KeplerNEEL Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I don't want it to overwrite my data file, I just want to try it out. Is there a way to download it so it doesn't get added to my skyrim folder? I want to be able to toggle it on/off with MO or NMM. Has it been uploaded like this somewhere online?

IsharaMeradin Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Just let Steam download it, then disable the plugins in whatever mod manager you use. They'll still be there, but they will not load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyacathusarullistad Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Not legally, no. Just download them through Steam. They're free anyway. They also don't overwrite anything - they use .bsa archives just like the vanilla game. You can disable the .esp files - there should be three of them - in NMM just like any other plugin, and the game will be pointed towards the Skyrim.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa, and Dragonorn.bsa archives instead of the HD DLC ones. You should be able to do this in MO too, but it's most likely an unnecessarily complicated in-app process (like everything else in MO).

KeplerNEEL Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks guys. I'll give it a try. Why does the hi res pack seems to have a bit of a bad rap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyacathusarullistad Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Because it isn't "optimised" adequately, people say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
