I bought Skyrim off of Steam and use mods by subscribing to them using the Skyrim Nexus Mod Manager. However, neither the mod manager nor any of the Nexus mods or files I've downloaded are working.
I signed up, installed the mod manager, and made an attempt to download a mod. It shows on my screen as downloaded, but it will not open: the mod manager reports an error incorrectly indicating Skyrim is not installed on my laptop.
Nexus Mod Manager Won't Launch
I uninstalled and tried again, but now it says 'Unable to get write permission.'
How can I fix this problem?

First things first before I get to the advice: Nexus Mod Manager is beta software. If you're experiencing problems with it, consider reporting the problem so that the coders and other users on the official beta feedback forum can read about it and any bugs can be fixed. If there are installation problems, they'll want to know about it and it's more likely to be fixed there than by asking here.
In the meantime, it might help to know that a mod manager is optional—you can install mods without ever touching Nexus Mod Manager. Since it's beta-quality software and you've probably just run into a bug, I'd advise learning how to cut out the middleware and install mods manually. Most mods are simple and it's just a matter of putting the right files in the right place.
Here's the simplified overview of how to install a mod manually:
If you want to read that all again using different words (which sometimes helps immensely in figuring this stuff out), there's a short article on the Nexus Wiki: How to install Skyrim mods. Manual installation is covered in item (8).
Finally, the Nexus forums and official Bethsoft Skyrim forums are very helpful when you run into trouble.

'Scan games' and manually type your directory. Most likely the directory you are looking for is: C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscommonSkyrim . I had the same issue as you, but once I did that it worked.

Are you running steam and any other associated neccesary programs as an administrator? It sounds like your issue may rest with readwrite privileges. (right click and run as administrator)

You just need to right click on the Nexus icon and click ' Run as Administrator' also make sure Nexus isn't saved in Program Files. Drag the nexus folder to your desktop or something.

Fallout Mod Manager is a tool used to manage your load order and install mods correctly.

Once FOMM is installed all you have to do to install a .FOMOD file is double click the .FOMOD file in its directory, go to package manager in FOMM and click the mods name on the list and the click activate.
The mod may or may not open a custom installer which should have instructions on how to configure the mod to your liking.
