They are considered lower in the mod load order.

On the other hand, mods at the bottom of the list are loaded last. Some mods will say they require to be the highest mod, or at the top of the load order. They are considered higher in the mod load order.

This is another attack vector that malicious entities can use to get code to execute on your system (without being an administrator).Mods at the top of the list are loaded first. UAC is designed to make it convenient to execute code with elevated privileges (even if your are not an administrator). While in most cases that won't be an issue, but if someone has modified a dll/library with malicious intent - then what ever code the library contains will run with elevated privileges. The reason why it is a bad idea to run a program as an administrator isīecause the program (and any dll/library that gets loaded) will have elevated privileges. The correct remedy for this would be to grant yourself write permissions to 'Games' and all sub-folders (including files) - also you would want to take ownership of the folders. This would also be just like running code as root on linux/mac Just to overcome a permissions error such as: Unable to get write permissions for: I would never run any code/program as administrator (and I would disable UAC) unless you fully trust the code and all libraries that are loaded by said code The directories here are the ones you'd want to change to some folder you can write to. You can also edit it with a text editor.Ĭ:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Skyrim\Install Info You can delete this file, but you'll lose any other NMM settings (including the location of any games that were scanned previously). The name of the directories in this folder depend on your version of NMM, but the file you're looking for is nfig. Alternatively, from your user's home directory, look for "AppData" and then "Local" and then "Black_Tree_Gaming" The config file for Nexus Mod Manager is stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Black_Tree_Gaming - you can copy and paste this into the address bar of Windows Explorer to go there, or paste it into the "Run" or "Search" dialog on the Start menu. If that's the case, you can edit or delete the config file so that you can pick a new directory. If you've already selected the default mod directories, you won't be asked if you want to change them when you get this error. You do not want to set these directories to something under C:\Program Files or in the Steam folder, etc. You could potentially put this in your Documents folder, but I have "projects" folder I created in my home directory, which works well for me. When the Mod Manager asks you where you want to save the mod files, pick someplace under C:\Users(your user name)\ or C:\Documents and Settings(your user name), depending on the version of Windows you're using.

If you install to some subdirectory of your home directory, you won't have to worry about permissions and so forth. Put your Nexus Mod Manager files somewhere else. Now you can write to C:\Games, which ought to make NMM happy.
Just right click, and choose the "Run as Administrator" option. This way, it will have permissions to write to the root of C:\, and then you can create the files/folders there. They want you to install into a subfolder of C:\, and if you don't have administrator rights, chances are you can't create the "Games" folder you need (C:\Games). The root cause is that the default folder that Nexus Mod Manager wants to install into is not typically writable by normal users. I ran into this problem today, and I've come up with a few solutions.
