The "Mod Organizer Install Error" is a common error code that occurs when trying to install a mod using the Mod Organizer tool. This error can occur for a number of reasons, but the most common cause is that the Mod Organizer tool is not able to find the correct installation path for the mod. This can happen if the mod was installed to a different location than the Mod Organizer tool is expecting, or if the mod was installed using a different method than the Mod Organizer tool is expecting. In some cases, it may also be caused by a corrupt or missing installation file for the mod.
