Vortex supports a full migration of your mods from Nexus Mod Manager and Mod Organizer 2. This guide will discuss how to do this and any optional steps to follow after you’ve got set up in Vortex.Importing from NMM has certain limitations and is not recommended for more complex mod setups. Please note the related article: Importing_from_Nexus_Mod_Manager:_Things_to_consider.
Prepare and Install Vortex
Ensure your current Mod Manager isn’t downloading or installing anything and close it. In the case of Mod Organizer, if you want to save files in the overwrite folder ensure you either create a new mod or add them to an existing one.
You should also ensure you have enough Hard Drive storage to duplicate both your installed mods and download folders into Vortex. The migration copies the data and does not remove it from your old manager.
Download Vortex and install it onto your PC. Then login to your Nexus Mods account. On the Games tab of Vortex, ensure the game you are migrating is currently in the “Managed” section. If you haven't set up your current game to be managed, see section titled: 'How do I add a new game to Vortex?'
[[File:]]
Importing your mods
Now you have the current game selected, head to the “Mods” section. Along the toolbar at the top, you will find “Import from…” which will show the import options available.
On the first page of the Import Tool, Vortex will attempt to auto-detect the mod manager you’re importing from. If it can’t find it, or you have more than one version of the mod manager installed, you can change is the mod manager install path.
Step 2 will show a list of currently installed mods in NMM. You can manually change the “Import” drop-down next to each file in order to stop Vortex from adding the mod. Another important checkbox is found at the bottom left - “Import Archives” will pull the original archives for the selected mods. This is highly recommended because you may need to reinstall the mod from its archive if you remove your old mod manager. Archives will be stored in the Vortex download folder, which can be defined before running this tool if required.
At this next stage, it is important you wait patiently for the process to run. If you have a lot of complex mods installed it will take some time. Vortex may appear to freeze when processing big mods.
DO NOT OPEN ANY OTHER MOD MANAGER DURING THIS PROCESS.
Congratulations, you’ve now imported all of your mods into Vortex. There are a few final considerations which are optional from this point, but worth reading if you’re new to Vortex.
Nexus Mod Manager Considerations
This section is optional, but recommended. Removing Nexus Mod Manager will remove all mods for all games managed by the application.
Removing Nexus Mod Manager without breaking Vortex Due to the way Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) handles mods, there are a few extra steps to remove it, to ensure you don’t get any headaches. The safest way to remove your NMM installation without impacting Vortex would be to do the following:
In Vortex, on the “Mods” tab, select all your mods with Ctrl + A. Then using the toolbar at the bottom click “Disable all”. This pulls all Vortex controlled files out of your game folder.
Open Nexus Mod Manager (NMM), and click the 'switch mod manager view' button so you see only your mods and not the categories.
Select all mods with Ctrl + A and press the delete key. Confirm your selection, this will remove the installed mod files and archives from NMM which will release the hard drive space it’s using.
(Optional) Use the NMM tool “Purge Unmanaged files” which will delete any leftover fragments of mods that NMM may have left behind.*
Uninstall Nexus Mod Manager from your system.
Open Vortex and enable the mods you want to use again.
If you use the purge option, this may remove externally installed files such as script extenders, ENBs and Steam Workshop mods. These files will need to be reinstalled if your load order requires them. You may also want to revalidate your game installation if you have problems after completing this step.

I downloaded Skyrim from Steam, and I have a few mods from the Steam Workshop.
I decided to start using the Nexus Mod Manager (0.46.0) only to find that when it scanned my games it showed the error message:
Unable to get write permissions for: C:GamesNexus Mod ManagerSkyrimInstall Info
I believe that I moved the file to the appropriate folder, etc. I'm sorry for being somewhat vague, but I am not computer savvy.
I ran into this problem today, and I've come up with a few solutions. The root cause is that the default folder that Nexus Mod Manager wants to install into is not typically writable by normal users. They want you to install into a subfolder of C:, and if you don't have administrator rights, chances are you can't create the 'Games' folder you need (C:Games).
You've got a few options:
Run the program as administrator. This way, it will have permissions to write to the root of C:, and then you can create the files/folders there. Just right click, and choose the 'Run as Administrator' option.
