VeryNaughtyBoy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi, quick question I couldn't find an answer to in the forum, I'm trying to use NMM for modding Oblivion and was wandering if NMM can use the omod_conversion info's as they are very often used? I know it's supposed to know what to do with ".omod" files thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 No. Do not use NMM for OMOD files. They are designed exclusively for Oblivion Mod Manager, NOT Nexus Mod Manager. A great many of them have complex installation scripts to get the mod installed correctly. Heck, NMM hardly knows what to do with a great deal of non-OMOD files.

DrakeTheDragon Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't know. They stated in one of the recent release notes that there's now better support for OMODs in the NMM, but I wasn't able to give it a try myself so far. Last time I tried the NMM, which admittedly was a year back or more, on installing a mod of mine with "omod conversion data" included (silly me made all his mods OMOD-ready back then) it detected the scripts inside there and tried interpreting them, only to throw an error and abort because it didn't recognize an OMOD function call. Silly thing... what did it expect to find inside a folder named "OMOD conversion data"? FOMOD scripts?! So unless this has been fixed I have to keep the "download with manager" button disabled for all my current files (silly me...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephenee13 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 NMM is not recommended at all for Oblivion Modding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobaixu Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Has this changed since the Original Post? I know the Nexus sites have all been merged now. Is NMM now supporting Omod's ? .. I ask because i just bought the full goty edition via steam, and all the mods seem to be omod's, but I mainly use NMM for skyrim and fallout and it detects oblivion as well...

It /should/ be fine with anything that just is packed files for dropping in the Data folder, mods with non-Oblivion standard file structure and complex installation scripts might screw up.
