Multi-Scripted installers which include a Wizard.txt ( For Wrye Bash users ) in the root of the archive, AND a FOMod folder, and the usual array of xml's within ..

.. Will those still work as they do with NMM and MO - wizard.txt will be ignored and the FOMod scripting would take charge of the installation, to ensure compatability with mods existing out there from authors who may have left the scene

Ooh just rememberred someone who's experience may be helpful, and still active :

monpetitbeurre who did OBMMex ( A more reliable version of OBMM which was less inclined to lose track of the granular detail of loose file installations like the original OBMM was on rare occasions )

May be worth looking up if you have any historical questions regarding the OBMM pedigree of mod managers Edited October 14, 2016 by Guest

This is good news. I had always used NMM in the past and now I am looking forward to see what the new team will concoct for us all.

Then you really only need MO, instead of the outdated, constantly malfunctioning, and slow NMM.

Will there still be (or the potential to retain) the ability (from MO) to view individual files that are being overwritten by others mods so that you can easily skim through them (each mod) and hide particular files from each mod?

ex: 1 texture from this mod (hide), 1 mesh from that mod(hide), so on... ?

One thing that I loved about M.O. was if I installed different texture mods I didn't have to worry about loosing the pieces of one that is already installed when installing new mods that overwrite parts of them. I could click a button and have a file from any mod at any time hidden or activated.

Excellent news! I often found that NMM lacked some of the things I liked in Mod Organizer and vice versa. Maybe now you guys will be able to make something that has the best of both worlds? NMM's easy to understand and use layout, and Mod Organizers near godlike control over the mods you use. I am definitely looking forward to this.

If I'm right NMM supports about 21 games and most of those games don't really have a huge mod database. For me, the only games that worth modding are beth games except for Sweetfx/ENB/Reshades which actually don't require a MM. I, however play witcher with a ouple of mods, manual installation for those is actually easy.

Thank god. NMM while constantly improving is not exactly a good, reasonably bug free program. It'll be nice to see a lot of these hickups addressed.

Yummie! :woot: MO's power combined with NMM's flexibility will be awesome! Thanks guys :)
