my problem is a little different. so i'm new to nexus and I am trying to download my first mod. i have used the steam workshop, but i wanted more variety. so when i click on a mod i want to download it gives me two options."DOWNLOAD (NMM) and DOWNLOAD(MANUAL). now i know than manual is the long way and i'm thinking that the (NMM) option is the fast way and the videos that i watched are just out of date so to make a short story long should i click (NMM) or try and do it manually? -DaSpcFish
