Please remember, only install this version of NMM if you're willing to accept the presence of potentially game stopping bugs (until we fix them). Please also remember that the news comments aren't the best place for bug reports! The best place to report bugs is using our Bug Tracker. It's tied to the forums and allows us to converse with you, and others experiencing the issue, so we can fix the issue as soon as possible. Please remember to provide as much information as possible including the steps you took that caused the bug to occur and what operating system you're using! Thanks again guys. As you can see, your help is helping us to make NMM better.

I have what might be a stupid question. What are the chances of getting a second user profile approved just for testing this and being able to keep my present setup under my present name? I know this is strictly forbidden, but I could jump back and forth to troubleshoot mod installation.

I'm confused, why would you need a second user account on the Nexus to do that?

In response to post #10119857. #10119951 is also a reply to the same post.

I'm probably overthinking it. That's why the caveat at the front end. I had assumed I couldn't keep both at the same time. From your answer, that is not the case. I'll figure it out.

Im having a problem with my archive invalidation ever since I logged on and it forced the upgrade.I've ran it as an administrator but it still wont work. I haven't installed any more mods or anything . I was playing for an hour before the upgrade so thats why I think that is the issue.

Please, add the option to change VirtualModActivator directory, i want it to be on my SSD, along Skyrim, instead of on my HDD, where i save all downloaded mods. Edited November 14, 2013 by sonnhy

I haven't downloaded it yet, but i feel i must suggest something that might be not implemented and in my opinion it would be awesome. Does it have a general profile? You know, when you create multiple gameplay profiles like warrior, mage, assassin, etc. some mods are recurring (like for example: landscape textures, or skyui) that would appear in any profile. Then you have the sub-profiles with custom mods for each. :D

 

Great job. Keep up the good work!
