MerionLial Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 So far I use the Steam Workshop for mods and am quite ok with that. But there are a few mods that are nexus exclusive that I'd really like to use. At the same time, I don't want to lose my mods that are steam exclusive, thus my question.Can I mix them up and use both? If so, how do I go about it? Thanks in advance!
gamevsreality Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 You can use steam and nexus mods at the same time. The only problem will be mods that conflict with each other but thats a risk with all mods you download.
MerionLial Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 So I get that nexus mod manger and start from there, correct? I guess it recognizes the already existing mods?! *sorry for being a total noob just now*
Xezcente Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Yes, NMM recognizes plugins installed. You can even manage your load order from there.
mikeprok17 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I use both Nexus and Steam workshop without any problems. I have started using NMM and its has made controlling the mod order very convienient. Mike
Vulon Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I've used both, as well. But I rely on Nexus for over 90% of the mods I download and install. I like the simplicity of the workshop, and while the subscription idea is nice, it can also be troublesome when changes are made to your load order and mods you might have forgotten about or neglected to unsubscribe from are suddenly updated, running the risk of conflicting with your existing content. I've gotten a number of CTDs or conflicts before simply because I forgot I was subscribed to something and it suddenly appeared in my load order, often in an inconvenient spot that disrupted mods that were required to load in a certain order. Though more time-consuming, updating mods manually through NMM and maintaining a proper load order is a better bet for stability in the long run.
crisxahia Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 hi guys.. sorry to bring this up again.. I started using the NMM and steam workshop.. when I open nmm I immediately downloaded and installed some mods that steam does not have.hovever when I installed it.. it does not show under plugins.. does that mean it will not be included along with the steam mods I have already??
