This is why I have to stress again, you need to read and watch videos on how to install mods. To install a manually downloaded mod with Mod Organizer, you click the Install Mod button and then you choose the archive that you downloaded and click Open. That's it. Don't extract things and drag things or you will never get anything to work properly. When I use the words manually downloaded, what I mean is that you went to a website like LoversLab and clicked download and then the file goes into your downloads folder, and then you use the method I just described above to install it. This can be a little confusing because I also say "Don't manually install mods" and what I mean by that is, moving things by yourself into folders. The whole purpose of using the Mod Manager, in your case that is Mod Organizer 2, is so that you can easily Manage your Mods. If you are doing things outside of the program, then the program Can't Help You Manage your Mods! You'll get there, but it takes work and you have to put in some effort researching these things. yes this process i need to work on. maybe my problem is im not using mo2 properly for the install process. let add some more to the mystery. the reason i am dragging downloaded files is because im making sure mo2 puts them into the 'managed' category. idk if they need to be but this is what im doing. but it sounds like your saying click an install button this is through mod manager and that will open up the options to select the files i need. i believe ive seen this option but never used it because i was using the methods described above. so it sounds like i need to figure out how to install these files using mo2. sounds like where all this is falling apart. i never understood how to download using mo2 from LL. i think you just made it a necessity i learn. i wish i cold send you a video of install process i do so you can tell me everything im doing wrong. and i just cant get the male bodies to show in preview. justthe slides. how did you get mo2 to show so many of your mods at once when you sent me that screen shot?

Alt+Prtsc (captures active window into the windows clipboard) -> Paste into mspaint + crop out irrelevant info And yes that is a big problem, you want MO to "manage" your mods. This video by Gopher does a decent job of explaining some things about how mods are structured and installed via Mod Organizer. It's an older video, and he is working with Skyrim but the concepts are the same.

Then you can see how to install the rest of the ones you downloaded outside of the Nexus. The last 10 minutes of this video I'm linking below will be helpful, as they explain the left and right sides of MO, moving the load order around, and also how to install a mod that's been downloaded outside of the nexus manually by using the button. You can also see what I was talking about earlier, if you happen to download a mod that isn't set up properly and get the red text and have to choose the data folder in the small window prompt. There are many videos on installing Bodyslide, you will want to find one that is specific to installing bodyslide + Mod Organizer. But generally you just need to install it like any other mod, and set up the executable. For some reason the way you are running it, Bodyslide isn't seeing your mod files. I'm guessing it has to do with either the way you installed everything else, in combination with a bad bodyslide install. If you install things in MO and they aren't being "managed" I suspect then Bodyslide can't see them either. Of course, you can watch the whole thing and maybe there's some more info in there for you.

In Mod Organizer you can create a different "profile" so you won't lose anything in the current profile (unless you completely delete it from the mod folder) There is a drop down at the top next to the word "profile" and you can click on that and choose "manage" and create a test profile or a new profile to start staging everything from. You can choose to "copy" your current profile and then switch to the new one and remove the things you think are a problem and reinstall them. Having a test profile is nice because then you can enable just some mods if you want to troubleshoot a crash in the future.
