thenutcrack Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Theres so many mod mangers for oblivion! But as i understand the most updated and renovated one wud be the Nexus mod manager right? And theres even a download link on the top right of the TESNexus so is that like an obvious answer that thats the reccomended manager to use? Is the NMM the most compatible and successful manager to use with oblvion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonger Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Is the NMM the most compatible and successful manager to use with oblvion?Wrye Bash.I use both for different tasks NMM for installing and removing mods Wrye for running BOSS, building the Bashed Patch, safety checking for missing masters - and once in a while for the actual tweaking of load order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephenee13 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wrye Bash is much, much better for installing mods. No other mod manager has functionality even approaching that of BAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then when i want to install something like this 'Modular Beautiful People 2ch-Edition v1.4a Full (MBP)' http://oblivion.forum.jpmod.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=130 what manager should i be using?

I read somewhere that installing more complex mods like this give mutiple issues with the likes of NMM. The best way to install Modular Beautiful People is using Wrye Bash. You'll have to convert the OMOD portions to archives, and make sure everything is set up properly for BAIN, but once you get them set up, you can drop them into the Bash Installer's folder, arrange the various components to install in the correct order, and you will know for sure that it worked right. Wrye Bash and BAIN is just so completely superior to how OBMM and NMM do things that I can't believe people don't want to use it. Its terrifying how little information those programs give you, and how easy it is to completely screw things up with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that installing more complex mods like this give mutiple issues with the likes of NMM.NMM was tuned to handle the very interestingly coded OMOD for installing Marts Monster Mod that omod gave the NMM designer headaches so any mod that can be installed by any mod manager should be installable with NMM with the exception of a few known mods that simply can't be installed by ANY mod manager without external conditioning before installing then the same external conditioning can be used to install it through NMM An-Arane Cey - Lost Sword of the Ayleids -> being an example of a mod that needs to be massaged before installing.

Jumbotron Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) I can only tell about Oblivion Mod Manager and Wrye Bash. I started using OBMM, but then I moved to Wrye Bash and I still am using it as my main mod manager. The only bad thing about WB is that quite often you'll have to make BAIN-friendly packages of the mods you download, but to be honest, I don't find that task annoying at all. I've never used NMM, so I can't say anything about it. EDIT: Some bad grammar. Edited March 4, 2012 by Jumbotron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
