When I check the MO ini, it has the correct game and path listed. I do truly appreciate it.)ĮDIT: I did refer to this post too. Thank you for your help and your patience. (I'm all over the map with this modding process, I'm sorry.
I'd just like to know if I broke something and if I can fix it first. Just download manually and throw it in your MO2 Downloads folder." I can do that, for sure. Another post elsewhere said, essentially, "Yeah, man, this happens. I did this but I admit that I don't know what I'm doing or supposed to do. Preliminary Google searches suggested running the nxmhandler.exe that came with MO2. Unbeknownst to me, however, it appears as though MO2 created a separate folder in AppData/Local. What I ended up doing was unpacking all of the MO2 files/folders from the archive into the folder I created in the SSE directory, thinking maybe I knew what was best. One thing I'm sure of is that it DID give me a prompt asking whether or not I would like to use NXM links, and I'm pretty sure (about 90%) that I hit yes.
At the time, I was following a guide but it must have been outdated because the instructions didn't match up with my own experience.
#Nexus how to manually download mods install
It seemed to differ a little bit from MO in that it did not install to the folder I made for it in my SSE directory, nor did it ask where I wanted it to go. I believe this is user error and not necessarily a failure to function properly on MO2's part. It appears as though MO2 will not download mods from the Nexus via "Mod Manager Download" button.
