Wonksters Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Title says it all. It might be a really stupid question but, can you rename the plugins in Skyrim? (nexus mod manager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidzebra Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Sure - I do the same to have some kind of organisation, I really wish there was some kind of category or filter system in NMM. Just click once on a mod name to select a mod, then click again to rename it. I prefix everything with things like "interface - ", "environment - ", "magic - ", "NPC - ", "overhaul -", "WAC - " (for weapons, armor, clothing) just so I know what is what when I have a ton of mods in the list.

Wonksters Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Oh I mean not the mods, the plugin section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidzebra Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Oh I mean not the mods, the plugin section. Ah, misread you there, sorry. Not from within mod manager, it appears. You could rename the esp/esm files yourself but that seems... tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidzebra Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Well that's the tricky thing I was talking about. There's the actual filename of the esp/esm in the /data folder. Then there is the reference to it in appdata\local\plugins.txt - and NMM keeps its own list in loadorder.txt in the same folder. Messing around with all these for what to me seems like little benefit seems, well, tricky :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonksters Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah haha.. after some googling, I feel as if it won't do much good as people say that the plugins are named like that for a purpose and messing with that might screw with other stuff :P Thanks for helping.
