New Alpha Nexus Mod Manager?

[GamerPoets]

Have you guys seen this yet? Apparently Nexus is going the route of taking all of Tannin's ideas and trying to incorporate them into NMM. Perhaps not all yet, but it seems that way. Multi profile appears to be implemented now. 

 

Will this mean anything for STEP if the NMM succeeds completely in this? 

[Nozzer66]

Not for me it wont. I still wont use it.

Does it detect if it is installing the mod correctly or does it still install what ever is in the root of the archive?

That was my biggest complaint.

 

The Nexus will have to put significantly more effort into it for NMM to be worthwhile because there are several fundamental issues.

I haven't tested it. Honestly, don't plan on it lol. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on it as I know a few people will be testing it out well. I'm more worried about having to redo another entire set of tutorials over lol because I'll do it... but like shoveling this 2 feet of snow that fell today.... I don't want too lol

I'd consider using NMM for non-Bethesda games. Most other games you only install a few mods instead of hundreds.

[GamerPoets]

Now I know that M.O. is only "official" usage for FO3 FONV TES4 and TES5 .... do you know of any future plans to expand on that? 

[Nozzer66]

I'd probably consider using it for non-bethesda games, for about 10 seconds. Then I'd come back to my senses.

I don't think Tannin has expressed any interest in expanding MO to other games. If he has, then I don't know about it. The idea of mod isolation is one that would probably benefit any modded game.

When you try having one app handle all games, it is difficult if not impossible to give individual attention to every game. The methodology is entirely different, built on an entirely different architecture. I'm sticking with MO.

I'm not sure if this due to the latest NMM build, but on the FNIS comments page there are a number of users that seemingly use NMM and when they install FNIS it appears to be placing the exe in the C:\Windows\System folder and not where it should be. That's purely speculation at this stage, I just made mention of it to @fore and he placed a note in his description.

If that is true then NMM is suffering from more issues than just being inferior to MO. Some of those developers need to smacked.

[GamerPoets]

I'd love to never switch from M.O. lol I'm praying Tannin brings it to FO4 and TES6... 

 

LOL @Grant. Smacked indeed. I get NMM questions about FNIS all the time and its really hard to not respond (when asked what they should do) to just say switch to MO lol. The last 3 out of 4 comments on the FNIS video have been about NMM. 

 

Well, I feel my worries are subsiding. Appreciate it.

I think you solve that one by deleting System32.

If we finally get a new engine with FO4 then MO might not translate. Depends on what BGS does and how they go about supporting mods.
