Mattiewagg Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 NMM has more game compatibility than MO. Meaning it works with a far wider range than MO. MO is more "sleek" and professional but NMM is indeed receiving updates like Profiling, is simpler to use (though for mod users MO is not that hard to use), etc. NMM is still in beta, MO is not. NMM is pretty stable though. Use whichever you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broodex Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Personally, I started with and it worked fine to start. However, cnce I really got in to things NMM gave me nothing but problems. I've got a top notch pc that can overkill anything on the market atm so needless to say my list of active mods can get a little... intense... In regards to how many I have running. NMM seemed to screw up all over the place once I got over like 70+ mods... which was just the start for me at the time. After a bit I decided to get MO and I've never looked back. My mod list is insane atm and I've never had even the smallest problem with anything since the switch. MO>NMM 100% in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev11 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The isolated mod installs from the game folder make MO a thousand times better than other mod managers, its incredibly easy to see conflicts and try out mods (installing/uninstalling/enabling/disabling).As for mod compatability, I've not had a single problem, and for mods that dont like MO, just install them manually to the skyrim folder if you must imo.I never cared for NMM and was a long time Wrye Bash user, switched and am never looking back.

bben46 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Better for what?NMM is intended for the neophyte mod user that just wants to click & go - MO is targeted for more experienced users that already have an idea of how mods actually work and want to do more than just install & run the mods. MO has more features, but supports fewer games (4 vs 17) - NMM will be adding even more games - and features - as time goes on. But those features will be designed so they do not detract from the basic simplistic concept of click & go. The next major release of NMM is supposed to support better mod isolation & profiles. As for MO - I am sure they will be adding more features. I'm not sure if they can add more games or not - I hope so. Not every mod can be installed using NMM - or MO. Some will still need to be installed manually for one reason or another no matter which one you use. There are other mod managers - these two are just the most popular right now. Most other mod managers are limited to a single game or just a very few - and will have varying amounts of features and difficulty of use. The base choice is simplicity vs features - it's really a matter of preference. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
