Question about managing mods

Recommended Posts

Before I had the NMM, I installed a few Skyrim mods manually. Now that I have the NMM, managing everything had become a lot easier. Is there any way for my manually installed mods to appear in my mods list in the NMM so I can have everything in one place?

This is not hard provided that your manually installed mods came packaged in a way that NMM understands. That would be either a zip, rar or 7z file with an internal folder tree that starts at, or just under "data". In other words, something that you could extract into Skyrim's data folder.

 

Use the green plus "+" in the upper left to "Add mod from file", browse to the archive and select it. NMM will process the contents (may take a while if it is big).

 

Finally, select the green check-mark to install and activate. If will go through the formality of overwriting the manually installed files with identical contents.

 

When finished your mod is now under NMM management.
