Moksha8088 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 If you do not end up finding that person, maybe you could recreate the look of NMM (most people are familiar with this except the diehard few who insist on a manual transmission - you know who you are: you are wearing a 'no-ease of use' T-shirt) with a wizard app added for the Mod Organizer 3.0 features. A PDF file with a description, examples, and pictures of each feature would be nice as well. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxndr Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I would suggest using Stylus instead of SASS. As far as I know SASS is a C library which doesn't look very beautiful within JavaScript environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnicool1 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Sorry to say, but designing is not my thing. As a programmer I don't have too much creativity for this kinda stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YngvieMalmsteen Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Mod Organizer UI is very intuitive for me. But maybe thats because i discovered the APP via gophers tutorial for it. My friend seemed to learn modding with it pretty quickly though, much faster than he would with NMM as the mistakes he made didnt require him to reinstall his entire game, and he didn't have to start from scratch with the mods either (thanks to MO) Edited March 7, 2017 by YngvieMalmsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomicidalGrouse Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'd love to, but there's probably someone far better for the job than me. I don't even know what Balsamiq or Invisionapp are, and my javascript is basically nill. :/ Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, you can use it just as simply as you would NMM. Edited March 7, 2017 by lued123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it seems likely it'll stick, but there isn't any actual confirmation that I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
