Long Overdue Update

[User13]

Hey folks.  So, I haven't played Skyrim in a long time and I wanted to get back into it, but something is majorly corrupt.  Unfortunately, I can't update anything from Nexus because my MO is so out of date.  I'm currently using version 1.1.1.  I've downloaded v1.3.11, but I'm not sure how to update it, if I can.  1.1.1 is saying it's up to date, which it obviously isn't.  I don't want to lose all the mods I already have loaded and further corrupt my old saves.  Any suggestions?

The wiki has an extensive description on the steps needed.

Followed the instructions provided.  Now when I attempt to open MO it says ModOrganizer.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Are you on XP?

[User13]

Nope, on 7.

Grab the latest archive version from Nexus and install it somewhere away from any UAC folders such as Program Files and run the main exe. Take note of the prerequisites listed here.

 

If you get the same errors please post any logs generated and screenshots of the messages Windows provides.

 

If it does work without error just copy in your existing mods, downloads and profiles folders, or create new ones if you wish, and be sure to change any settings in the INI to reflect the new paths.

Ok, discovered that part of the problem.  I hadn't noticed it was 7z and wasn't using the right program to extract.  So, MO is working.  My guys in the game are still floating around with their arms out to their sides tho, so I'm guessing I have mods which need updating.  I right clicked and went to search for updates and now I have like 20 of them in a red box with the update filter showing below, but it says 'user is not premium'.  Does that mean I can't just automatically update them?  I'll have to do them individually?  How would I go about updating everything?

That sounds a lot like you need to re-run FNIS... T-Pose is almost a classic indicator of it. Even so, you are likely correct that you need to update most everything.

I'm not sure I have FNIS.  Also, do I need to update each mod individually?

[Nebulous112]

Yes. To find the Nexus page, you can right-click in MO and there should be an option to visit the Nexus page of the mod.

I updated all the mods I have which still exist on Nexus.  I reinstalled FNIS.  Still getting arms out, floaty guys.

Did you run FNIS in MO to get generator output? See the OP here: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/8524-q-a-using-fnis-with-mod-organizer/