Get write permission on C:Games. You can do this if you have administrator rights by:
Open your C: in Windows Explorer
If the 'Games' folder does not exist, right click, choose 'New Folder' and name it 'Games'
Right click on the 'Games' folder, and choose 'Properties'
Click the 'Security' tab
Click the 'Edit' button
Click the 'Add' button
Type your login name (if you log in as 'bobsmith' then you'd type 'bobsmith' here)
Click 'Check Names' and if the name becomes underlined, you did it right! Click OK. If not, double check your login name from step 7.
On the bottom half of the 'Permissions' dialog, click 'Full Control' for the user you just added.
Click OK to dismiss this dialog, and then click OK on the properties dialog.
Now you can write to C:Games, which ought to make NMM happy.
Put your Nexus Mod Manager files somewhere else. If you install to some subdirectory of your home directory, you won't have to worry about permissions and so forth. When the Mod Manager asks you where you want to save the mod files, pick someplace under C:Users(your user name) or C:Documents and Settings(your user name), depending on the version of Windows you're using. You could potentially put this in your Documents folder, but I have 'projects' folder I created in my home directory, which works well for me.
You do not want to set these directories to something under C:Program Files or in the Steam folder, etc. This is a Bad Idea.
If you've already selected the default mod directories, you won't be asked if you want to change them when you get this error. If that's the case, you can edit or delete the config file so that you can pick a new directory.
The config file for Nexus Mod Manager is stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%Black_Tree_Gaming - you can copy and paste this into the address bar of Windows Explorer to go there, or paste it into the 'Run' or 'Search' dialog on the Start menu. Alternatively, from your user's home directory, look for 'AppData' and then 'Local' and then 'Black_Tree_Gaming'
The name of the directories in this folder depend on your version of NMM, but the file you're looking for is user.config. You can delete this file, but you'll lose any other NMM settings (including the location of any games that were scanned previously). You can also edit it with a text editor.
Look for a block that looks like:
The directories here are the ones you'd want to change to some folder you can write to.
Check to see if your user account is listed and has full writing access and check if you are the owner.

There is a detailed explanation of how to do this located here.
I would never run any code/program as administrator (and I would disable UAC)
just to overcome a permissions error such as:
This would also be just like running code as root on linux/mac
The correct remedy for this would be to grant yourself write permissions to 'Games' and all sub-folders (including files) -- also you would want to take ownership of the folders.
The reason why it is a bad idea to run a program as an administrator is because the program (and any dll/library that gets loaded) will have elevated privileges.
While in most cases that won't be an issue, but if someone has modified a dll/library with malicious intent -- then what ever code the library contains will run with elevated privileges [on windows UAC is not adequate enough to prevent it, since it won't catch code loaded from a library].
PS: UAC is designed to make it convenient to execute code with elevated privileges (even if your are not an administrator).This is another attack vector that malicious entities can use to get code to execute on your system (without being an administrator).

Preparation
This video is the second in the Mod Organizer series. Most information from video one will not be repeated here and will assume that you have viewed it, which I suggest you do if you haven’t. For the confident and learned, let’s get into it.
Mod Directories
Here we will prep to free up space on the game drive for those who can afford to.
Before we begin know that mods require a lot of storage, mods are downloaded as archives and Mod Organizer stores archives to a Downloads folder. All mods stored here are displayed on the interface via the Downloads tab. Once we elect to install a mod, whether from the Downloads tab or the Toolbar’s Archive option, the archives contents are unpacked into M.O.’s Mods folder, which are then displayed in the left pane for us to make use of. This leaves us with two versions of the same mod doubling our storage requirements. While I recommend leaving the Mods folder in it’s default location to assure the fastest read speeds, I also recommend to move the Downloads folder to a separate storage drive to save space.
Those with a storage drive:
…select the Settings Icon. Within the General Tab activate the Advanced check-box. To the right of Download Directory select the ellipses. Navigate to your storage drive and in a folder of your choosing establish the new Download Directory location. Select Folder when you are finished.
You can also move the Web Cache Directory if desired. It won’t save a lot of space but it will also not hurt to move it. Just be sure to leave the Mod Directory where it is unless you have sound reasons to do otherwise.
Downloading Mods
Here we will cover the various ways to download mods from Nexumods.com and the Steam Workshop as well as the basic installation steps for each. The different pop-up windows during installation will be covered in the following section.
