Use the restore backup functionality if you want to restore your setup (when it talks about 0.54 it means 0.53): http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/How_to_restore_or_revert_to_an_NMM_backup Edited January 27, 2015 by DuskDweller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magickingdom Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 In response to post #22097379. #22098609 is also a reply to the same post. I went to the step forum at the time, I don't recall the details, but it was full of warnings about both.(skse and finis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they both work with the new NMM installation method (NMM will also ask you to run FNIS after a profile switch if it is detected). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZjemTwojegoKota Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) New nexus mod manager utilizes hardlinks. But there is one problem with hardlinks in Windows system. In layman words, windows explorer do not "recognize" hardlinks properly while counting files/folders size. So for example, if you extract 1Gb file for a mod to virtual install folder and then you make hardlink for this file in Skyrim folder, explorer will report that 2Gb of space was taken. And if you reach disk/partition limit, you will be not able to write more data (system will not allow you) even if physically 1Gb should be/will be still free... This is huge disadvantage for me (from system point of view) Edited January 27, 2015 by ZjemTwojegoKota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZjemTwojegoKota Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 In response to post #22099534. You can always backup whole Skyrim directory and nexus settings... easy as pie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskDweller Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) In response to post #22104034. Free space reported by explorer is always able to tell real files from links, but when you check the size of a folder by right-clicking and selecting properties it is indeed "bugged" (I think it is working as intended for Microsoft).Eg.: If I install Immersive Armors, both my skyrim data folder and my mods/virtualinstall folder report a size increase of 2,5Gb, for a total of 5Gb; but if I check the free space available on that HD by going into Start Menu - Computer I see it only decreased by 2.5Gb , also trying to install a game through Steam will report a decrease of available space of just 2.5Gb.

As I said checking the folder size won't report the correct info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the info from M$ from 2011 :) Looks like M$ changed something. I tested that out, so shouldn't be a problem anymore. At least from total free space perspective.
