well in mod oganizer at the top right you have a button which is a red triangle and it tells me there are potential problems with my set up, in the left panel below the mod names there is a word in red italics which says overwrite, if you double click on it a box comes up saying overwrite and in the main part of the box it says skse file folder

Sometimes files are created when you run the game. Many SKSE plugins create log files somewhere under the SKSE folder. You can safely create a new mod from the overwrite folder to hold your SKSE logs then in future instances drag and drop from the overwrite into the SKSE log mod folder.
Alternatively, expand the contents of the overwrite folder and determine if you really need them. If not, delete. Else make a new mod folder to hold the contents.
FYI — Crash Fixes beta 12 for some reason always creates an SKSE folder in the overwrite directory. If you are using that mod, the SKSE folder could be empty. In that scenario, simply delete.

you need to open up the skse folder in overwrite and determine which mod created it then copy it to that mod. Example: i use racemenu and show racemenu. If in game i go into show racemenu and i make changes to char and i save preset, when going back into mod organizer that preset will be in my overwrite. It will be an skse folder. Open skse folder with little arrow key and confirm that its preset then drag skse folder to racemenu mod(in MO) and copy anx replace. Then delete skse folder in overwrite

I’m a «senior citizen» new to this modding thing but am trying to learn. I recently got this warning on my Mod Organizer and now I can’t start the game.
Files in the Overwrite mod are are usually files created by an external tool (i.e. Wrye Bash, Automatic Variants, …).
It is advisable you empty the Overwrite directory by moving those files to an existing mod. You can do this by double-clicking the Overwrite mod and use drag&drop to move the files to a mod.
Alternatively, right-click on Overwrite and create a new regular mod from the files there.
I can find these files in my file explorer but have no idea if what is in them is necessary. I found 10 overwrite folders. How do I know what to leave alone and what to change to an existing mod? (not all overwrite files contain items)

I right click and choose «create mod» and name the mod something related to my profile…..and i put all patcher data and SKSE logs into this folder.
If anymore logs are created in future you can drag and drop into that folder.

Okay… after playing with the Vanilla Skyrim, I thought to give a try and play with mods.
Fist, I used a completed «set», the «TMP Skyrim» (you can search and find it in YouTube)… It was VERY «heavy» (the creator has a superb machine and still has 55-60 fps in the game, I had same… but in many cases/scenes bellow 20!), so I dropped it.
Then… I removed the game completely, made total fresh install, didn’t even started once and I started the «S.T.E.P.» guide…
First, in «S.T.E.P» guide, many times saying «install the main file, don’t install the X files»… and such. When I’m pressing the «S.T.E.P.» link (of a mod), the Nexus pages opens, I’m pressing the green button, MO starts automatically to download the mod, when I’m double-clicking the mod MOST OF THE TIME the installation begins without any «choose» option (to check this and don’t check that)…so,. the mod installing anything (all? some?).
Second, I have now this picture here in MO:
Many-many files have «flags» for «Overwriting files» & «Not Endorsed yet»… How am I suppose to fix these???
I’m reading for a hour now posts and «S.T.E.P.» guides… and I don’t understanding a thing!

I was using NMM fist… I thought it was more «user friendly». Now, I’m using the MO because «S.T.E.P.» suggesting that.
But I’m «lost» in this app…
Please, heeeelp! I want to FINALLY PLAY the damn game during weekend…
And when I’m double-clicking the «Overwrite» last entry in mods’ list, there isn’t anything there, is empty…

Hello, I’m new to MO2 and was happily installing mods into Skyrim SE (Avoiding AE for now until more mods are updated) then I noticed I am getting some files in the overwrite section.
OLD out of date documentation maintained by MO2, about 6 or 7 years out of date, says to right click on the files and select create mod — that’s great except there is no longer a «create mod» command.
There is now no guidance for this issue. There is a right-click command «Create Backup» which, surprisingly not only creates _another _file__int he overwrite directory, it leaves the original file in the overwrite directory as well. So no help there, in fact it just makes the problem worse.
Some Guidance would be appreciated!

