Erinaea Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Hi, I am trying to download the Monster Mod V8. I click "install with download manager" and the install comes up with an error at varying points in the install process. It simply states that it cannot install the mod. I am sorry if this is vague but that's all the information that I have. Part 2 - To update mods, I read that you simply had to reinstall the latest version of the mod but when I go to the manager and look at the version number for whatever mod I re-installed it stays the same. Is that a problem on my end or just the download manager? I am new to PC gaming an modding, so please have mercy on my ignorance. Thank you in advance for any help!

JackNitro Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 1) Lots of people have the same problem with using the NMM for some downloads - It just doesn't seem to handle large transfers well. Keep in mind that the manager is very new and still under heavy development. As a workaround when this occurs, download the mod manually. You will then have a .rar or .7z file which you must select using the "add mod from file" button in nmm. From there, install as you typically would. 2) Updating mods can be confusing, because it will leave the original version in your mods list even after you activate the newer version. You will see something like this:http://s7.postimage.org/mthz615fd/10_example.pngJust activate the one with the newer version number. It should give you a prompt about updating; just click "yes" unless the mod author advises you otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
