[Solved] Recently moved Skyrim to another drive; Skyrim Launcher launches every single time

[mrsmexythebeast]

As the title suggests, I've recently moved my Skyrim directory along with Mod Organizer to an external SSD. I've corrected all the pathways in Mod Organizer and Skyrim Performance Monitor, and the game runs fine, except for the fact that every time the game starts, it goes to the launcher first, and I have to click on play game from the launcher, meaning that none of my mods get loaded.

 

I've tried launching the game through:

Skyrim Performance Monitor

Mod Organizer

SKSE Loader

TESV.exe

 

All the pathways are correct; they're executing the proper files. I'm not launching Skyrim Launcher at all, I am running TESV.exe. Yet, for some reason, it goes to launcher every single time, and boom, no mods loaded.

 

Any suggestions? it would be hugely appreciated.

 

 

EDIT- Solved. Silly question with easy answer: Validating Skyrim through Steam fixed the issue.
