Profiles & Mods

[Scizzik]

Can you have install the same mod differently for each profile?

 

For instance i have Skill Interface Retexture. The Dawnguard Patch will replace the texture of either werewolf or vampire, not both. I chose the werewolf.

 

If i reinstall on another profile and choose vampire will it affect my default profile?

[rootsrat]

Yes. Just install it under a different name. In fact I have this very mod installed twice, one version for Vampire and one for Werewolf.

Would this work for other mods like skeleton mods as well?

[rootsrat]

This is true for any mod.

Thanks. Dont know why i wasnt thinking about it like that in the first place. Was thinking more along the lines of how to save space but it doesnt appear to be something id have to do very often anyways.

 

BUT

 

I now have a new problem. Copying my default profile isnt copying installation priority with it. Is there any easy way to do this or am i going to have to manually prioritize every time i make a new profile?

Installation priority-- you mean the left pane? I think you could copy the modlist.txt from your old profile over to the new one-- that should do it. Otherwise for the load order you want plugins.txt.

I've used 'copy profile' a few times and for me it worked flawless.

 

You can use a windows diff program like beyond compare or windiff to compare the old and the new profile. A profile is a sub directory in the /profiles directory so you need to compare two directories. For more information about profiles see the MO wiki and for a technical discussion about what files exist in a profile see this thread.

 

Please create a ticket for it in the issue tracker of MO. Perhaps you can reproduce the situation when it didn't work, that would be even better.
