NMM write permission

[AwfulArchdemon]

Ok, I just recently relocated my Steam folder from default to C:\Games, and I wanted to use ZaZ animations. I could never get them to work, so I checked the thread and it says that the "XX" at the beginnig of the form ID is the load order in the Nexus MM, so I checked my NMM, but I get an error that says "unable to get write permission for: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim. Then it wants to rescan my Skyrim, but it can't find it. My NMM is in my [Games] folder, right above my Steam folder. How can I get NMM to find my game?

I assume you tried reinstalling NMM?

Don't use NMM..........

Don't use NMM..........

It's a little too late to not use NMM, since hundreds of mods are already on it. I did not do the reinstall update thing the Nexus asked me to do, but that error is still showing up. I have a grudge with Nexus now. GO LL!!  What do you think is my best option?

Abandoning NMM would be like starting over (again). Hours of finding all the mods I use. I don't rely solely on NMM, but it is far too useful to abandon when you know what mistakes it makes, and how to correct them quickly. Am I out of luck, or can I make this thing recognize my Skyrim again?

ps. I know why you say don't use NMM Arc of Truth, but I didn't even know about LL until a couple months ago, so I didn't have proper practice at installing mods manually. I have only used a computer for 5 months... total. Never even Googled something before then. Already half-way through making a quest mod though! Can type in Japanese... okay, I'm rambling, but I'll be posting a mod on the Lab soon, after my training, so I thought I'd mention that.

Have you used Wrye Bash? It's more powerful.

I dont have NMM installed in my steam folder and everything seems to be working fine. try searching for this:

 

C:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Skyrim\Install Info

 

and delete all content (make baccup copies) and try again.

Ok, I managed to get the NMM working through a bunch of file relocating, and my mods are all active, but you'd never know it if you saw my NMM. NO MODS ARE IN THAT B*&%@!!  So I was wondering if there is a quick way to put them all back in, instead of this 1 at a time crap. I got too many mods to be reinstalling and activating individual mods. Thanks.

Thanks, but that doesn't tell me how to throw everything into the manager at once. Really, the only reason I wanna use the NMM is to easily deactivate Children of the Sky (and Breezehome Children) at will, because from what I can tell, there is no easy way to deactivate that mod, and you can't load saves that use Imperial, Redgaurd, etc. with C of the S active, or you will look really wierd and deformed. And before you say "Use one race at a time!"... NO! I should be able to use Redgaurd for a couple days and switch to C of the S for a couple. Thanks for the replies, guys. I hate needing this rediculous NMM (piece of s***!), but it is what it is.
