ImAnIdiot

Thanks to everyone for their responses. I'm pretty sure I fixed it, check my edit

I'm an idiot. I've followed the guide to the letter, except for one thing: When you start adding the first mods, you are asked if you want to extract BSAs. You are supposed to click "Yes", and then "remember selection" so it extracts BSAs every time. I clicked "No" instead, and had it remember that selection. Now I've spent hours adding every mod up to Bathing In Skyrim, which is almost at the end. I think twice the guide said to delete files after installation, and those files were in BSAs. In those cases I went into the "Archive" tab and right clicked to manually extract the BSA to a random folder, then deleted the necessary files and then replaced the BSA with the loose files. So what do I do now? Can I just go through and manually extract every BSA, and then replace all those BSAs with the loose files, or do I have to reinstall every mod? If the former, which BSAs should I NOT extract? ******************** EDIT: Thanks to everyone for their responses. Here's what I did to fix it: I reset dialogues, then made sure BSAs were extracted (clicked yes and remember selection on the first reinstall). Then, I went through and double clicked every mod, and checked the filetree for BSAs. If it had a BSA, I right clicked it and reinstalled it. I also checked the guide to make sure I installed optionals and I followed any special installation instructions. Hopefully no one makes the same mistake as me. When I finish the guide, I'll update this post to say whether or not everything works well.
