ripple Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1334 I am really curious. Aside from the fact that 1) people might not have heard of it; 2) it might be a pain to migrate to MO, for people who have installed their mods via NMM before they found out about MO. I've been using MO for a month now. It is clearly the 'next step' to mod management. Mods are kept completely isolated from each other -> no more messy data directory (1) For me, this is pretty much -the- reason to use MO over NMM. No file is ever 'overwritten', and MO actually displays files that 'override' each other. 'UN-installation' of a mod amounts to unchecking it in the mod installation list. No need to ever repeatedly un/install to test conflicting mods (e.g. different re-textures for same custom body). So why aren't more people using it, aside from the reasons I listed above?

luthienanarion Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I don't use it because scripted installers run with it cannot detect other installed files (because they do not actually exist). That's reason enough for me. Great concept, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucrilhus Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) NMM seems to work fine with me, so I never really considered changing it. :psyduck: I think I fall under the second category of people in your post xD Edited December 29, 2012 by Sucrilhus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melator Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Craftable Invisible Helmets is one example...if you check the Deadly Dragons box it spits out an angry popup saying you don't have DD installed and selecting this will cause a CTD. I've installed 200+ mods so far through MO and this is the first mod I ran into that did this kind of check though.There's ways around it and as I said..1:200 is pretty good odds considering the benefits you get out of MO.

Ketaroz Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well... On my case... as mostly modder them player... Wrye Bash is a "must" use... But I got a NMM also instaled to test my mods instalations... :P After all.. I would like to listem the real advantages on Mod Manager instead of what happens in data folder... THATS the big deal!?
