Extended Dialogue Interface Mod issues

[Ryusniper10001]

for some reason my XDI has stopped working even after I've updated my F4SE, and all the other mods that use F4SE are working just fine. It keeps saying that the XDI.dll can't be found and gives me this directory path to go and look for it: DATA \ F4SE \ PLUGINS directory, but I don't know what else to do to try and fix this annoying issue; I've already uninstalled and reinstalled XDI but that didn't work at all.

Can someone please help me out in trying to fix this bug.

Which mod manager you are using?

Not much help here but I just get the missing file for xdi.esm when trying to load saves, like yourself everything has been updated as well.

Though when you check is the dll actually there?

So, not the issue I expected it to be.

NMM is buggy. Manual installation might solve the issue.

Other option is that file is set as Read Only. Right click the DLL-ile and make sure it is not set as "Read Only" by Windows.

If it was and problem continues, then it is possible that Windows keeps setting it as Read Only for some reason. Some security application might also be blocking it.

The things that're inside the Plugins folder is as follows:
[Folder] F4EE
f4ee.dll
f4ee [config settings]
mcm [symlink]
place.dll
place_example [config settings]
place_ini_help [text Doc]

these are the only things that're listed inside of the Plugins folder, so no I don't see the DLL file for the XDI :(

thanks for letting me know that NMM was bugging out and was the issue, I did what you said and manually installed the mod and that fixed all of the issues, THANK YOU!

Good to hear that you got this sorted out.

NMM is no longer officially supported by Nexus. It is breathing on community support, but this is exactly the sort of issue they haven't managed to solve. NMM was derived from old Fallout mod manager. Code is old and badly tangled. Nexus abandoned the application and will officially move to Vortex within weeks rather than months (estimate from staff comments in Discord.)

People are moving to use either Vortex or Mod Organizer 2. I am using latter. NMM can bug out with mod installations and it can sometimes be hard to figure out which file is failing. :/

thanks for letting me know. I guess for the time being until I get some more games that I can mod that I haven't already installed through via the NMM I'll just have to continue using the NMM because for me to try and convert all the mods from one organizer to another would be a huge pain in my ass, especially since I've got over 100s of mods for multitude of games already.
