Something has caused your profile file to become corrupted. Please send the files you have in your Mod Manager profiles folder here so we can try to find out what went wrong. It may be possible to recover your profiles, but if not, you will have to delete them.
You can try to find out what mods the profile used to have in a few ways:
- Your save file keeps track of the mods you were using. Loading it while missing mods will produce a warning message and messages in the game's log files.
- Mod manager log files may mention the names of mods you were downloading

failedtoinitializeprofiles triggered by @K.C.mod manager wont even open
Try restarting your PC
did that
@Mircea (Area Actions) Sorry to bother you, could you please take a look into this? Thanks
please follow the instructions given to you by the bot
you do not need to open SMM to do so
I have done that
the bot has not helped
you have not done as it has asked
so of course it won't have helped yet
i sent my log files and it said the same thing again
that's not what it asked for
there are not any files available thats the thing
none at all in the profiles directory?
none
any hidden files? you can see them using the settings in file explorer
files as in what exactly ma'am
files as in files
nothing for satisfactory
View hidden files and folders in Windows - Microsoft Support
Learn how to show hidden files, folders, and drives in Windows.
where are you looking?
Programs, all 3 drives, desktop, One Drive, App data
did you look in the paths provided to you in the first link in the bot message?
because just random top level folders are not those
okay give me one second
Windows cant find anything relating to the paths
did you paste
%appdata%\ficsit\profiles.json into the address bar?
or just %appdata%\ficsiti did both and windows + R
so there is no ficsit directory in any of the subdirectories of appdata? (local, roaming, etc)
none thats the thing
it doesnt make sense to me
its just an empty notepad
notepad? what do you mean?
it loaded an empty note pad thats it whenevr i search those its an empty Profiles JSON notepad
ok so
the file exists, which would have been important
it's just empty
Solution
go here and delete profiles.json
it's empty anyway so there's nothing more to lose
okay done what about the installations file
sorry to be a pain in the ass
if it's empty too, delete it
then attempt to relaunch SMM
okay thank you ill get back to you in a second
it worked thank you
