so when i want to install mods for fomm in the package manager the mods dont install they prepare but they wont install and im not sure what to do

Make sure your temp folder is clean. Use CCleaner or something. Often times the cause of FOMM not working is there isn't any space for it to work on the files as it is processing them for installation.

where is the temp folder located
edit found it but what do i do in it

Purge it of its contents.

Or use like @"ritualclarity" suggested the CCleaner. There's also a portable version of it that doesn't need to be installed.

If you found it just select all and delete. It replenishes items and as far as I know shouldn't harm anything. Anything that is needed to be there should be auto generated again if needed. I don't use manual I use CCleaner or other similar programs.

I had this problem when I was installing EVE. I found it was my windows defender anti virus. What I did was disable anti virus and install the mod. Just remember to re-enable the anti virus! I hope this helps. Please ask if this doesn't. I (and probably everyone here) absolutely hates it when things don't work. So I always try to help
