing after the logo is one mod is looking for another it needs and it can't find it so it turns the game off.

Imagine mod Z needs mods X and Y above it in order to load. Mod Z is dependent on X and Y.

So they need to be in this order:

X

Y

Z

But what's probably happening is this:

X

Z

Y

You can post your load order for help. Enable everything you want to use, try running the game, it will crash (this is just to make sure everything is in your order so we can look at it).

Now search C: Users/[name]/Appdata/Local/Skyrim (you may need to enable showing hidden folders under the view tab)

Open that text file and copy paste it here.

Btw, there are also programs that try to sort your mods for you like http://boss-developers.github.io/.

ah .. load order... I'm in my office right now so no skyrim but I will check on the "load order" and try to post it here... the issue of using workshop and nexus, is that a problem? And BOSS, I have yet to try that but does that try fix the load problem?

speaking of mods, I asked yesterday for a mod that identifies target if hostile or friendly. So someone suggested FOE which I got from workshop. I subscribed to it and I see it loading during startup but it doesn't seem to give any info during the game...
Any ideas?
Thanks
