the mods are all there in the recycle bin,however restoring them is useless as it does nothing. and i use McAfee,and no,i haven't actually checked that,i don't think it will come across as a harmful program but it never hurts to check,i'll try it now. nah,it hasn't been quarantined or viewed as harmful etc. at all. it usually has a pop-up message anyway if that's the case.

how could that be took the wrong way?no worries!and the thing is,exactly two days ago i would have been using this laptop for a year now. ..yikes. i think it's a matter of just getting used to skyrim or pc gaming in general. i've had this game since valentine's day this year,but i haven't really played it much. i guess i'll just experiment with things. i'm not too worried or fussed by this,idm starting again and again,i just think it would help if i learned along the way,and i have,because now i know that i shouldn't try messing with anything mod related,and let my organizer do everything. but,in the end,i'm not too worried,thanks for your help :)

idk how i'd change the directory if i can't find the original in the first place. it doesn't make the decisions by itself,you see. i delete it unintentionally i suppose,if that makes sense to you. i just can't run ANY programs or have anything installed that alters the Skyrim directory at all,like,at all. if it does then the consequence,is,MO being deleted. but,i can live with that. i have everything i need and i'm perfectly comfortable,but if crashing becomes a thing in the future,well,then there's a problem if i can't run TES5Edit. and,TES5Edit doesn't have the same issue,really. it deletes it's shortcut but doesn't delete itself,unlike MO,which does both. and yeah,it's odd that i just can't find the directory to where MO is installed. i've tried searching on 'My PC' (which is probably the largest search result thing you can get on your computer) and i just couldn't find an MO folder,it's odd. and i know i can damage my system,i'm not exactly smart when it comes to tech stuff,however i don't believe i have damaged my system. maybe a bit but that's exterior,i've dropped this laptop a few times but idk.

My Skyrim as far as I know is where it should be, Program File (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Skyrim. As for MO i..actually don't know. i've tried several times in the past actually to look for where it's installed but i've never found anything,i can only find the download in the downloads section. And hard drives are confusing i've never understood them,but through running dxdiag and looking at the 'Drivers' section,it says the main driver model is WDDM 1.3 if that helps. And no,i have no external hard drives. i run on Windows 8 and have full administrator rights. And yes,i do have NMM installed,however there are no files on there as i deleted them all before installing MO (i dont know if that was a stupid move or not but ayy lmao) and as for the whole ENB thing i have no problem with that now really,however i will tell you,MO has deleted itself three times since this post has been made. It works fine until you try and modify something,like just now it's deleted itself and everything along with it after i cleaned my Update.esm in TES5Edit. yesterday it deleted itself after i tried downgrading back to SKSE 1.6,and the day before that it deleted itself over something else. i'm really happy that at least i know what the problem is and how it's caused,but,i'll need to use TES5Edit in the future as i've experienced my first crash in months,obviously something's wrong and something needs to be cleaned,but,i suppose i can deal with a crash or two rarely happening over trying to solve it and having all of my mods disappear. if you think you can solve it then go ahead. Oh,and,if it helps,TES5 Edit does the same thing. deletes its' own shortcut,and i have to install it again. MO does the same thing however the data that it once held disappears completely. i might just go back to NMM,there isn't much difference between the two anyway.

hi. so,the title pretty much says it all. i was installing an ENB (RealLike ENB to be specific),and i think i did something wrong when moving and editing files in the Skyrim directory,because after i moved some files from a .ZIP file (it was a patch to stop blurry objects from appearing in the ENB),so i tried opening up MO after and i got a message saying something along the lines of 'This shortcut has been deleted,and therefore does not work.' and then that was the end of that. i still had it downloaded, but i had to re-install it,i said to myself surely the mods will be there,they stayed there with NMM,but to my surprise,they weren't there anymore. that was last night,so this morning (or afternoon) shortly after waking up,i try and re-install MO,for it to not have Skyrim recognized as a game,and i have to go into 'Browse..' to find it,which i do,but THEN MO says that the folder file cannot be specified or the folder lacks a game binary and launcher. I'm so confused rn.