Mod Organizer Overwrite Folder question
I am kind of confused when it comes to the Overwrite Folder. Whenever I end a session of playing Skyrim, there is something in that folder. From a tutorial I know that I need to make a mod out of it and name it anything I want. Problem is that my modlist will be full of those in no time. I am using ‘Take Notes’ and every entry will put some files into the Overwrite folder (plus some other things). Do I really need to make a new mod off of the files everytime? Maybe I misunderstand something I am new to MO. May someone clarify, please?
Thanks @Bluegunk
This had lead me on a bit of an investigation and I may have an easy workaround for those that have their MO2 install in the default, %appdata%, location.
There are 2 errors I get when I run WB and try to build a bashed patch. One is the failure to create a folder called «docs» and the other is the failure to create the *.html, at least this is the feedback from Windows I get.
However this is misleading as this is only happening when another mod is active that has a ‘Docs’ folder, such as USSEP.
MO2 sees that folder and tries to use it but can’t see the Bashed Patch, 0.txt template so fails to create the Bashed Patch, 0.html. The logs show all the files are being created and stored in WB‘s temp folders but the actual copy operations fail.
So the easiest way around ALL contingencies, ie. whether or not an existing mod has a ‘Docs’ folder, is to create a blank bashed patch mod and populate it with blank files; Bashed Patch, 0.txt & Bashed Patch, 0.html, and ensure this mod is active before you call WB. This way MO2 instructs WB to use these files and folders and ‘Overwrite’ is never needed nor does MO2 need to look elsewhere for the templates.
To be fair MO 1.3.11 still has some oddities regarding WB on some systems. I always got an error when the report window was called or it would give me the report from the previous time instead so this is just because we’re calling a tool from inside another tool that also makes calls on the OS to generate files and then call file operations on those files which in turn… You get the idea, we’re only a few steps away from break the time-space continuum and all of us falling into an alternate reality.
As long as we can get the job done, as you have, that’s all that matters.
Владельцы Skyrim, использующие Mod Organizer 2, могут столкнуться со следующей проблемой: он иногда предупреждает о перезаписи нескольких файлов.
Что это значит? Обычно модификации включают в себя файлы, которые заменяют уже существующие в игре. Это может привести к конфликтам между модификациями и путанице в том, какая модификация должна иметь приоритет.
Чтобы решить эту проблему, выберите одну из следующих лучших практик.
Текстуры
Если вы пытаетесь установить модификацию с текстурами, которые заменяют текстуры из другого мода, MO2 даст вам предупреждение о перезаписи. В этом случае выберите файл, который хотите установить, щелкнув правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Copy Mod Name as Directory». После этого перенесите это в финальный файл.
Meshes
Аналогично, замена сетки может привести к конфликтам. Если вы устанавливаете модификацию, которая заменяет определенную меш, может быть проигнорирована. Скопируйте модификацию в директорию модов MO2 и перетащите все папки с мешами в папку с новым именем. Это поможет предотвратить перезапись.
Звук
Возможны случаи, когда две модификации используют одинаковые медиа-файлы. В этом случае MO2 может не позволить установить одну из них. Вы можете скопировать этот файл из первоначальной модификации в другую папку и перенести его в новую директорию. В этом случае вы сможете установить обе модификации.
Тексты
Аналогично, если две модификации используют одинаковые текстовые файлы, возможны проблемы с установкой этих файлов. Чтобы избежать этого, снова скопируйте файл из начальной модификации в другую директорию и перенесите его в новую директорию.
Плагины
Mod Organizer 2 устанавливает модификации так, чтобы понимать, какая модификация должна иметь больший приоритет. При установке двух модификаций, которые изменяют один и тот же плагин, MO2 спросит, какую версию вы хотите использовать.
Если у вас есть две модификации, которые зависят от одного и того же плагина, вы должны решить, какой плагин должен иметь приоритет в вашей нагрузке, в зависимости от того, какие изменения вы считаете важнее.
Итоги
Если даются предупреждения на перезапись файлов, то есть несколько вариантов решения проблемы, которые вам нужно рассмотреть. Выберите тот вариант, который наиболее удобен для вас и вашей ситуации, чтобы обеспечить полную совместимость ваших модификаций.
Решение проблемы перезаписи в Mod Organizer 2 для Skyrim может показаться сложным, но если вы следуете этим лучшим практикам, вы сможете установить свои предпочтения без каких-либо конфликтов и проблем.
