Additemmenu Mod not working

[Ironfistjecht]

Hello everyone,

 

I recently installed the Additemmenu - Ultimate Mod Explorer mod and it's simply put not working and getting to me slowly.

I did everything, I looked at help forums whereever I could, nothing of help. I have the latest SKSE and UIExtensions and despite reinstalling both, nothing happens.

 

I pick up the two cubes ingame by using the console and adding them, then click on either of them and it says "You can't equip this item". When I try to use the Spellbook that teaches me the Additem shout, it simply doesn't work. My character glows and no menu pops up.

Please explain this to me, anyone. It annoys me so badly that despite all effort, nothing happens.

I also use Additem Menu and I have never picked up any cubes, had to add something via console, or even bothered using the spell.

All I do is open my inventory (even on a new game), look at the "All Items" tab (with SkyUI, of course), then I see [AddItemMenu v2 Pack]. I select this and it opens up another menu showing 4 things that I can transfer to myself. There are two AddItem orbs and two AddItem spell books. I choose [AddItemMenu] and it gets transfered to my inventory. Then I reopen my inventory and select the new [AddItemMenu] and then it lets me browse my plugins.

I dunno if this is an old version of AddItem menu, but I make a great effort never to fix anything if it ain't broken.

the cubes (i think he means orbs) are the addmenuitem inventory gadgets that you need to have to use addmenuitem. in the beginning you have the "2", if u click that you get the addmenuitem and the addmenuitem [search], those are all you need. once you have them you can ditch the "2" and forget the spells you don't need that crap.

 

if you have the ones we mentioned and it still doesn't work then there is another issue. you didn't by chance edit the addmenuitem2.esp did you? edit the file name to read addmenuitem.esp?

It also specifically states on the AddItem Menu main page how to update, you should also use this guide to do a proper re-install:

 

Q: About how to update.

A: Uninstall old version. Launch game. Save. Close Game. Install new version. Launch game. Please use AIM2 pack in misc of inventory.

I tried everything as instructed. It didn't work.

 

This is my first time using the mod, by the way. There is no item in my inventory when I launch the game, not even with a completely new game from scratch. I can cheat myself the components neeeded to use the mod by using the console, but upon pressing on the Orbs nothing happens. "You can't equip this item" is all I get from doing so and the Spells are only making my character glow, they don't open any menu options.

Are any of these mods conflicting with the Additemmenu mod? Because the developer said nothing about conflicting mods.

I didn't edit anything since the author didn't tell me to. I downloaded the mod using Nexus Mod Manager and aside from the scripts and functions, the mod physically does nothing right now. It gives me two Dwemer Spheres, Additem Search and Additem, but neither can be used.

Update: I found the solution. If anyone of you has the same issue as me in the future, blame this on Nexus Mod Manager. If you don't run it in administrator mode, it ticks everything as enabled but doesn't really install anything in the first place.

I was just about to tell you to make sure the files of the mod are actually where they're supposed to be.  Glad you solved this on your own.  Most people never even think about doing what you just did.  It hurts my brain.  Lol!

 

Just physically check the files?  What a brilliant idea!

yea my question to u may have been a little odd but it stemmed from my own OCD issue where i renamed the addmenuitem2.esp and took out the "2" and in game the addmenuitem was there but didn't do anything so i went back out and added the "2" back into the esp name and it worked again. i still dunno why some esp can be renamed and still work and others can't.

 

oh well.. glad it worked out for u
