Problem with modding game using advanced install manage

Hi there,

Thank you for the reply. The link above does not appear to provide any kind of how to for enabling mods.

This is part of my confusion too. From what I've read the ability to mod is now activated automatically.

Am I right in thinking you should be able to check if a game is moddable by selecting the three dots on the game image in the downloaded list then selecting manage then under the general tab the option should be there. If so on the games I'm looking to mod there is nothing there referencing mods. However I do have a game that show the below messages which leads me to believe this game is not moddable where as the others are

"Advanced game features, this game does not support advanced installation and management features." Also the get help link with this just links to troubleshooting of installing games I can't see any reference to the advanced game features.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

From the knowledge I have the mods do not work for games from the Game Pass catalog, work for a few and have to own the game.

Thanks for your reply.



However, through subsequent attempts and inquiries, I think that the computer with the "advanced installation" problem has a problem with the operation of the Xbox app before the "advanced installation" is enabled, rather than the Xbox Insider itself.



My computers in question were unable to successfully create a desktop shortcut to the game before and after enabling "Advanced Installation and Management Features". And the top of the app will prompt an error, and clicking it will jump to Microsoft's error 0x80073d26 page. (Although it does not affect the main functions of the app, such as downloading and running games)



And my 4th PC running the Xbox "Advanced Install" succeeded, it had no errors before and after enabling the "Advanced Install and Management Features" and successfully created the shortcut. By the way, I've already tried "Reinstall Windows from this device". still doesn't work.

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:

If you're using the app in it's current form, most games can't be accessed as they install to an encrypted folder. There are some titles that install to the modifiableWindowsApps folder. These games are generally able to support mods.

The way PC games install on the app is going to be changing soon

When these changes have been completed, it should be possible to install most if not all titles to any folder you want and have full access to the files. It's possible to test this now by becoming an insider. Full instructions here.

Just be aware, there are some known issues at the moment.
