How do I activate a plugin without using NMM?

[fore]

I hardly dare to ask. But after an hour of google finding no reference at all I must be overlooking something badly.

 

I'm porting my own mods to SSE, so I don't want to use NMM just to test that. But how do I activate my esp? Freshly created with the SSE XCK, of course.

 

In the old Skyrim there was the "Data Files" option in the Launcher. But with SSE there is nothing.

bsa and esp go to your data folder just like old skyrim

start your game till you get main menu, pick mods/load order your esp will show there activate it and done

Oh. :rolleyes:

 

I had seen that, but I could not believe I have to login to Bethesda.net every time I only activate or move a plugin. What an overkill.

 

Thanks.

no you don't have to login you can skip that part just click mod/load order, the login is only needed when you wana dl mods from beth

The new version of Wrye Bash is a good alternative to manage your mods if you don't want to use NMM.

My question was not about managing my mods. I will use NMM again for that. I was gonna port FNIS Spells. And when you create or port a new mod. you don't have anything to manage yet. And I was too stubborn to believe that manually activating a plugin was hidden behind a Bethesda.net login. :)
