First you install all requirements for DD 5.1? I don't hear about that versus error in vortex. Choose menu plugins and see what plugins there is active and what inactive (disabled)

Quick question is the 5.2 beta AE compatible?

Yes

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I searched for people with similar issues and I couldn't come to a solution. Essentially, I used Vortex to install DD but it didn't give me any installation menu or whatnot and instead just claims that I'm missing pre-requisites in spite of the fact that I have everything. It just says that I'm missing the pre-requisite of 'update.esm' which I assume to be a placeholder considering that another mod had a similar issue but I just reinstalled it and it worked.

I had the same issue despite the fact that I did it on a brand new save without any other mods, I suspect this might be an issue on Vortex's behalf considering that I had a similar problem with Sexlab Kidnapping.

I too am having issues with installing via vortex. Getting the same "missing prerequisites" mumbo jumbo and no fomod is appearing when I go to install it.

Use the DD 5.2 beta bodyslides for DD.

DCL 3BBB link works fine.

 

What issue are you having with the bras? Have you rebuilt the bodyslides? Made sure the outputs are going to the right place?

rebuilt, stuff going to the right place, bras are stiff but breast moving around...?

You need to match the bras to your body. There's no way (that I know of at least) to stop the jiggling only when there's a chastity bra equipped.

I use vortex from start of Skyrim SE and no have any problem. Never.

Probably i know where is your problem: You install steam and game library on c :\program files ....

I install steam on main drive c :\steam .... and have libraries on other drives g: steam ... and this works fine. Vortex don't like path program files.

Never seen that error. There was an update for Vortex stable version. Try the update, it is 1.5.4.  Do not use beta versions. 

The update or the re-install of Vortex with a newer version may help.  Vortex should announce the update with a "Restart & install" button.

 

Make sure the folder that holds Skyrim is not in "Program Files".

How to match it?

Use the Bodyslide files designed for better compatibility with the body you are using.  DD has included CBBE and UUNP, but no "CBBE Body Amazing v2" (3BAv2, aka v2 of CBBE 3BBB). You need to download 3BA from the beta files, also the 3BBB meshes normaly has 3 bones to define breast physics, clipping will occur if the slot56 mesh do not have the same (DD bras).  Build the BRAs using the HDT option if available and the same preset used for body.

Just want to give a big shout out to you guys; my Vampire Sight/Night Eye has been broken ever since installing ENB on my skyrim. Tried a bunch of fixes, nothing would work that wouldn't cause me to lose out on the beauty of the ENB. Then all of a sudden I got a blindfold slapped on me in game from cursed loot and boom; it transformed my vision to effectively night eye. Yay! Now whenever I'm in a dungeon and want to flip on Vampire Sight, I toss on a blindfold instead lol

I was just about to ask about this.

I have the vortex update and it shows this as well, I even tried rebooting PC to see about making them inactive:

 

Errors were reported processing the installer for "Devious Devices SE & VR 5.1".
Installer Prerequisits not fulfilled: File 'skyrim.esm' is Active.
Fime 'update.esm' is Active

Having this issue as well, wanted to change some things around in my modlist after the update and suddenly devious devices can't find skyrim.esm on install attempt. Everything else thats not dependent on dd is working fine, but i can no longer install devious devices

@tanaxanth and @Racoonjones

DD 5.1 and 5.2 have this in the FOMOD config:

  <moduleDependencies>
    <fileDependency file="Skyrim.ESM" state="Active" />
    <fileDependency file="Update.ESM" state="Active" />
    <fileDependency file="SexLab.ESM" state="Active" />
    <fileDependency file="SexLabAroused.ESM" state="Active" />
  </moduleDependencies>

 

Do not know why Vortex can find the files, but make sure the game is not in "Program Files".

 

NO -->  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\  <--- NO

• Program files have higher security policies applied and will block software operating at the user level for certain operations.

Example:   YES --> C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim\

• Custom User made folder do not have the extra security by default.

 

Vortex:

1. In the SSE game

• plugins section
• In the column "status", in the pull down menu(in the column name label), choose "Loaded by engine".
• Does it show the Skyrim.esm, update.esm, and DLC files?

Ok. stupid question.

edit:

Did a re-installation variant and the error appears in my Vortex.  It is likely a Vortex issue.

I installed a while back in a different Vortex version.

 

This issue need to be follow-up in Vortex support forums.

 

Will try a workaround with a modified FOMOD.

 

I do not know, something change. Windows, Vortex, anti-virus, or the game.  

 

?‍♂️

 

Personal experience.  Shit happens.

A while ago, the volume that has SkyrimSe and the mods got corrupted somehow and many meshes and textures got affected. 

Windows did not warn about the drive, but Skyrim was CTD constantly and I could not find why until a restart of Windows presented the Drive scan notice for corrupted drive detected.

That forced me to do a steam validation, a downgrade, and a purge/re-install of the Vortex mod profile back to the game folder and redo a lot of setup like bodyslide.  Hours lost.

I'm having the same issue as you all. Someone said the stable version of vortex is 1.5.4 as of today the stable version is 1.5.5. Something is really screwy.  At first it was telling me skyrim.esm wasn't active i started the game from the launcher and that was fixed now it says update.esm isn't active but vortex shows it active. Below is the errors i'm getting:

 

 

 

Does anyone know how to fix this?  Log a bug report to vortex also.

Hello, I have the same problem with all the 'devious devices' mods.

 

Spoiler

 

I noticed that since the vortex update all people trying to install these mods have the same error.
Do you know if there is already a solution?
In my case, I have the game installed in a custom file of mine (not in program files).

It is a Vortex issue.

 

 

[safado]

Workaround for the Vortex installation fail requesting some files need to be active:

 

• Create a new folder (example: dd51) and extract the mod archive into it.
• Look for the folder "fomod" in the extracted content.
• Open "ModuleConfig.xml" with a decent editor like "NotepadPlusPlus".
• Locate the tag <moduleDependencies> and the tag closure </moduleDependencies>
• Delete the tags and everything between them.
• Save the edited file.
• Compress with 7z or rar the folder holding the extracted content.
• Drag or copy the new compressed mod into Vortex.
• The installation will not look for dependencies anymore.

The issue is in Vortex fomod implementation.  Maybe is looking in the temp folder where it extracts during installation of mod. It will not find Skyrim there.  Who knows what they did.

I've got a problem with the chains. they're not animated and are just floating between my character's legs, I've looked around but haven't found a solution, if someone could let me know of a fix for this that'd be amazing

Me di cuenta de que desde la actualización de vórtice, todas las personas que intentan instalar estos mods tienen el mismo error.
¿Sabes si ya hay una solución?
En mi caso, tengo el juego instalado en un archivo personalizado mío (no en archivos de programa).

 

Good news!
I already managed to fix the error, to do it just downgrade vortex to the previous version. Then install all the 'device' mods and voila!
