No game data on top level?

[Phont]

I understand that what this is saying is that the mod hasn't been packed correctly, but how do I go about fixing this?

 

I'm trying to install Apachii Sky Hair.

So mod managers like MO need to install files directly into the Skyrim/Data folder. If a mod isn't packaged to got right into the data folder you will need to pick a folder that is going to be the top level. Not sure which one it is for Apachii, but it is usually which ever folder has the plugins and textures in it. Just right click on that folder and select 'set as data directory' or something like that.

I think I get what you're saying. Here's what the tiers look like on the folder it comes in.

I'm assuming I just click on the "data" folder below ApachiiSkyHair_v_1_5_Full and set it as the data directory?

Right clicking on the data folder and setting it to data directory is correct. That will move it to the top level and all of the other jpegs will will not be installed.

Thanks you both!

 

I have one more question that isn't necessarily directed towards the topic but still applies to Mod Organizer.

 

In the "Archives" tab, I'm getting a caution triangle that's telling me "The archive will still be loaded since there is a plugin of the same name but it will not follow the load order!".

 

If I tick the box, the warning goes away. Is that the correct action choice?

 

I'm using mods installed by both Mod Organizer and the Steam Workshop.

That depends on the plugin and what exactly the mod author intent is.

It is not usual to have 2 plugins with the same name, so we need more details.

What plugin ?

What Mods are both plugins from ?

 

Also how many Steam Workshop Mods do you have. The best practice, for Mod Organizer, is to make each Steam Workshop Mod into an Archive, using 7-Zip (Free) and install, as any other mod using Mod Organizer.

I'm not really sure.

 

I shouldn't have 2 of the same plugins.

 

I ran the tutorial and it said to check any box that appears with that error under Archives so I just did that.
