ipman98 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 After using NMM for few months & because of obvious issues in it, I moved to MO. Now, since I already have archives of all the mods I downloaded using NMM, I can easily add them to MO. But the problem is every time I do this, I have to set Nexus Mod ID for that specific mod manually. Also, I have to change version numbers properly to get future updates. But the problem is, I have over 200 mods & it's not possible to manually edit all of their data. So, I there any method, or plugin I can use to do this automatically?. Is there any way to auto download all of my mod details to MO, without setting Nexus IDs manually?. I hope there is a way. Maybe a plugin based on checksums to detect mod name & version I have?

Skagens Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Unfortunately, I think you'll have to manually update the information because MO can't do this automatically. The reason is because sometimes authors have several versions of the same mod and MO needs to know which version you're using so that once that version gets an update, MO can notify you. If you don't want to spend the amount of time to re-download the mods then you can always leave them be and check the mod pages manually from time to time if there are any updates available.

strawbqwerty Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If your mods are from Nexus SE you could possibly get some info when you install. If you have placed your mod archive in the mod organizer down load folder. Then when you go to install the mod you get the option to query the mod details. Unfortunately mod organizer takes a guess at the mod id. So you get at best two options. If you pick the wright one it checks with Nexus and updates the mod details. Not a big problem if you pick the wrong one. Just wipe your hard drive and start again (OK maybe not :smile: ) Actually you just have to delete the meta data in the Mods install folder and reinstall the mod choosing the other option. Just reinstalling the mod does not work as mod organizer reads the meta data file regardless which id option you choose. Normally I have found that one option is a single id number like number one and the wright one is a several digit id. You can also check on Nexus and get the mod id and at the time of install update the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawbqwerty Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Yep, just tried it then. Go to in stall the mod. When you select query information and it gives you the two possible options hit cancel. A pop up window will ask you to manually install the mod id. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
