There's an existing topic that covers most of your concerns about MO's order message and although the mods may differ the important aspects of that discussion are the same. I might also suggest a thorough read of the wiki and a good skim through the 'pinned' topics in the MO forum.

After "burning in" my new rig for a while and setting everything up just right over the last little while, I've just installed Witcher 3 and started modding the game. OMG, the detail of the game and the quality of gameplay. Amazing. Still not sure about all your choices of mods, I'll see how I go with most of them, but so far so good.

As far as I can tell from users that saw that same error message it doesn't actually break anything. I too had that message but as far as I can see nothing is wrong.

Am I correct in assuming the 'Alternative look for Triss' is an addition with the new patch? Since you make no mention to disable that along with those for "Yennefer & Ciri". I'm going to disable that also.

I've now been using Win 10 on my laptop for a while and recently installed an OEM version on my desktop. This is what I did to tame Windows 10.

Having done so you should have a minimal installation of Win 10 'straight out of the box', however after logging in you can prune some more dross from the system by running Powershell as an administrator and entering these commands to remove some apps that MS wants you to have. The format of the commands is a "Get-AppxPackage" which searches the installed database for matching entries that contain the next string: *{app name}* where the * are any characters and the {app name} contains the string specific to the app(s) you are after. Then a pipe | is used to send that selection to a "Remove-AppxPackage" which does the actual removal. Warning! The following commands are using a very powerful system tool and if you are not sure of what they do, please do not proceed.

The only issue that still plagues me is Edge. I would really like to remove it but so far have not found a way to do so. Recently the so-called Creator patch is said to have broken the VFS, disabling the Game Bar has also apparently "fixed" this. (All of this is untested by myself as I have not seen it 1st person.)

For the sake of ease the manual registry edit that Windows Home users need to use will be provided. Run the Registry Editor by Win+R "regedit" Navigate to the following key in the left sidebar: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search If that doesn't exist, create a new entry under the \Windows\ parent using the context menu. (ie. right-click on Windows and select New>Key and name "Windows Search".) Invoke the context-menu on this (new) folder and select New> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it "AllowCortana" and set the value to: "0".

TBH, I don't know. All I know is when I entered the worldspace with them beside me, everyone just started shooting at me!

Works perfectly well for me in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. I can't see why ANY browser wouldn't allow it

Change it to enable "ventriloquism mode".

You may like to refresh yourself with what to expect from categories when using MO. Note the section on this as found in the wiki. Take special note of the first few lines in the box 'Managing Categories' which says:

Somehow you have changed the default action Firefox takes when it encounters new filetypes. Try this method to remove ALL current associated filetypes you have set with Firefox and see whether you are presented with the 'Launch Application' dialogue shown above. Find the file "mimetypes.rdf" which should be in this folder: "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\13jzgkpd.default\mimeTypes.rdf" The characters in Yellow may be different on your system. Delete it and re-start Firefox.

Welcome to STEP. Do you have a custom 'categories.dat' in the MO installation folder? Also since you are on Windows 7 you really should consider using MO 1.3.11 or later.

No. However, and I hope this doesn't spoil it for you, when you enter the new worldspace if you have companions with you, EVERYONE you meet is hostile towards you and you therefore can't complete questlines offered by some of these individuals. Considering everyone was a ghoul that I encountered initially, I just thought everyone was SUPPOSED to be hostile. I posted on the Nexus page how there should be a simple reminder somewhere in the description about dismissing everyone first. No response of course, considering the age of the mod. So I can't comment on the actual storyline or the mod past the initial load area as I couldn't proceed. It might be brilliant!

If you decide to keep 'Beyond Boulder Dome' just remember to dismiss ALL companions before entering the area. Failure to do so will render the entire questlines unplayable. I fact I found only after completely ruining that save.

xEdit == TES5Edit == FO3Edit == FNVEdit == TES4Edit All the same programme, just renamed to use for different games. You are using an English version of Win7 64bit so I can't immediately see where the difference lies in your system to mine. However there does look to be an issue with way the OS is handling those files. I just checked the plugin and it is explicitly calling those files named as I have them in my last comment. If you have renamed them you will need to reverse those changes. You might also like to ask the author why they named them such. I see no reason to do so as there isn't any possible conflict issues with similarly named files.

I examined my installation and the files logged in post as having a '?' in them are actually named using an extended ASCII character and that may be bugging out on your system. That GoldBarrel nif is called in my install: GoldBarrel01°.nif. There are in fact all these files named similarly: GoldPot02°.nifGoldPot01°.nifGoldBarrelDwe°.nifGoldBarrel02°.nifGoldBarrel01°.nifTrRavenGold°.nifTrStars°.nif Now since I only downloaded the one file and not the Main file with the plugin, I can't say if those files are called correctly in it or this is an error of naming. You might like to examine the plugin with xEdit to see if they are correct. Since the actual file operations to copy those files will be using system calls, can you provide us with details about your system?Are you using an English version of Windows? Which one, Win 7, 8.1, 10? Anything else you think might be pertinent.

This may sound like an obvious question but have you actually browsed to Nexus and tried to download a mod using the 'Download with Manager' button? It sounds like you haven't! None of the steps being described here are specific to Mod Organizer. The 'nxm' file protocol is something the Nexus sites have developed and the way Firefox, or any browser handles them, is specific to each browser. The only connection to MO is that when your browser handles these 'nxm' files correctly, MO is called to do the download, not your browser.

So that doesn't change the distance from the camera that trees sway?

Welcome to STEP. There are a few things you should consider. Since it is a large download it is possible the actual file was corrupted and will need to be re-downloaded The file operations may appear to stall and possibly fail if the drive it is taking place on is slow and/or close to full. The progress is done in stages with portions of the file transfer being moved from the temp folder used to unpack the archive and the final installation folder as available RAM is used. Anti-virus, firewall or other OS level software can interfere with file operations and may need special attentionI have just now grabbed the 'Essentials' file and installed it on my laptop setup, which uses a single HDD, and the progress appeared to stall for a few seconds before continuing, but it did complete the install with no error messages. So there is no inherent bug with MO and this specific mod and it comes down to an OS level situation.

I'm glad that you fixed it but I'm dubious of the reason for the change. There is no solid reason why a simple directory change would account for this behaviour. One thing that I have just now noticed about your setup, you had your MO installed onto an 'I:' drive. Where was this drive and how is it connected to your system? Is it a NAS or some other network attached device?

I have only played through that quest just once and I didn't see this issue. My modlist at that stage was stock F&L as it was at that time, about 6 months ago, with no extras.

What exactly fails for you? This mod installs just fine on my system. Just to clarify, it will make no difference what settings you have in the 'Settings -- Plugins' tab for 'FOMOD Installer'. This is a C# style fomod and it will ALWAYS use the "Fomod Installer (external)".

MO FAQ. 3rd last question.

This is no longer a FNIS question so can you please start a new topic. In that topic I want you to paste an archive of your MO logs folder. To make them as small as possible delete everything in them first and then try to load a profile into Skyrim or FreeCommander. This will generate only the entries for that session. This is not a known issue, in fact I know of no other user that has this happen to them. Just to clarify there isn't really a virtual-file-system as such, it's more like a trick of folder locations sent to the programs called from MO.

I assume you are referring to the double entries? Yes I had that and couldn't be bothered checking why, you only see it on character creation so no issue?
