ERROR: mod [...] doesn't exist, maybe there is a typo?


Question

Posted

Hey guys.

I keep getting the error that Mod Organizer can't find a mod, because it doesn't exist. That is because I have deletes the "mod" called "FNIS Overwrite"

 

This mod was created simply to add the new files that are put in the "overwrite" folder, every time I run FNIS. Meaning that those files were simply put inside of FNIS' folder, and thus, does no longer exist.

 

Attempted to remove FNIS completely, restart Mod Morganizer and then re-install. Even when FNIS is absent from the mods, I still get this error. 

I've noticed that once you create a mod, a "meta.ini" is made. I assume this is what MO reads, and writes to. Perhaps it's trying to find the mod? But I don't see how it is, because it's now completely gone and erased.

 

I've provided a screenshot.

Again, "FNIS Overwrite" is no longer in my system, but the error persists. I don't get the actual error in my log, but I get the warning "There was an error reported recently"

 

What do I do?

 

Thanks in advance.

The 'FNIS Overwrite' mod you created resides in a folder with the same name in the Mod Organizer\mods\ folder. Deleting that folder from the Windows explorer is the same thing as deleting the mod from within MO. It should have been deleted if you did so from MO. The 'meta.ini' exists only within that folder so it can safely be deleted also, if that mod is no longer needed.

 

If you no longer have either FNIS or the 'FNIS Overwrite' mod installed then most likely it is a leftover message in your logs. The logs in the Mod Organizer\logs\ folder can be deleted also, a new set will be created upon the next startup. If that message no longer appears there is no issue and you can continue as normal.

This worked! Thank you so much! I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and having that warning really bothered me. Thank you!
