» Sun Jul 01, 2012 5:25 am I haven't played Skyrim in over six months (I last played back in December of '11.) I've always played the game through Steam and never had any problems. I also had quite a few mods installed, most of them graphical/cosmetic in nature, and never had a single problem loading them, nor did I have any gameplay problems with them. I downloaded all of them from the Skyrim Nexus.
Recently reading about the upcoming (for PC users, anyway...) Dawnguard DLC made me want to play Skyrim again, so just now I fired up Steam and went to launch the game launcher.
However, now when I click on Data Files, all of my old mods are gone from the list. My list is, in fact, utterly blank. I launched the game anyway, and everything's back to vanilla - all my mods are gone.
When I last played the game, the Skyrim Workshop on Steam hadn't been implemented yet. I'm guessing that its implementation somehow obliterated all of the mods I previously had installed.
When I browse to the Data folder in my Steam > Skyrim directory, all of the .esp files and texture files from the old mods are gone.
Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I losing my mind? Is there anything I can do?
I could probably pore over the Nexus files and find all of the old mods I had, but I'd probably miss a few of them, and frankly, it took quite a bit of work to get them all installed last time. >_<
I should also point out that I hadn't logged into Steam for several months either - so perhaps some kind of update to Skyrim that Steam forced upon me is what ate my mods?
I'm actually pretty sad about this. I really had my game looking - and playing - the way I wanted it ;_;
Anyway - thank you in advance if anyone has any insight or advice! :}
