Hey Nexus team, thanks for this. I'm sadly one of the people that does not identify with Vortex; I'd just like to know whether it'd be possible to allow us to choose the manager we want to download with upon clicking the "Download with Manager" button, in the future, instead of just making it no longer compatible with NMM. Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm a noob when it comes to things like this. :-)

The download button is still compatible with all current mod managers, including NMM. They simply changed the text of the message.

Thanks for your answer. My question was aimed at this bit from the original post:

Of course, older versions of these programs will no longer be able to download directly from Nexus Mods after this time, but they will still work for manual mod installations.

Just wondering whether it would be possible to still keep NMM as the "download with manager" manager or if the transition is, indeed, necessary. Edited October 9, 2018 by LSiwora

I see your confusion. That statement is actually referring to the future changes to the Nexus API, which are still a while off. In addition, this will only affect outdated versions of NMM and others. NMM is still being developed and updated on the GitHub, just not by the Nexus staff.

Aaaaaah, that's actually good news! Thanks! I'll keep an eye on GitHub, then. :-)

How do I solve the issue with deployment without using hardlink? My F4 game is installed on an SSD and the mods take about 20GB, i don't wanna use up 20 GB of SSD, plus I don't even have that much left on it anyway.

I want to try the new mod manager, but I'm actually very confused on it. Will it overwrite NMM or can I keep both while I learn how to use Vortex?

Is this gonna force me to reinstall all my mods again? Cause if so then f*#@ that!

By the looks of things, they may be trying to force users to switch to a new mod manager like they did with how the site used to look.

What particularly do you not identify with when it comes to Vortex, if I might ask? Not asking to be rude, I’m just analytical by nature. :)
