Also note that some overly aggressive antivirus software may also block Mod Organizer's virtual file system so you might consider adding the Mod Organizer folder to the exceptions list. if you don't do this, Windows 10 may block the virtual file system and make it look as if Mod Organizer isn't working correctly.
You can install Mod Organizer pretty much anywhere you want (say C:\Games or C:\Tools) provided it is outside any UAC controlled folder (like C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) and outside the Steam and game folders.įinally, when you download Mod Organizer you should unblock the file you downloaded (File Explorer, right click the zip or exe file you file downloaded, Properties, click Unblick, click OK). I can't tell where Mod Organizer is installed in that snippet, but ensure Mod Organizer is not installed in the Steam or Skyrim SE folder because the virtual file system will not work correctly.
You can use Steam to move the Skyrim SE to another folder (like C:\Games) that is not protected by the operating system. thank you for at least being someone that has replied. I think the first clue here is that you have Skyrim Special Edition installed in C:\Program Files (x86) so you're likely running into UAC and permissions issues.
