All the folders you need to familiarize your self with are there.

Bernt Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Not quite true. You can still find it on Nexus as an alternative to Vortex. And the community as such still supports it. Links below https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/ https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases Each to his own. I haven't tried Vortex but stick with NMM - and FOMM for FO3. And I've gotten the latest updates from Github.
Deleted54170User Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 It appears you want to know about installing .nif and .dds yourself. Am I correct? My oppologies if I am not getting the fact across I understand that NMM, Vortex, OMM, FOMM all do the honors of installing mods easily. What I meant about NMM is stated by the creator of it; " that they are no longer going to upgrade it. No longer supported meaning the creator has moved along and is indifferent about whether the members of nexusmods dot com support it's already fully functioning ability." I am also getting the idea you plan on making .nif and .dds yourself that you are going make your own Meshes and Textures, which you want to install yourself, you don't need a mod manager. Just drag and copy them from your stored folder where you keep your finished .nif and .dds into the games mesh and texture folders.