-Nexusmods.com
DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER: Each mod on Nexus has a Files section, which is where mods are downloaded from. The DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER option, if setup properly in the previous video, will download the mod to M.O.’s Downloads folder. The archive will then be displayed in the Downloads Tab, which you can double-click to install the mod. Once installed the mod will appear at the bottom of the left pane where you can activate it by ticking the check-box and then drag its position anywhere that you like within your Asset Load Order. Load Order will be covered a bit later.
download manually: This option is not only helpful for some but necessary if Mod Organizer and Nexus are having issues linking to each other. Selecting download manually will download the mods archive to your systems default download location. From here we have two choices:
Option 1: Leave the archive where it is. From M.O.’s Toolbar select the Archive option. From the explorer navigate to the mod. Double-click it. One of M.O.’s various install options windows will open. Install the mod accordingly. I prefer to not use this method as it’s easy to lose track of the archive and or accidently delete it.
Option 2: The prefered manual method. Navigate to where the archive was downloaded to. In a second window navigate to Mod Organizer’s Downloads directory. The default location being in the Mod Organizer folder. Open the Downloads folder. Drag the mod archive in question into it. The archive will now appear in the Downloads Tab just as if you used the DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER option. This option can be applied to any mod archive on your system and not just those downloaded from Nexus.
Downloads Tab Note: If you delete a mod from the Downloads Tab the mod will also be deleted from the Downloads folder and in turn from your system. Deleting mod archives is not advised because many mods, at some point, may no longer exist online, may have had older versions of themselves remove that you need to make your current load order work or that you simply prefered… and the list goes on. Delete mods with caution or if you can help it, don’t delete them at all unless you are sure that you will never want them again.
-Steam Workshop
Process
From the Steam application. Expand COMMUNITY. Select Workshop. Search your game. Currently Skyrim is the only 32bit Bethesda game with a Workshop. Once you come across a mod that you want to install, to do so, you have to Subscribe to it.
Once subscribed to a mod RUN the <Game> Launcher from within Mod Organizer. Wait for a synchronization message to appear at the bottom of the menu. Let it complete it’s process. Once complete Exit the launcher. Scroll to the bottom of the left pane. Open the Overwrite folder. Notice that the Steam files are now located here instead of in the game’s Data folder as would be the case if you opened the launcher outside of M.O. Close Overwrite. Right-click Overwrite. Select Create Mod. Name the mod anything that you wish, preferably the mods official name so that you know what it is. Select OK. The mod will appear in the left pane. Activate the check-box and the mod is installed. …but we have one more step.
In the right pane open the Archives tab. Scroll down to see if the activated mod is present. If you find it, assure that the .bsa checkbox for it is activated. Without doing so the mod may not work as intended.
Issues
Issue 1: Launching the <Game> Launcher from within M.O. disables all of my activate plugins. Right-click in the plugins window. Select Enable All.
Issue 2: If you RUN the <Game> Launcher after a Steam mod has been updated the new files will automatically download whether you want them to, or expect them to, or not. If the Steam mod is activated when the launcher is RUN, without warning, it will auto-update all it’s files, deleting the old ones, which can cause all sorts of issues in a current playthrough. If the Steam mod is not activated the updated version of the mod will be placed in the Overwrite folder. In this scenario, even though the old files will still exist, issues can still arise.
What you need to now know about the Overwrite folder is that everything inside of it is always activated at all times and because Overwrite acts as a mod that always has highest priority it will overwrite all matching files in your load order.
To avoid this, after you install a mod from Steam, unsubscribe from it so that it cannot auto-update. Doing this may not be appreciated by the mods author but it’s the only guaranteed way to protect your save file and load order.
Installation Pop-ups
Different mods and different download methods cause various windows to pop-up during installation. Here we will cover what the windows mean and what to do in each situation.
Quick Install: this window opens when installing a mod for the first time that appears to be properly packaged for installation.
Cancel: will cancel the installation
OK: is generally what you want to choose. This allows Mod Organizer to seamlessly install the mod.
Manual: allows you additional installation options. Generally used if you are aware that a mod is packaged improperly; a folder is missing or a file is out of place in the mod structure. The window that you are presented with represents the archives contents exactly how the author packaged them. From here:
You can organize files and folders the same way that you would in windows explorer, by expanding the arrows then dragging and dropping items.
If you deactivate a checkbox, none of the files or folders within it will be installed. Useful is a mod is packaged with multiple options.
If you receive an error message No game data on top level, right click the Data folder with the checkbox next to it and select Set data directory. The error message should change to a Looks good message.
