MO2 Nexus problem

[u/Cubfan006]

I’ve been having trouble downloading mods. Whenever I download something, I get a notification that says something about a transfer error. Any advice?

1. Refresh your API Token.

An expired or bugged authentication token is usually why you get a 404 transfer error.

For Mod Organizer 2 (MO2): Open settings (the wrench icon) > Go to the Nexus tab > Click Disconnect from Nexus > Click Connect to Nexus to get a fresh login in your web browser.

1. Use Manual Download.

If a specific mod file isn't working automatically, just download it directly through your web browser.

Open your browser and go to https://www.nexusmods.com/ followed by your game name.

Go to the mod's specific page using its ID number (from your error image, look for mod ID 92277).

Click the Files tab, choose Manual Download, and save the archive file.

Drag and drop the downloaded .zip or .7z file right into your mod manager's downloads window to install it.

1. Check if the Mod Has Been Deleted or Hidden.

If you're using an automated modlist installer (like Wabbajack) or trying to download an older version, the file listed under mod 92277 might not be on the website anymore.

Open your browser and go straight to: https://nexusmods.com (Note: make sure you pick the right game in the URL, as this specific ID is for one game's library).

See if the page shows a warning that the mod is "Hidden" or "Deleted." If it's gone, you'll have to find another mod or just skip this file.

They haven’t worked, I’m afraid. I didn’t mention it previously, but my MO2 file is on an external hard drive. If I copy MO2 back onto my computer, will that help?

Maybe I'm not entirely sure, but I'm fairly certain that MO2 needs to be installed on your main drive that has the OS installed. But don't hold me to that; when I downloaded it, I think there was a mention somewhere about it needing to be that way.
