Current Nexus logo can already be appropriated for this name, it resembles a swirling vortex.

Just hope they add a " Dark" UI option.

Goto Nexus, DL THE VORTEX, and watch in amazement as it swirls ALL your favorite mods into your favorite game! Its so easy, just hit the flush button and when you hear the flushing or swooshing noise, you know it just got modded in. Go and try out VORTEX... TODAY!

I think just Nexus Mod Manager is a fine name, no need to call its NMM2 or anything, Keeps it inline with the site name as well. I saw someone talking about calling it Vortex and I agree its a nice name however, the site is called Nexus so I think it would make sense, unless you wanna call the site Vortexmods as well =P

 

it shouldn't generate any confusion, just have its version number 2.0 so its still called Nexus Mod Manager and I imagine you guys would take the old one down so there shouldn't be any issue.

Why not keep the name? I mean Nexus Mod Manager isn't anything special but at least newcommers will know what it is :smile:

i think it's a similar reason to why BOSS changed to LOOT. the program changed so much it couldnt use it's old name anymore.

How about just NNMM ? new nexus mod manager. abrreviates well . it's simple , still has the word "nexus" in it like someone else suggested. but still differenciate from the old one. Edited February 13, 2017 by BigEffinZed

Farvahar wrote: What I want to be able to do: have a person save their Skyrim configuration in toto and share it with other users as a file; the mod manager would then recreate that experience on my machine without all the hassle that goes with this currently. The manager would download the mods, set them up etc etc so as to create the same Skyrim experience as a mod master would be able to put together.

Their are guides that explain how to recreate an "ideal" Skyrim configuration, but they require far too much attention for novices and more casual players. For folks with little time to play around with all that, it deters from playing the game.

bubinga64 wrote: Im not saying it's impossible, but I wonder just how useful that feature would be unless it was only mods from this site and said configuration didn't have older mods that are now hidden or removed. Also keep in mind that many people tweak mods so you may not get the intended effect.

piperman123 wrote: I can't second this enough, making it so we can share modded games without depriving modders of their downloads would be sweet AF! Would also be a tremendous help with troubleshooting I imagine. Letting more experienced modders or mod authors tweak certain things or quickly produce patches, reproduce and narrow down user issues etc. As for people using tweaked esps, no reason why after the manager downloads that mod it can't copy (or the users can manually share) the tweaked versions or direct each other to mods downloaded from elsewhere which is probably far fewer than those used from here anyway.

Plus I spend weeks messing with mods and it would be great to be able to share some of my 'ultra modded' setups with friends who aren't as experienced or willing to put the time into learning or setting things up but have seen my version of Skyrim and would like to play it too or even help troubleshoot and test things as they play more than I do or while I continue to play about with modding further.

+1 for sure!