The other right-click options allow you to undo the set directory and to create a new directory, or rather, a new folder to organize things into by dragging and dropping items.
At any point, select OK to install the mod or Cancel to cancel installation.
Improperly Packaged Mods: If installing a mod that M.O. detects as being packaged improperly the Install Mods window will appear. This is the same window that opens when selecting the Manual option from the Quick Install window.
With these mods you will notice the No game data on top level message. As previously mentioned right click the Data folder, the one with the checkbox, and select Set data directory. The error message should change to a Looks good message. If it doesn’t change continue right-clicking the top option in each new window selecting Set data directory until it does. Select OK to install.
Mod Pages w/ Multiple Mods & Updates: some mod pages have multiple archives that can be installed. These could hotfixes, optional file sizes, so on. Also, many mods have updates over time. The important thing to note about this situation is that you have already installed your first mod from a particular page and now you want to download and install another from it. When installing additional files from the same mod page you have a few options.
At the Quick Install window select OK. The Mod Exists window will open. From here you can:
Merge: which is generally what I would suggest to do. This will add all of the contents of the archive being installed to the other mod from the same page that already exists, merging the two mods together as one. If any files are duplicates, generally updates, the files being installed will overwrite the old ones. This also leaves any personal changes that you have made to the mod intact. Think of this as an addition to the mod that already exists.
Replace: generally not recommended unless you have a sound reason to use it. This option will completely delete all files and changes made to the original mod and replace them with only the new archives contents. Think of this as a clean wipe and install of the mod.
Rename: Will allow you to rename the archive that you are currently installing, which will create two separate mods in the left pane for your to prioritize.
Cancel: will simply cancel installation.
FOmod Installers: Some mods come with Installer windows to allow you to manually choose options and customize the mod to your liking. Generally these installers work no differently in Mod Organizer than they do in any other Mod Manager. Make your choices and install the mod as normal.
Load Order
Load Order generally refers to the order in which plugins are loaded into the game. Mod Organizer not only manages load order for plugins but also for asset files. We aren’t going to cover general modding load order principles, there are other guides for that, but rather specifics that pertain exclusively to Mod Organizer.
Plugin Load Order: The plugin load order is displayed in the right pane within the Plugins tab. In general, M.O.’s Plugin Load order works just like any other mod manager. Load Order determines the order in which mods are installed to the game of which those loaded last have priority meaning if multiple plugins affect the same files or game processes those with a higher priority will overwrite conflicting plugins with lower priority. You can drag and drop items to arrange them. You can right click in the plugins tab to enable all visible plugins, disable all or lock individual plugins in place so that it cannot be moved. The game’s official plugins, not the DLC, should always remain in the game’s Data folder. Mod Organizer will give them lowest priority as it should and they will be greyed out so that you cannot move them. At the top of the Plugins window you will notice a Sort button. This will access an internal LOOT master list to sort your mods from. However, the list is generally outdated and you should instead run the LOOT application itself.
Asset Load Order: This is where things are different. Unlike other mod managers of it’s time, Mod Organizer allows you to arrange a mods assets in the left pane just as you would do for plugins in the right pane. This allows asset files with higher priority to overwrite ones with lower priority but without replacing them as other mod managers would do. This means that you can arrange plugins in one order but then arrange asset files differently to assure that the textures, meshes and other files that you want to appear in game do so. It also allows you the ability to test the textures out in game without having to reinstall them each time. Either move their priority, or deactivate the checkbox without moving their priority and after testing reactivate it.
2b. Overwrite: One of the most useful, unusual and troublesome features of the Asset Load Order is the Overwrite. Some call it the Overwrite Mod because it does in fact act like a mod. It has the highest priority of all mods that are installed and acts as such. Others call it the Overwrite Folder because it also acts as an import/dumping folder for all applications that are RUN through M.O. To not confuse anyone we are going to call it the Overwrite Mod Folder and will only touch upon it briefly.
If you run a program through Mod Organizer, such as Wryebash to create a Bashed Patch, xEdit to create a Merged Patch, the Creation Kit to create a new mod or mod itself that requires a patch to be created for it such as DynDOLOD, FNIS, xEditLODGen and others… once each process has been completed, the output of the application RUN through M.O. will appear in the Overwrite Mod Folder. You will then have to right-click Overwrite, as done previously, select Create New Mod and continue on. You can also open Overwrite and drag and drop any file inside of it to a mod that already exists in the Assets Load Order window.
