Updated my Mod Organizer and "Archives" became empty

[yic17]

As the topic says, after updating to the newest Mod Organizer, my bsa files in the "Archives" section are all gone. How do I get them back?

 

Thanks.

Not sure if by default your BSAs get extracted with MO 1.2.1. If they do that is what happened. I have MO set to always extract the BSAs into loose files, therefore I don't have any BSAs.

Okay that's probably what happened. Since I see the texture files from the BSA as loose files under the "mods" folder.

 

However, Mod Organizer gives me this "This file is a dummy" icon and says if I check the BSA in the archives, I can deactivate the esp. So if the BSA is extracted, does it mean I can safely deactivate these "dummy" esps?

Yes should be safe deactivating them. You can also go to the mods install directory and delete them. It is up to you.
