This is extremely exciting!

Having really annoying issues with NMM recently. First off the manager wouldn't log in, but that was fixed. However, downloading with the mod manager leaves the mod in a constant 'downloading' phase, yet makes no progress whatsoever.

First of all a very good move, I love Tannins42 MO.

The best solution in my humble opinion would be: Dump NMM where it´s belong to... into the garbage, and continue MO2 under the Label of Nexus.

After all you can´t build something good on a broken Foundation.

Looking forward to see, If you will succeed in - "convenient" aka "more advanced modders"

I personally never happened to see a piece of software which could close this gap. Good luck with your dream :)

NMM has been working fine. If the SE version of Skyrim doesn't support BSAs then there's gonna be a problems with mods like Falskaar with over 19000 files in it. Hopefully they just update the engine so SKSE and SkyUI will continue to work. I've never had much luck using Mod Manager. Too complicated for a 90 plus year old but I doubt I'll be around long enough to enjoy the newer games you younguns will get to see. As for everything I've put up I will be returning my login to my grandson with the hopes that he will continue to enjoy the game.

good news ! keep up the good work :)

But no, I cannot say I love NMM. It has over reached and caused much pain with its useless multi profile features. And I nver had a problem report acknoledged.

I am grateful for Nexus. And for NMM. But it needs to now its limits and stop trying to uninstall and reinstall 240 mods to change profiles. Here is my nexus site full of horror stories:

Can't wait to see the new manager/organiser and don't care what it's called. Here's to all the other "Silver Gamers" out there............Keep up the good work, after all "Age is only a number"!

Tannin probably won't see this but I dropped $50 into his paypal years ago - more than I paid for skyrim. I was one of those who feared that he'd hit the dreaded project killing bug when his commits to MO2 dried up in July.

Kudos to Nexus for paying him a lot more than I can!

I have used NMM since the release of Skyrim and love its simplicity. Looking forward to the new one.

I'm going to be 60 in May of 2017 and female. So yeah, there a lots of us. I always was looked at by my kids friends and the weird mom who games like a kid.

I still have OBMM and FOMM from Timeslip on my older secondary gaming computer and I still use Wrye Bash on all my computers in various versions depending on my game. All along with NMM in 2 flavors. I have 5.6 installed on my older gamer because it works for a heavily modded Oblivion install that I have no intention of reinstalling and also for another earlier install of Skyrim.

I use NMM 6.3 for F04 and 5.6 for Skyrim on my newer gamer for same reasons as above.

I am a bit crazy because I use both NMM and Wrye for F04 management. I can't help it old habits die hard with this old gal. There was nothing so wonderful as a heavily modded Obilvion using Wrye bashed patch and challenging the 255 limits. Gee do I miss tlhe simplicity of that. Right click-merge. CBash was my friend.

Never used MO, but it did have interesting promise.

Now if NMM could also show us like in Wrye the installers screen with information on the mod installation itself, well I would be jumping up and down. NMM needs this for mod triaging when crap goes sideways. I like seeing the files with folder structure. Yeah, call me old gal, but it works. Oh, Yeah a saves tab too, need this.

66 for me. I keep telling myself that I should learn how to make mods, but I seem to be far better at using them than creating them. So far at least.

Damn, there's a lot of us old farts modding Skyrim, Bethesda in general. I am 56 and having a great time with games, thanks to ALL the mod builders! I am so happy, they keep the game fresh for me. Over 2500 hours and loving it.
Thanks NMM.
