The first issue was that Nexus didn’t automatically detect my blade and sorcery file so I had to manually locate it. I tried numerous locations including the location listed in a modding tutorial video and each time Nexus said that it was unable to find the tool to start B&S. For clarification I do have mods installed in game and while I understand that performance would be effected by the ones installed through the game I want to make sure that that’s one of the issues before taking the time and painstakingly deleting every one. Unless it’s possible to delete the mods from the files in which case it would be a lot easier on me.

Tl;dr Nexus could not find my blade and sorcery file and no matter where I manually put it Nexus insisted that it was unable to find the tool to start the game.
