Big changes for the Nexus Mod Manager and the introduction of Tannin42, our new head of NMM development

[DisgruntledGrillCook]

I can say as one of the newer users of NMM, I welcome the entire project. Don't get me wrong, I love the Nexus; this is truly a great community with loads of content, and many talented folks, but trying to use the NMM is a pain most of the time ( like the crash on overwrite file bug ). I was happy to see a hotfix in place so fast. But this is also my point, since I've been a NMM user I've seen three major updates. So moving forward with new ideas, new faces, and lessons learned I wish you all the luck in the world. I for one will be waiting for the first release of the new software.

 

Thanks for everything so far,

 

An old fart that loves Modded Games

The is awesome Dark0ne!!!

I was so thrilled reading this!! I am very happy that you were able to get Tannin to work in nexus team. I stopped using NMM after two months of use, after seeing a Gopher's video introducing MO.

 

I imagined there was a team behind MO, not just one person. Amazing. Ever since I got Fallout 4 I have been searching on google, now and then, for Fallout 4's MO and now that I read this... Great news!

 

Got a bit concerned over Tannin stop working on MO, but smart as you all look to be, all this decisions will give us one perfect mod manager. Plus I couldn't complain, the only donation I have ever made was to skyrimtuner for Enb RealVision.

 

Gotta reinstal all mods again, probably, but most of mod users already spend a huge amout of time modding their games, that won't make a difference.

 

Nexus team. Always looking to better and improve themselves.

 

Can't wait to see the new NMM!

what is that, a manager?

Although I am stupid, but I have never used a manager.

I am mine own manager, If I make a mistake in the installation, then I am angry with myself.

But if there is an error by the manager, on Whom can I then be angry?

The anger then remains in me and that is not good for health. LOL

Thanks for the update with the good news, looking forward to the future mod manager I'm sure it will be great.

It is a bad solution, the only thing I noticed, I love NMM :D , REN

After actually testing a few months ago, NMM is not robust >_< That is, it lets you run things directly on the skyrim folder instead of launching through NMM, but that's the only advantage. Things made by executables still aren't managed (they are in MO), NMM still needs to "remember" things (MO and Bash both just compare files in the folders, if a file exists in the mod folder, it's managed, not so for NMM even now), it's overall kind of a mess.

(Also NMM is really slow compared to MO, to be fair I was testing it with very large mods and smaller mods probably there would be no difference).

I hope they keep something more similar to MO's system, but keep it simple. No categories. No buggy as hell compatibility/install order checks. No buggy as hell "archive management." Give us an optional plugin to unpack BSAs right into the mod folder (the way MO does now), but make that option even more difficult to turn on. And for the love of god put every file back in the overwrite, instead of thinking you know where it goes! But keep each mod in its own, totally independent folder, and have *all* file operations be done *on that folder* instead of on the base game folder, so *everything* you do stays managed without having to think about it.

To install a mod in MO is exactly the same as in NMM. Double click the download file, activate the mod. Play.

MO just has ton more power.

I am but a lowly NMM user. I do not need anything fancy, but do have one request.....

 

Please for the love of the Gods, make it so the column widths stay where you put them.
