javikrules Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I have about 150 Skyrim mods in Vortex on a playthru. I want to clone that profile to a new profile and start a new game. But of those mods, 39 of them have MCM settings that I've fiddled with. Is there a way to copy over the existing MCM settings so I don't have to do it all myself on new playthru?

IsharaMeradin Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Unless those mods allow you to save the settings in a external file that you could ensure gets copied over to the new profile, not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadeybladey Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I wish someone could make some way of saving the settings, as fiddling with them all again for a new character is such a pain in the butt. I recall someone saying you can save some things for some mods with (IIRC) FINIS, but I really don't remember any more than that. A utility that allows exporting and saving MCM configurations would be SO useful. Couldn't the SkyUI team come up with something? Anything? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, every MCM is different and unique to the mod. If source code is provided, you can maybe edit mod's MCM's to save and load their settings to an external file, using FISS or PapyrusUtil, or better yet asking the mod authors themselves if they can add that feature.

Aye, FISS I meant, not FINIS! :D Weird. It seems to me that the MCM settings for each mod are not much more than a series of check boxes and number sliders. That seems pretty much like hard, crunchy data that should be exportable/importable via a 3rd party mod configurator. Maybe that's what FISS does. I have no idea how to do it myself, but I know there are still active modders and Coder Uber-Geeks vastly more clever than me.

Fancy giving it a go? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
