To clear up corrupted content generated by them. It's hard to explain, it's just something you do in these situations. You may have to reinstall Skyrim, once again it's the price people pay for not heeding posted warnings about instability and risk of use.

Users cannot be blamed solely for their installations being ruined. When the new nmm uninstalled and reinstalled my mods, it left out vital esm files eg climates of tamriel.esm and ETaC.esm. As you know, it is not a case of just uninstalling mods and putting them straight back on. There are dependancies, compatibility patches, and specific install orders eg what to install before and after static mesh improvement. I'm sure most people appreciate the fact that it may be necessary to "do a bit of work" once it finished uninstalling and reinstalling the mods, but not having to reinstall everything, due to problems caused by missing files.

You and your friend herp-a-derped into a clearly labeled minefield and now your angry you got a few limbs blown off. You really have no one to blame but yourselves.

Here's that sign I mentioned: http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/images/110/1-1442505250.png

yes, i did have a moan, but my skyrim is pretty much fixed now. i appreciate all software have their problems, plus this new version is quite an overhaul. some of the new features are very similar to Mod Organiser. Keep up the good work.

Typing this with my nose, due to wandering on to a minefield.

Of course again, new update, huge dissappointement. - Corrupted mod files, reinstalled all my mods and messed up my game completely. Id suggest for the previous version and install EVERYTHING back up again.

You know what might help? Allowing multiple installs of NMM.

 

So I could keep the game I'm currently modding in .56.1 and move all my other NMM compatible games to the new system.

Just quickly tried to do this and it works absolutely fine. Installed a second copy of NMM to a folder called "Nexus Mod Manager 2" instead of "Nexus Mod Manager". Ensured it used completely different folders in the settings as well (else it'll cause serious issues!) and works like a charm. 2 NMM installs on one PC -- easy!

Bear in mind that you shouldn't use two different copies of NMM to manage the same game; that won't work. But if you wanted to use 0.56 to manage Skyrim and previous games, and 0.60 to manage Fallout 4 and other games, that would work absolutely and perfectly fine. Edited September 20, 2015 by Dark0ne

So you just oversight the way people use tools.

You also oversight the signification of 3 words: YES, NO, CANCEL., specifically, the word NO.

You can't just change the definition of that very word because you are lazy to create a specific message box.

 

Not far away, you forced a NMM install from the web site, why not this time?

The autoupdate leave you there without warning.

 

I find this update 100% irresponsible. Sorry to say that.

Glad to hear that. Thank U for instructions.

A couple of mods won't download and has a pop-up box that says, "An exception has occurred in the script." Mainly Daughters of Ares and Fallout Character Overhaul. Other than that, love new look, new buttons, and hard work. Please help and keep up the hard work!

The worst update to anything I have ever seen. The fact that it isn't as simple as reinstalling mods as to get them in the precise order you installed them to include the correct overight such as texture mods is almost impossible to remember. ridicules. Edited September 20, 2015 by psychocyclonus
