Hi, I need help Trying to install mods running the latest atmosphere no idea what I am doing wrong but the mods do not seem to be showing up. I added everything to both the .ini files, I think I did the config for layerdfs correctly.
Secondary question where do I put the mods .ini files?

I don't know about this mod and have personally never seen an .ini file being used in a LFS mod, however if the mod doesn't work, it's either not compatible with your game version (unlikely because then it'd probably crash the game altogether) or you did not install it properly (more likely).


Make sure you really placed the files at the correct location on your SD card.

A basic example:
Inside /atmosphere/ you need to create a folder called "contents" if it does not exist.

Then you make another folder inside /atmosphere/contents/ now called "TITLE ID OF YOUR GAME" (look it up via Tinfoil DB for example), an imaginary example would be /atmosphere/contents/0100546DF3241/ .

Inside this folder with the title ID of Skyrim (make sure it really matches the region of your game) you create yet another folder called "romfs" and inside of that new folder belongs all the mod files that would get applied to the game.


Generally speaking look at the folder structure of the mod and reproduce the location where the mod belongs with the info I gave you. Some mods do have exeFS patches aswell, but those belong to a different patches, still with the info I gave you the idea stays the same and you have to closely follow the file structure.
PS: For good measures: If you happen to use SXOS, the first folders would not be /atmosphere/contents but /sxos/titles/ instead.

I just double-checked it all based on what you said and can't see the problem; this is my title id folder (esp and BSA's removed because they were too large but they were in the data folder where I left their .ini files). If you would be willing to look at it that would be super helpful.

I don't play Skyrim myself sorry, but if you want someone else to help it would be better for you to post the website link you got the mod from, I myself would avoid downloading a file like that from a new user with only two posts (including your latest), hope you understand and sorry again.

Assuming this is the case, on a quick, over-the-top look at your files, I don't see anything particulary weird.

Did you double-check to be launching the game the way you put in the override config for LayeredFS? Also, you have issues loading mods for other games?

I think I did layered fs config right... haven't modded any other games.

do I just add everything from the config-template into the config folder and then delete only the semi-colons?
This is how a standard override config file looks like:
[hbl_config]
program_id=010000000000100D
override_any_app=true
path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=!R

[default_config]
override_key=!L
cheat_enable_key=!L

then from what I can tell everything is set up correctly... maybe it is just Skyrim unbound that is broken (haven't gone past helgen to test all the others yet

Nobody reported that problem on Nexus, and the mod has +1200 downloads, so it's not very likely that the problem is the mod itself.
You are putting the main .ini files in \atmosphere\contents\01000A10041EA000\romfs, and every mod file in \atmosphere\contents\01000A10041EA000\romfs\Data? Also, you are only trying to load tested and converted mods, right?

Yes. Does the Skyrim Unbound .ini go in the romfs folder as well

do you have the patch file in the exefs folder in atmosphere?

should be a folder called SkyrimPluginPatch and it contains a .ips file...
That's only necessary if you are exceding the base limit of 10 mods. You don't need it if that's not the case, same for the Plugins file.

Shuffled my load order and that seemed to help
Didn't take a look at the mods you were loading, that shouldn't stop Atmos for reading the mods. But if it worked, then great!
