Skyrim can't find my mods from saved game

When I start Skyrim from MO and I click on Load from Skyrim's Main Menu and I pick a saved game, I get this message: "This save relies on content that is no longer present. Some objects may no longer be available. Continue Loading? Missing files: Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, etc" And it lists all of my mods.

 

When I click OK it will load with my character in Whiterun or wherever I saved the game at, but all of my mods act like this is a new game and I lose all of my progression from the mods. I don't know what I did wrong for Skyrim to act this way. 

 

Before this happened I shut down my computer for the night and turned it back on in the morning and Steam couldn't automatically log me in so I had to put in my password again. Then I started Skyrim and this started happening. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

That doesn't make any sense. Neither MO nor NMM can not-load those files. They are hard-wired into the game, and mod managers can not be used to not load them.

 

Starting on the bridge near Whiterun is standard behaviour if one cell couldn't be loaded. There are several of those cells you could spawn if something had happened. Not sure, how that is triggered, but near the river is typical.

 

Besides the idea Storms had, I think you should try these two things: 1) does the problem persist on new characters, or is it just on that save game (error in the file for this character), 2) or is it with any character you create via MO (error in the MO installation)?

Thank you for your help. I moved the DLC esm's from the overwrite folder into their respective mods. I left the backup mods in the Overwrite folder.

 

After I start a new character I don't get the "This save relies on content no longer available..." message when I load the new save but all the mods still reload like it's a new game. Again, thank you for your help, I will keep working on it.

Friend, sorry to be a wise ass, but why did you move the files from TES5Edit into the respective mods folder? It's better (and in the youtube guide) to create a new folder only for those files. Maybe I misunderstood you here - in case I did, nevermind me. But, anyway, best to not actually overwrite those files.

 

And for the second part, a question: do I understand this correctly, when you create a new char, all installed mods need to install themselves ingame, but they work. When you reload the game and with the new char, they still work. Or do they again need to reinstall them? That part is important, because it would mean that your setup is not working.

 

For the original save game that had this bug with the ever "need to load all mods" bug: try mods like Savecleaner and the like. Or load it, do a clean save, and then try to clean it. If the problem is with the single save game alone, you could try to repair it.

I had a similar problem with NMM once, I fixed it by deleting all the dlc files (esps and bsas) and verifiing my installation via steam. Ofc you'd have to re-clean them, but that should be worth it.

You mean they are still there? The overwrite folder is not a closet to put/leave all the stuff you currently don't need, it's a folder that just overwrites anything else... always.
