Mod organizer mod options

[nil99]

I can never seem to get MO to display the various install options info for mods. When the mod loads it just displays the info of the 1st option and no matter what option is picked the 1st is all you can see as you install. Is there a setting I am missing?

Welcome to STEP @nil99

 

Your question is a little vague, could you perhaps give an example mod that you see this happen with? Maybe a screenshot? Also is this with MO 1.3.11 or MO2?

[nil99]

I apologize. It is kind of hard to explain. Say you want to install a mod with different options for textures. Usually when you select the different textures it shows you an image of what you are selecting, so you can decide which you prefer. When I select any of the options the image does not change from what the default option will show you. An example mod being maybe Amidian armor, or Smim. I can select options but I get no preview of what I am selecting. I am using MO 1.3.11. This feature works fine for me in MO2.

I just wanted to clarify it does not only pertain to textures but any mod that has various install options with previews.

Okay so you're saying fomod install screens do not update their images on the various options.

 

Go to the 'Settings - Plugins' and select the "Fomod Installer". The options in the right pane should be both 'true'.

 

PS. I've moved this to the MO General support forum as it doesn't really pertain to any specific STEP issue.

[nil99]

I appreciate the reply, sorry I thought I was in general support. Yeah, both of those are checked already.

Then I'm not sure why you are not seeing the image change.

 

What is different in your MO and MO2 setups? Paths, settings, etc.

The actual code that handles fomods has not changed appreciatively over the two versions so I'm at a loss as to why MO 1.3.11 doesn't work where MO2 does.

Odd thing, I was wondering if it is because I do not have NMM installed? Oh well it is not a big problem, just minor inconvenience. I appreciate your help.

[GrantSP]

NMM is not related to this issue.

Nothing different about the paths or directories. Even a clean fresh install of windows. Nothing but skyrim and MO. Well if anyone gets an insight I would love to hear about it.

This may be the issue.  A vanilla installation of Windows (you didn't specify the version) may not have the required .NET framework and/or XML parsers needed by the FOMOD installer.

 

I'd double-check that you have the latest .NET service pack installed, as well as the appropriate MS Visual C and XML parser packages installed.
