I downloaded a few different graphics mods from nexus' website and they all downloaded/activated without any trouble. I came across SkyUI, thought it looked great and downloaded it. When I tried to activate it, however, a box pops up that says "An exception occurred in the script" followed by a long stack trace. The error window doesn't let me click & drag or press ctrl + a so I took a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/fxHUM
It seems to be trying to get permission to do... something and then fails. I thought I could fix this by running NMM as an administrator but to no avail. I tried giving the NMM .exe file additional permissions but that didn't work either.
Eventually I came across a post somewhere that said that NMM has trouble modifying things in the C:/Program Files/ directory, so I uninstalled Steam (don't worry I only had 4 games ) and NMM and reinstalled them in a location that was less... privileged. After Skyrim had installed and I had re-activated my other mods, I tried to download and activate SkyUI again but it didn't work.
Before anyone asks, I do have SKSE installed (the Steam version) and Skyrim works just fine. I would like to play it with SkyUI though
Can't Activate on NMM (4 comments)
