KnightRangersGuild Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Is there any way to transfer all my mods to NMM without redownloading them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flobalob Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If you still have the compressed file that you originally downloaded then the answer is yes. Use the "Add Mod from file" button and browse to the compressed file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them all working perfect together and then I got the update for NMM and it erased all of them for some reason, it may have been something I did wrong but I just know it happened when I got the update. If I must re-download every one then I don't think I will ever update NMM again this is bullshite ! But thanks for your help, any other ideas would be welcome.

Rennn Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I just keep organized folders grouped into categories. For example, I keep one folder that has all my texture mods backed up in the correct places so I can just install that one folder and have all my texture mods installed on a new installation of Skyrim. I keep another folder organized to quick-install all my body mods, and another to install all my companion mods, etc. I just go through the list and use the organized folders to install mods in large groups. I also keep the zipped files of all my mods saved separately in another folder, and I also keep the zipped files backed up on a large flash drive in case something happens to my PC. You might want to organize your mods into group folders, so that you can just install like ten mods with a single folder. That'll save a lot of time with reinstalls, and it'll let you choose more accurately what new mods to get and which ones to get rid of. For example, if you're not sure if a random loot mod would conflict with another mod you have, you could go check the folder containing all of your mods that alter levelled lists instead of paging through all the mods individually. Ofc to do this you need to test the mods thoroughly first to make sure they don't cause bugs, because if you do this and one random mod causes bugs it takes a long time to figure out what's going on.
