- Release


Q: I experience a CTD when scrolling through the forging Menu.
A: This issue is caused by your Graphics setup overloading. Try setting iTexMipMapSkip=1 under [Display] in your SkyrimPrefs.ini file or adding the line if it's not there.

Q: I have the following NMM error:
Failure
A problem occurred during install
..."system.outofmemoryexception"...
The mod was not installed
A: This error has nothing to do with my mod. This is an error thrown by NMM 32bit for all large files.
For 32bit NMM users, I suggest a manual install. My mod is only 2 files. It is easy to keep track of.
Go tell the Nexus staff to fix this. The best way to be heard is to speak.

Q: The download for this file on Nexus Mod Manager keeps stopping before it's finished! Help!
A: This is a problem with the NMM program, and unrelated to this mod. Navigate to C: -> Games -> Skyrim -> mods -> downloads. Delete anything with the name Immersive Weapons found there. Also do the same for the cache folder found under mods. Now download again.
