I'm running Windows 8.1 and a fresh install of Fallout New Vegas with no mods so far. I've stumbled upon a weird issue that I haven't encountered or read about before. While you can keep them there, since you are using a manager to mod your game, it makes more sense to install ALL mods via MO2 and then let it directly manage those mods. On another note the screenshot shows some mods installed directly into the game folder, those marked as 'Unmanaged'.
When you run MO2 again, if the registry settings are there, you should be presented with an option choose which game to manage. I have all my MO related stuff in a simple folder structure on another drive, the extra drive isn't important, just that it is nowhere near my game installs. MO/MO2 could, and I would argue should, be installed somewhere completely removed from the game installation and it will recognise all games that have the correct registry settings.Įasiest steps here is to purge your system of MO2 again and run SSE from the launcher and then install MO2 somewhere in its own folder. It is these settings that MO/MO2 uses to 'see' what games you have installed. You must have, at least once, run the game's launcher to correctly set all the game's registry settings. The installation location of MO/MO2 has NO BEARING on how it manages your games.
