Mod Organizer - Method to auto download mod details for mods installed manually from archives


ipman98

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.
