I can't seem to uninstall mods

When I try to remove a mod it says it failed because no deployment method is active.

Did you set up a deployment method?

Staging should be set to the same drive as your game, and the deployment method should be hardlink.

I have set a staging folder. You are talking about designating a folder where the mods are stored right? I did that. Was I supposed to do the experimental hardlink? On the page where you select the path, below it, it says "No deployment method available."

Make sure to press apply after picking the staging folder path. The suggested path should work, and it'll need to be on the same drive as your game install.

After setting a valid staging folder, it should allow you to pick a deployment method.

Yes I did all that. They are both on the sd card the install and the staging folder. I made folder in the root directory of the sd card called it "Moding Utilites" and then another folder in that called it "Skyrim (Vortex)". Skyrim was installed via gaming mode and on the same drive. If you have to install nexus mod manager on the same drive then I don't know how to do that. Since all the choices are made for you when you run the program.

Can you post a few screenshots?

1. Games -> Managed -> click on the kebab to open up game's details
2. Settings -> Mods

If on SD card, 1 should show the game on K:\ and 2 should show the staging directory also on K:.

If that still has issues, maybe checking 'Automatically use suggested path for staging folder' would work.

Ok I figured it out. I set the staging folder on the same SD card the game was on, but not the same drive. I didn't know steam made a separate partition on the SD cards. Thx for your help.
