RedGalaxy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Okay, so first let me admit something... I'm very new to the whole skyrim modding scene. Very, Very new... so when you explain how to do something, if you could give a little detail, I'd highly appreciate it. Now to get to my question. I want to start a new game with a specific set of mods, but I don't want to uninstall mods that are linked to my other games. Is there a way to go about doing this without any serious mishaps, or mess ups? (Basically, I want to play a game with SkyRe and maybe one or two weapon/armor mods, but I don't want to delete my previous saves, or lose the mods for them. Is there way so the mods from the two save files don't interact with each other?) PS: If this isn't the right place to ask this, I apologize. I feels like the right place to ask this question, but I could be way off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayfly53 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Some forgotten memory tells me this was planned to be part of the Nexus Mod Manager, but I don't think it is as of right now. The only thing that comes to mind which would accomplish your goal - to swap installed mods for different character profiles, as it were - would be this: SIS, the Skyrim Installation Swapper. I have no experience using it so I cannot help you there, but from what I have heard/ read, it does exactly that, backs up and swaps your game Data folders between other saved profiles, perfect for experimenting with differently modded playthroughs. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGalaxy Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks, that did the trick. (I just have to remember to back up my save files before hand, but that won't be an issue in the long run.) Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaunadaur Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 There's no need to uninstall the mods, you just activate or deactivate them. I really recommend Wrye Bash. It may look a bit confusing at first, but it has some really good functions (some of them you'll probably never need). With Wrye Bash you can install/uninstall mods, activate/deactivate them, run boss or set the load order manually, keep track of your savegames and much more. I'll try to give an overview of the most basic functions: Installers tabHere you can install/uninstall the mods. Just drag the downloaded mod archive into the window and choose to copy or move it. Right-click a mod in the list and choose install/uninstall. Mods tabAll installed mods are listed in this tab. The game will only take notice of the mods that are currently checked. You can also change the load order by dragging the mods up or down. Saves tabThe list of your savegames. Selecting a save will show the mods that were active when you made it, so if you want to play an older save, you can see which mods to activate.

RedGalaxy Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well, that sounds generally easier then SIS. I'll give a look over, though it looks like I might have to re-install my game, which I don't mind doing, if it helps with this issue. Thanks for the suggestion.
