Game file structure.

Post » Mon Feb 11, 2013 4:50 pm

Hey all... I had an issue where I was out of space on my c drive.. I tried moving folders around between 3 drives... I screwed something up and now even though I can get Skyrim/steam to run and I can start a game... I can't load anything... all my files are gone... and even if I play from the start if I click save it just displays New Save.... and I can't click load.. it doesn't show me any files to load...
I want to try to put back all the folders in the right place and try again... any ideas?

Save files (extension .ess) are supposed to be located in My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves. Move them back there and the game should be able to find them again.

Er, if you moved critical folders and all, you may need to reinstall Windows...
