ManleySteele Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I sent you a pretty terse DM saying I will join the group if you need or want me. I have downloaded Slack and can proceed at any time. I have some small experience running NMM and at this moment I have a solid 0.61.16 installation managing FO4. I am also using FO4Edit to manage my load order.

What are you using, Windows 98?There's already "replacers" and "add-on" mods the latter are referred to as "stand-alone" mods) but an option to switch between them is extremely difficult (in my opinion) because that would imply that there's a whole string of actions involved that keep this replacement mod from overwriting existing files, and also find a way to at the same time switch-off existing files in a game to use the new files instead of the old ones...@Loxus:Errrm... I'm using Win7 and it "over-writes" folders, yes. Since an OS only overwrites files that are named the same, one can also call it "merging".

xtrasyn Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'd like to see the mod update mechanic improved. The whole manual uninstall thing sometimes annoys me, although I understand why - a certain level of control is wanted - but updating a single mod with a right click or something should not be too hard.

SternbergMD Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 What do you think about removing restrictions on download speed for average users? I think that this shouldn't be limited to paid users, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demands they get is too high to remove this restriction while this is a feature open to premium members. Premium exist so that those you actually use/visit nexus frequently can benefit without restrictions and support nexus. The servers they have to get and maintain cost a lot; with how many people come to this site even outside just downloading mods. This is a community not necessarily just a file hosting site.
