When modding games using the Nexus Mod Manager website, is there a way I can set the "download manually" button to install to a specific folde

(r was the last letter of the title)



I don't want to change my download destination entirely, just a mod's destination when selecting the "download manually" option on the Nexus Mod Manager website. I'd imagine there's some tool out there that'll let me do this, although I'm not sure what to look for... =/



The reason why I am asking this is because I have a "My Mods" folder that I want to use for every mod instead of cluttering up my downloads folder, but I don't want to have to keep dragging all the mods every time I download a new batch.

Yes, you can change your download destination. It has nothing to do with Nexus mods and more to do with your browser, you'll have to google instructions on how to change your download directory and set it to ask you what location to use before starting any download. This way directory is still set but if you want to move only certain downloads to a different location you always have the option to do so.

In most browsers there is an option to set where your downloads go. And an option to always ask where to put them. By using the always ask, it will typically suggest the last place you used. And give the option of changing to somewhere else. How to set this will vary based on your browser.

 

I prefer manual downloading as that gives me more control of where mods are. Then I can use whatever manager I want to install the mod. Or even manual installation. I use OBMM for Oblivion ( as that is what I have been using for years) and NMM for most other games that it supports.
