Yes, I do favor NMM over (I tried it out soon after it launched and just didn’t like it), but Bethesda’s manager does get the job done. What DrNewcenstein said is absolutely correct: the simplest solution is to download mods off Nexus and install them manually (download a mod, unzip it and drag & drop it into your Fallout 4 data folder) and then use to activate them and establish load order.

True - there's nothing wrong with going the manual route while mod managers make things convenient, you don’t have to use them.ĮDIT: Ah derp! I got so focused on the “switching over” part of your question I missed the forest for the trees. Betheda isn't going to steal your soul or crash your PC if you get mods from both. requires you to go through their in-game manager mostly because that's how the console versions work, and it's just easier if both PC and console versions function identically.ĭespite the paranoia in this thread, there's nothing wrong with using mods from both sources.

It's not complicated, and gives you total control over mod installations. Originally posted by DrNewcenstein:Or you can not use Nexus' Mod Manager and download them manually from the Nexus instead.

Nexus mod manager delete all mods
