Possible variants of the problem
There are 2 types of problems with the inability to connect mods for the game. Option one: all inscriptions are active in the launcher except for the “Files” tab itself, in this case you won’t be able to click on it. Accordingly, no modifications to the game can be connected. It looks like this.
Another option is also possible, the "Files" tab works, but the Skyrim launcher does not see the mod, the window that opens in this case is simply empty or only standard add-ons are displayed in it.
It is quite possible to solve these problems.
If the "Files" tab is not lit
If the "Files" tab is inactive and it's impossible to even see which mods can be connected, then the problem is in the SkyrimPrefs.ini folder. For the launcher to work correctly and the ability to connect mods, you need to open this document in notepad or other text editor, and then add a line in the Launcher section.
bEnableFileSelection=1
How to find given file? At standard installation game file must be in system drive(most often this is the C:\ drive), in the My Documents folder My Games\Skyrim\.
If the launcher does not see mods
In this scenario, there are 2 possible causes and, accordingly, 2 options for solving the problem.
Option 1. If the game sees standard add-ons, but not downloaded from external resources, check that the mods are installed correctly. Modifications must be installed in the Data folder, which is located in the root directory of the game. In this case, the downloaded files must be unpacked (if they were in the archive). If there is a Data folder in the folder with the downloaded mod, then you need to drop it into the Skyrim folder (where there is a Data folder with subsequent merging).
If the archive contains folders with meshes and textures, as well as files with the esp and bsa extensions, then the contents of such an archive must be extracted to the game's Data folder.
Perhaps exactly correct installation mods will allow Skyrim to see modifications.
Option 2. It is possible that the game does not see mods at all. In this case, some error occurred in the combination of the registry and file system. For example, the appearance of such a problem is possible if you renamed the folder with the game, moved it, or just some kind of failure occurred in the registry. In this case, you need to open the registry with the command Windows + r (or Start Run) write the word regedit.
You need to find the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Bethesda Softworks/Skyrim/
In the Installed Path line, the path to Skyrim is most likely incorrect. Perhaps the Skyrim launcher does not see mods for this reason. You need to specify the correct path to the game and this problem will be solved.
Whatever the problem with Skyrim modifications, it can be solved. We hope that the methods outlined in this article helped to get rid of the problem when the Skyrim launcher does not see the mod.