I will cover third party applications in depth later on in this series. For now, with all of the given information, know that it is important to keep the Overwrite Mod Folder empty at all times so to not unintentionally overwrite other files in your load order and to not accidently delete something in overwrite that a current save files needs to function. Always Create New Mod or drag and drop the files to an already existing mod as shown. If there is anything in the Overwrite Mod Folder the Warning, Yield Icon, at the top right of the interface will light up. Selecting it will present you with a Problems window informing you that There are files in your overwrite mod.
Archives
The Archives Tab is important to keep up with. If a mod contains a .bsa file, a Bethesda Archive that contains all of the mods asset files, it will be placed here under the mods name.
Have MO manage archives: When this checkbox is activated, all of the .bsa’s will be treated as loose files. This means that their Load Order priority will depend on the Asset Load Order pane and not the Plugin Load Order pane. If you deactivate the checkbox then .bsa’s will depend on Plugin Load Order, any any mods that require dummy .esp’s to function will have to be activated, taking needless plugin slots away from you. The only time that I would suggest to deactivate this checkbox is when running patch generators from mods that inform you to do so and then reactivating the checkbox after the patch has been made. LODGen mods usually need you to temporarily deactivate this.
Invalidation.bsa: during the Installation & Setup video we activated Archive Invalidation for each game. The invalidation.bsa corresponds with what we did there. Assure that the Invalidation.bsa is both activated and holding the highest spot in the window otherwise many mods may not function properly if at all.
Other than that, be sure to activate every single checkbox in this window. Checkboxes that are not activated will leave the mods that they are under without their asset files, basically rendering the mod useless.
How To Delete All Mods On Nexus Mod Manager
Mod Information
The Mod Information Window offers not only information about the mod but also provides some of the most useful features that M.O. has to offer. To open the Information window, in the left pane, either double-click a mod or right-click the mod and select Information. I recommend to anyone who is attempting to get the most out of M.O. to watch the entire section.
Textfiles: In the left pane lists all text (.txt) files that are in this mods directory such as Read-Me’s. From the right pane you can read the selected document as well as add, remove and save any information that you care to type. Be sure to actually select Save.
INI-Files: Lists every .ini file located in the mods directory. This includes game .ini file tweaks as well as any script extender .ini files and the like. These tweaks will override your default .ini settings values but only when the mod is activated allowing for specific tweaks to only be implemented on a mod to mod basis. You can alter them in the right pane and then save the changes. You can also create your own by right-clicking in the Ini Tweaks window. You can even create multiple tweak files that you can switch on and off by activating the check-boxes next to them.
Images: Display any image files that are packed with the mod.
Optional ESPs: This tab offers the ability to hide or reveal and .esp or .esm files that are packed with the mod.
This is beneficial for mods that contain many optional plugins that you may want to use one day but are currently deactivated taking up plugin space.
It allows you to hide dummy plugins, as some mods come with .esp’s specifically to activate .bsa files, which M.O. will do automatically to save on plugin space.
It allows for Merged Plugins to be hidden.
It allows for patched mods that have identical plugins to hide the original but still keep it readily on hand incase you remove a patch and need the original plugin reinstated.
To hide or reveal a plugin simply highlight it in either the Optional ESPs, hidden, window or in the Available ESPs, Load Order present, window and select the Up and Down arrows to move them.
Conflicts: This tab will show you each and every file within the mod that is being overwritten by another mod and that this mod is overwriting elsewhere. Information as to how many conflicts the current mod is generating, how many conflicts that other mods are providing to this mod and how many Non-Conflicted files is provided. In the top window, if the current mod is overwriting a file from another mod and you don’t want it to, you can right click a file, select Hide, and the file will be hidden and it will no longer provide a conflict. Very helpful for those who are really trying to manipulate what textures they want present in game. We will cover how to Unhide a file in the Filetree tab.
Categories: allows you to change the mod category that is displayed in the Category column.
Nexus Mod Manager Won't Open
Notes: Allows you to write down any notes that you may need to remember for the mod. A notepad icon will then be generated in the Flags column.
Nexus Info: will show you all of the text that is displayed on the mods description page on Nexus. The tab also displays the mods meta information: the Mod ID and Version number, both of which can be edited manually if desired.
Filetree: displays all of the mods contents, including files that are hidden and the M.O. generated metadata. You can edit the Filetree the same as you would from windows explorer, except that you cannot create text files from the window, only New Folders. You can Open files from here, extremely useful if you are someone who edits textures and has the proper plugins on your system, as well as Rename, Delete, or Hide them.
