Downloading mods from Nexus?

WilliamAndrews6 · Nov 2, 2022

First let me say that this just started happening yesterday, the 1st. Before this there was no problem and I took no action that I know of to cause this.

My OS is Windows 10 Home, 22H2.

When I try to download a mod from Nexus with the "download with manager" button I get this message: "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, iFone is already installed, create an association in the default Apps Setting page." I can get around this by downloading the mod using "Manual" download but this is definitely a nuisance.

I am not certain what that "iFone" thing is, I might have copied that wrong. I don't even own a smart phone.

When I enable System from the start menu I do not have an Apps Setting page.

Whoever said that the definition of insanity is taking the same action over and over again and expecting a different result obviously never owned a computer, this is something that Windows10 just decided to do on it's own.

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

I'm glad to help you.

I didn't find the ifone program you described. Maybe you misspelled it. However, if you want to download the nexus mod through an application, you can install this application to download and manage mods.

Nexus Mod Manager for Windows ⬇️ Download Nexus Mod Manager for Free & Install on PC (nexus-mod-manager.com)

How to Download - Nexus Mod Manager App (nexus-mod-manager-free.com)

Hi Bolski, my name is Oskayra. I am very happy to be able to answer your question.

According to the Nexus Mods website, you can use Nexus Mods in Skyrim Special Edition from the Microsoft Store on PC using the Vortex mod manager. Vortex is a free mod manager that allows you to install Nexus Mods into games running on the Microsoft Store.

To use Vortex with Skyrim Special Edition from the Microsoft Store, follow these steps:

1. Download and install Vortex from the Nexus Mods website.

2. Open Vortex and click the "Add Game" button.

3. Select "Skyrim Special Edition" and click "Next".

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up Vortex for Skyrim Special Edition.

Once you have Vortex set up, you can start installing mods from Nexus Mods. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Find the mod you want to install in the Vortex mod library.

2. Click on the mod and then click on the "Install" button.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the mod.

Once you've installed a mod, you can turn it on or off in the Vortex mod menu.

Here are some tips for using Vortex with Skyrim Special Edition from the Microsoft Store:

Make sure your version of Skyrim Special Edition is updated to the latest version.

If you're having trouble installing a mod, check the mod's description page for help.

More information on how to use Vortex with Skyrim Special Edition can be found on the Nexus Mods website.

I hope my answer has been useful to you. If so, let me know and if you have any other problems, don't hesitate to contact me.

There is actually a very simple way of adding mods to the game. By going into C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Packages\39EA002F.FINALFANTASYXVforPC_n746a19ndrrjg\LocalState you will be able to find a folder called "mod" in which you can install mods you
may have downloaded from a website like nexus mods.

Hi,

Sorry but Nexus Mods is PC only. There is no way to install any of the mods on that website on an Xbox One. Fallout 4 and Skyrim have their own mod options from Bethesda and these are the only options you have.

Besides, many of the higher end mods on Nexus (especially the graphics ones) wouldn't work on consoles anyway. And the many nudity mods would be a definite no.

For anyone wondering what mods are already available for Fallout, just search nexus mods fallout 4.
