Make sure you’ve followed the Beginner’s Guide in the sidebar. There’s one for both versions of Skyrim.
yep, thats how I discovered my problem
When trying to activate SkyUI I receive an error stating «An exception occurred in the script»
Now the only thing different between what I am doing and what the beginner guide recommends is that I am using NMM over MO (simply because I prefer the more hands off approach of being able to simply activate a mod with a click)
6 months ago this mod was not an issue to activate, however between then and Now I re-imaged my machine and reinstalled all of my steam games, finally installing skyrim and the requisite modding tools tonight…
never seen this kind of error before, anybody got any ideas?
here is an Imgur link for the full stack error
edit: for mods, please don’t delete as this is the first time someone has been able to answer this question, I spent over an hour looking for answers, before figuring it out…
6 months later edit: If anyone needs help with this issue after reading the comments, please feel free to DM me, I’ll try and get back to you withing 48 hours…