If a file has been hidden you can search through the file tree until you find the appended extension .mohidden. Right-click the file. Select Unhide and the file will be reinstated into the game, overwriting any conflicting mod with a lower priority.
Meta Information
Meta Information is mod info that M.O. has queried nexus for to use for various reasons, mainly to inform you about mod updates. If you aren’t concerned with update notifications via Mod Organizer, as you can simply Track the mod on Nexus, than you can skip this section. Missing Meta info will not have any affect on your game what-so-ever.
Double click mod. Open the Nexus tab. Here you will see the Meta Information: Mod Name, Mod Version number, Mod ID. If meta information has not been collected for a mod a warning, Yield Icon, in the Downloads tab in front of the mods name.
To attempt to retrieve this, in the Downloads tab, right-click the download file. Select Query Info. If a Select window opens you have to select the correct nexus ID option for the mod. This ID corresponds with the final numbers of a mod pages url. If the correct option isn’t provided select Cancel.
If a window opens asking you to Please enter… Mod ID simply open up the mod page to verify what it is and type it in. Again, the ID corresponds with the final numbers of a mod pages url.
If a window opens asking you to Select the correct file from the mod page, being that many mods provide more than a single download, select the appropriate file from the list.
In the end, meta information can fail even after following all of these steps. Reasons for this can be that the mod author has not assigned a version number to the mod, the mods File download page has more than 30 options to download from and your option was not detected from the first 30 or the file itself is not a Nexusmods mod and has been downloaded from a different website.
Left Pane Context Menu
This section may be helpful for some but not for others. If you’re going to skip this section at least take note of the quick Open in explorer option. To open the Context Menu right-click a mod.
– All Mods: opens a secondary context menu where each option will affect each and every mod.
Install Mod: Is the same as selecting the Archive Icon from the Toolbar. This opens the explorer to allow you to install mods that aren’t visible in the Downloads Tab.
Enable all Visible: will activate every check-box in the left pane
Disable all Visible: will deactivate every check-box in the left pane
Check all for Update: queries Nexus for mod meta data to check for updates and endorsement status.
Refresh: Refreshes M.O.
Export to CSV: exports your mod list to a .csv file which can be opened in an excel program.
– Mod Specific Options:
This section will cover the content menu when right-clicking specific mods.
Add/Remove Categories: opens a drop down to allow you to add the mod in question to specific mod categories.
Replace Categories: opens a drop down to allow you to replace the current mod category with a different one
Primary Category: Sets the single primary category that will be displayed on MO’s main interface.
Change Versioning Scheme: Some authors add words or letters to their mod versions on nexus and M.O. will detect this as an error. Clicking this option will approve the mod version and remove the warning.
Ignore Update: Ignores a mods update warning removing the icon until another update to the mod is made
Rename Mod: Allows you to rename the mod. You can also rename the mod by clicking on it a single time to highlight it and then single clicking on it again. You can also push F2.
Remove Mod: completely removes the mod from your system. If you don’t have the archive stored in Downloads folder you will need to redownload the mod to get it back.
ReInstall Mod: Deletes the current mod settings and reinstalls it as if you downloaded it for the first time. For this option to work the original archive has to be in MO’s Downloads folder. If you no longer have the archive you will be notified.
Endorse/Unendorse: allows you to do adjust your endorsement of the mod the same as you can on the mod page itself.
Won’t Endorse: removes the not endorsed, Heart w/ Question Mark, flag for the chosen mod.
Ignore Missing Data: removes the missing data, Red X, flag to allow you to ignore that the mod is missing meta information.
Visit on Nexus: opens the mods nexus page as long as the meta information for the mod is had.
Open in explorer: Opens the mods Mod Organizer Mods folder in the explorer. I use this often when following mod guides. This quickly allows you to edit specific .ini files if mods have them as well as anything else that you want to remove or add to the mod.
Left Pane Columns
As with the Context Menu information this section may be helpful for some but not for others. If you’d like to skip this section at least take note of the Flags and Priority columns unless you are familiar with them.
Column Bar: Hosts each column. Right-clicking the bar will open a context menu. Deactivating any of the checkboxes will remove the respective column from the interface to clean up information that you don’t care to see.
