I think it's fixed? But I don't know how. So, I had deleted MO2. Just got rid of it. Downloaded a new archive copy, launched it, and it remembered settings which I don't understand. I must have just missed a file somewhere. Where I think this may or may not cause problems is in this step in the Prerequisites section: Create a new folder called Mod Organizer 2 - Lexys LOTD SE (or something you would Recognize easily) in the Root of a Drive (so you have some like E:\Mod Organizer 2 - Lexys LOTD SE). Extract the contents of the downloaded Zip file to the folder created in Step 1 Run ModOrganizer.exe A popup box should appear, asking you to "choose an Instance" pick Portable A 2nd popup should appear; from the drop-down menu pick Skyrim Special Edition A 3rd popup should appear asking if you want to see the tutorial. Those who are new to Mod Organizer 2 should select Yes. Those who are very familiar with it should Select No. A 4th popup should appear stating that 'Mod Organizer is not set up to handle nxm links. Associate it with nxm links?' The recommended response is Yes, as this will allow Mod Organizer 2 to handle Nexus file links. I tried to create the MO2 directory in the root of my C: drive, but after I created it, I had to close it and it wouldn't launch again. I rebooted and it seems to be fine? But I don't know that it will continue to be. I'm reasonably comfortable with MO2, but this was just odd. This is also the first time I've installed MO2 outside of my Steam directory, so it's likely me not understanding the functionality.
