rjnagy70 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Good Morning all question about NMM downloads. I have used NMM forever and a day with out issue. Yesterday however and I haven't been out to the nexus for a while, I logged in and tried to download the Coldhaven Mod. I now get a message in NMM at the bottom saying Cannot Reach Server that either my firewall is blocking or login server is down. I have never ever had this issue before and am wondering if this is due to the new Re-Captcha feature built into the site. Also please don't ask me why I don't use Vortex. I tried Vortex and to me there were just way to many issues and it is not as flexible as NMM. Main issue for me is vortex wants all mod files and game installed to same drive.

Jannifer Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You can keep using NMM just as I have done. However, NMM will no longer connect to the download server, only Vortex will. So, you will have to download your mods manually and then drag/drop them into NMM. It's one extra step, but it allows you to keep using the mod manager you are comfortable with. And before happy Vortex users start commenting, yes, I'm still using NMM. I will keep using NMM. In fact, I'm using the last version of NMM which wrote directly to the Data folder. *listens to collective gasp* I don't like things which get in between me and my file structure. Happy modding in whatever way works for you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnagy70 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hey thanks I'll try that...yeah I went to use Vortex and I keep my mods (the zips) on a separate external because they are quite sizable....which also happens to be a different drive then where SE is installed....apparently Vortex doesn't like that and I get a message saying Vortex won't deploy them.....Never had that issue with NMM.

Baer2x4 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I updated NMM to 0.65.11 with a one click .exe from github. Many thanks to Dark0ne. Unless somethings changed in last few days, mods install as they always did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha8088 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I just downloaded and installed a mod with NMM the other day. If Nexus does switch exclusively to Vortex, it will have a big general announcement in advance. Until then make sure you have the latest NMM from Github. Just remember to click the "download with mod manager button". The button will work with both NMM and Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