Mod Name: is the name of each mod that’s installed. Remember that you may have chosen to give a mod a different name than it’s original. Clicking the Mod Name header will sort your mods alphabetically for browsing purposes.
Checkboxes: mods installed via mod organizer have a checkbox. You can activate and deactivate mods from here without completely removing them. Mods installed to the game’s Data folder that M.O. detects, such as the official game content, do not have a checkbox and are always active.
Flags: flags are icons that inform of conflicts, endorsement status and or potential issues.
– Lightning Bolts:
Green Plus Signs indicates that the mod is overwriting another.
Red Minus Signs indicates that the mod is being overwritten by another.
Both a Plus and Minus Sign indicates that the mod is both overwriting another mod and is also being overwritten.
White Lightning Bolt: indicates that the mod is being totally overwritten and is serving no purpose. Generally, these mods can be deleted unless you think that you may remove the mods that are overwriting it.
Red X: indicates that the mod doesn’t contain any data recognizable to MO. In addition to the red x the name will be greyed out and italicized. If you are certain that you want to keep this mod despite MO telling you that it’s unusable, which there may be rare cases that you do, you can right click the mod and select Ignore Missing Data to remove the flag
Heart w/ Question Mark: indicated that the mod has not been endorsed.
Notepad: indicates that you have added personal notes to the mod.
Content: informs you of what each mod is comprised of via icons
Puzzle Icon: indicates that a mod contains a plugin.
Tool Icon: indicates that the mod contains non-plugin scripts
Treasure Chest: indicates that the mod contains a .bsa file
Checkerboard: indicates that the mod contains texture files
Tournament Brackets: indicates that the mod is a script extender plugin.
Armor Icon: indicates that the mod contains mesh files.
Harp Icon: indicates that the mod contains sound files.
Hand Icon: indicates that the mod effects a game’s interface.
Gods Hand Icon: indicates that the mod contains or is based on a SkyProc Patcher
Category: If your mods have category tags you can click the Category columns header to sort your mods by category for browsing purposes.
Nexus ID: indicates the nexus ID for each mod. Sorting by this column will allow you to see what mods are oldest. Lower numbers being older mods. If the mod installed is not from nexus the ID will be set to 0.
Version: indicates the mod version.
If the number is Green than you have the newest version available.
If the number is Red then you don’t. However, this can be misleading as some mods use older files as their main file.
A Yield Sign indicates that the version you have is numerically higher than what MO is detecting as the latest mod version on nexus.
A Calendar Icon is used when you install a mod that isn’t from Nexus.
Installation: lists the date and time that you installed the mod to Mod Organizer.
Priority: …probably the most important column, indicates the priority in which mods are loaded into the game.
When done looking through the columns make sure to sort your mods by the priority column, lowest to highest so that you see your actual Load Order.
Troubleshooting
None of the available installer plugins were able to handle that archive: If you receive this error message the archive that you are trying to install is mostly likely corrupt. Many times simply redownloading the mod and trying to install it again will fix this. If it doesn’t you may need to repack the mod into a new archive, removing and information within that is unnecessary such as fomod installers, or to simply omit the mod from your load order.
DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER doesn’t work:
Assure that you have linked MO with nexusmods. Watch the Installation and Setup video to see how. Follow each step within.
Go into the Mod Organizer directory. Locate the nxmhandler.exe . Double-click it to launch it. Make sure that the supported game is pointing to the appropriate mod organizer executable. If it already is, highlight it and select Register Active. At the Change handle registration? Window select Yes. If the game is not pointing to the proper executable, or if the game isn’t showing up at all, right-click within the NXM window. Select Add. From the Select Supported Games window select the game that this version of Mod Organizer is being used for. In the Binary window select the elipses. Browse to the ModOrganizer.exe that is being used for this game. If following our guides it will be located within the games folder and then within the Mod Organizer folder. Double-click the .exe. Back on the Dialogue window select OK. Select Register Active. Select Yes. Select Close.
Finally, if none of this has helped open the Settings window. Open Workarounds. Change the NMM Version to correspond with the current Nexus Mod Manager version. You can find the version number on nexus or at the top of Nexus Mod Manager itself if you version is up to date. Currently, even having an old version number allows the DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER option to work for me. Changing the number may or may not solve the issue but it has in the past.
Cannot arrange Mods. At the bottom center of the interface you will see a dropdown. Make sure that the No groups option is selected. The other options will not allow you to rearrange mods.
