Hey, I'm a little uncertain about Mod Organizer. I'm sure someone else has already asked, but I can't Find the questions and/or answers. Will there be some way to keep the mods for Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition seperate? Will you be able to launch Skyrims Special Editions's script extender from Mod Organizer apart form SKSE? Will I need to reinstall Mod Organizer? Hopefully someone can help me clear up some confusion on this. BTW, I'm super pumped up for the release in two days!! :happy:

But the advantages of a 64-bit version - personally - do not even come close to swaying me back to the current version of NMM.

My setup is gorgeous, stable and buttery for hours on end - and I know EXACTLY how I made it that way - with the help of MO. I also remember the constant headaches of mod builds prior to MO coming on the scene - and honestly - this upgrade would really be a downgrade for my own experience if I had to settle for NMM.

MO/MO2 has for the moment been shelved as Tannin is now working with the team on developing NMM. That can only be a good thing if Tannin is able to bring some of the awesome features of MO to NMM, but only time will tell if that is the case. The same applies to whether or not Tannin will be able to devote time to developing MO2 again.

There is no reason to not try NMM for Skyrim SE while still having MO installed. You will have to install mods separately for the new 64 bit Skyrim anyway, in a separate folder to the old Skyrim allowing you to keep mods separate.

And when/if NMM is updated with MO-style priority handling - then the switch will be worth it.

The fact that it does not currently have the means to do so adequately is a damn good reason not to use it - especially if you are comfortable and confident with your current build.

Oh well. So much for my plans! Being an idiot I will try to use MO on SSE. After all, I need my fix of CTDs... Lol. Edited October 27, 2016 by BlueGunk

The Force became a religion. Perhaps Skyrim Modding should be one, too? In game, pray at the Altar of the Divine Modder to heal your wounds and cure your diseases, and stave off the next CTD for five more minutes.

I've been reading that old Skyrim mods will still work with the SE version. Is this true and if so, I assume we can still use the NMM for the old and new mods?

 

Thanks!

See my reply on pg.2, and Arthmoor's response. On NMM, that's probably not a good assumption until the update is issued. Edited October 27, 2016 by DownBeatBeatDown
