Absolute desperation...

[Callinator]

Hello,

i'm from Germany so excuse my English. I found your STEP in the Internet and i loved it. I started immediatly and downloaded the mod organizer and the first 40 mods in the right order. Now 2 days later and many many failures later i'm at the end of my tether.

So here is my Problem:

After installing the mods with MO  the BOSS tool did not recognize any of my Plug- ins installed and i had the feeling that not all mods were working. So i uninstalled all mods and i tried to reinstalled them by using the RAR archives, but now the MO can'T install them. 

So i have to say that the STEP guide is unfortunatly to difficult for me or rather not detailed enough (sorry!). So my question is :  Is there any version of the Step guide, that is easier to understand for noobs like me and really is step by step ?

 

Greetings,

Carl

so i should rename all files when they want to merge??

No, it's a mod by mod type of thing. I was just explaining that you have options. If you are updating a mod to the newest version then replace it. If you want to combine a couple of the archives into one folder in your MO directory then merge them. Since BoS is so big though it can get updates to one of the files like armor but not weapons and uniques, so you can just type in any name you want when installing the mods and that way MO will not try to merge or replace anything.

ah okay . when i install a "Dawnguard patch" for one mod i should merge it? 

and where do i get the information if i should merge or rename iT?

So when you first install a mod you have to double click it or right click-> install, then it brings up a little dialog box with the name of the mod, and that is where you can change the name of the mod. The reason that MO asks if you want to replace or merge a mod in the first place, is that it is going to use the same name as something you already have installed.

 

For mods that have patches, yes you can merge them if you want, but sometimes that can be hard to keep track of if you uninstall the mod and then have to reinstall it. You would have to remember that you need to reinstall both the main mod and the patch. It's all about what you feel comfortable with.
