LOOT Not Showing Mods Through Mod Organizer

[ArchmageJzargo 0]

Hi, I am trying to use LOOT through Mod Organizer, however whenever it launches, it only displays the main vanilla SSE files, not any mod plugin files.

I am using 2 mod plugins just to test currently and LOOT is unable to detect them.

When I startup Mod Organizer, it asks me every time whether or not I want to use portable folder or create a new instance, I  prefer using the MO folder, but it shows this every time. I don't know if this is part of the problem or not.

Now if I manually install the mod and copy the files from the raw downloaded zipped files into the Skyrim Data folder, and then run LOOT independently of MO, it shows the plugins just fine.

I'm using Mod Organizer version 2.0.8.3b and LOOT 0.11.0

I put some screenshots if they are any help.

Please and thanks.

Any help please?

I still can't find any way to fix this issue :(

This is a more in-depth discussion on this matter.

 

The most likely culprit is the 'Gamebar' in the latest update of Win10, scroll to the last few posts and follow the steps there or go to the "Tricky software" link in my signature.

In any case. in the future, please post your logs so we can diagnose those, they are designed for that purpose and are much better than screenshots.

Add the argument to the LOOT entry in the INI:

"--game=Skyrim Special Edition"

[ArchmageJzargo 0]

Ugh...it's still not working, I tried putting that into both the .ini file and in the Mod Organizer Modify Executables Arguments line.

It opens up the LOOT window and it's totally blank, and then opens up an internet browser page which is also blank >.>

 

I tried using the other argument from that other thread you posted with the double quotes, that also changes nothing and LOOT still doesn't show the mod plugins.

The built in LOOT using the Sort button kind of works, but I don't know if that thing knows the proper load order for the mods as the actual LOOT does.

I don't know what to do :(

Edited August 24, 2017 by ArchmageJzargo

[GSDFan 3]

Just to be clear it should look like this:

--game="Skyrim Special Edition"

[GrantSP 87]

If you are still getting the blank screen try adding this to the arguments:

--single-process

Also the "" can be like either @GSDFan or I described it, the important thing to remember is that you need them after the argument processor: -- this is so the spaces are viewed as part of the argument, not a terminator.

 

Thus "game=Skyrim Special Edition" is identical to game="Skyrim Special Edition"

[ArchmageJzargo 0]

I tried putting "" after the --, however somehow the .ini keeps self changing it's self to put the quotes around the entire thing, before the --

I'd rather not have to go to Windows 10 just to fix this >.>

Edited August 25, 2017 by ArchmageJzargo

[GrantSP 87]

If you're looking at the INI it will appear as this:

arguments="--game=\"Skyrim Special Edition\""

However as I said the blank screen issue is resolved by others by placing the:

--single-process

argument in the settings.

[ArchmageJzargo 0]

Am I supposed to have, arguments="--game=\"Skyrim Special Edition\"", in the INI?

And then, --single-process, through the modify executables options?

Because if I change one, then the other also changes with it, I can't the INI only use the first argument and the settings use the second >.>

[GrantSP 87]

Just edit it in the 'Settings' dialogue, much easier to do. If you must edit the INI this is what you will have:

4\binary=D:/Games/Utils/LOOT/LOOT.exe
4\arguments="--game=\"Skyrim Special Edition\" --single-process"

Of course the paths will be different, but you get the idea.

 

The entire argument is encapsulated in quotes, but this is an internal MO setting to tell it to read these things "as is". The actual text string "Skyrim Special Edition" needs the slashes before each quote so that the "" are read as part the string, otherwise the spaces will break it.

[ArchmageJzargo 0]

Ahh.. Nothing is working :(
I don't know what the heck is wrong with this thing. Old Skyrim used to work just fine with this thing, and even SSE when it came out.

I try literally everything I can and the mods just don't show :(

[GrantSP 87]

In the log you posted above there is an entry saying it is also creating the: usvfs-2017-08-19_16-37-34.log.

Please delete ALL logs and then post the contents of ALL the new ones created. There should be at least 2.

The other one usvfs-2017-08-26_22-13-08 is just completely blank, nothing in there.

[GrantSP 87]

So are you now saying LOOT doesn't even load? Even if it does start and shows the incorrect plugin list there should be a log to show this.

Are you sure you have no other software running that is interfering with MO's functionality, as per my link referred to earlier?

 

If there are none please try this. Uninstall both MO and LOOT and install away from your Steam library. Just place them in their own folders off the root directory, or off the "Games" folder. e.g. C:\Games\MO, C:\Games\LOOT
