i found out i had no plugins and no mods

i cant believe this... i had mods that were long gone from the internet

You mean your NMM updated to v0.50.3 and suddenly forgot all your mods?

 

Check on:

 

C:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Skyrim\Mods (That's the standard folder)

 

To see if your mods are there.

THANKS

any idea how i can force nmm to automatically add them on my mods category again without me manually installing them?

more than 300mods so im pretty lazy

I'm glad it helped.

 

About the "automatically adding them back" part however.... I might have bad news.

 

You see, the installation information is stored in this folder here:

 

C:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Skyrim\Install Info

 

If you had a backup of this folder elsewhere, you would be able to paste your backup there, and Nexus Mod Manager would "relearn" your install organization. But from what I understand, Your NMM is either ignoring the information contained in that folder, or it outright erased all the information from there.

 

So I really don't know what you could do to speed up your installation chores.

 

For future reference, I suggest keeping a backup of your skyrim (and NMM folders) elsewhere (Ideally on an external hard drive) . Just in case this sort of nasty thing happens.
