No need to re-download everything, it re-assigns all of that info. would that be the most recent build of NMM that i've been hesitant to download that has that button? *edit Brad, answered my question and found that button. Sadly, it doesn't populate mod version numbers and mod authors, which is what I'm after as well. **edit to my edit w00t! i also found how to import that metadata as well by clicking the binoculars icon.

SentaiBrad Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It might be, but I am unsure. There's no reason not to update. I took a screenshot to show where it is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 You will need to update NMM if you want to use the Download With NMM links on the Nexus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis524 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I've been able to download links through NMM today without the update. I thought I saw a disclaimer that Nexus would attempt to redownload my mods and re-install and that scared me a bit. Or was that LOOT?? Bourbon and NMM don't mix well lately...

Lordmonkus Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hmm, I could have sworn that when I tried to use the Download Wwith NMM link and my NMM wasn't up to date it made me update. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say that, but it works just fine usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I just always update it when asked, always works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis524 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) now, if there was a way to have NMM automatically update your outdated mods for you, that'd be hella sweet. *edit i've downloaded and installed (i think) and update to one of my installed mods. The older version is grayed out and the newer updated mod, while installed, has the red disabled icon next to it and clicking the green activate check mark will not turn the icon from red "no-no" to green "you're all good." Is the updated mod active or do i have to delete the old outdated mod? If so, will it delete any needed files/meshes/textures?

alexis524 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Lord/Brad, i posted this just a aminute ago on nexus' forums, and figured I may be able to get a quicker reply here. I'm following the S.E.P.T.I.M. guide and just fininshed step 3. when scrolling through my installed mod page in NMM, I accidentaly clicked on the verdant mod and it unistalled that mod and now left with the red cirlce with a slash. I have 16 mods installed after it. What would be my next move to avoid starting from scratch? Just click install mod? delete any mods installed after verdant and reinstall? or other? Thank you very much in advance Edited November 21, 2016 by alexis524 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Just reinstall it by double clicking. If it pops up with any messages about overwriting just pick yes or no to mod depending on if you want its textures or models to be used or not. I don't know if the verdant grass mod uses an .esp plugin or not but if it does you may have to adjust it in the load order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis524 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Ok, thanks Lord. The only other grass mod that i have installed after Verdant is the Verdant patch for RW2. Re-install that to be safe or no need? P.S. Thank you very much for your reply Edited November 21, 2016 by alexis524 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 You might not have to reinstall it but I would do it just to be safe and again re-check the load order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombeaver Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Do existing mods + NMM cross-over into the special edition? I've got 100+ mods installed via NMM for the normal version. Do Script Extender and ENB work for it? Elder Scrolls games are always a rabbit hole of modding for me and Skyrim is no exception, so if there's a way for me to just transfer my mods over to Special Edition that'd be awesome. Do existing save games work (I kindof doubt it, but I dunno)? This wasn't something I'd really looked into at all previously because I didn't realize that existing Skyrim owners got the special edition for free.

alexis524 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Unfortunately not Zombeaver. There are alot of mods getting ported over for SSE at this point, but only a fraction. However, there are many mods for Oldrim that work within SSE at the moment. Best bet is to check the comments on mod page on Nexus to see if anyone has reported it working OK. I don't belive Oldrim saves are transferable either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Some mods do while some don't, it just depends on the mod and you really need to check. I am using some mods for the old version but they were ones confirmed to be working. There is no script extender for the special edition yet but it is being worked on. There is an ENB for it even though there is less of a need for it now since the special edition is much more stable and has much better lighting and shadows out of the box. ENB is still used to do some post processing effects but that is all it is needed for now. I don't think old saves transfer over but maybe if it was a totally unmodded game it might.

Well, I guess I'll give it some time then; for the script extender to be completed at the very least. I suppose it's a good thing that I've used NMM from the beginning since that way I can at least see exactly what I have installed currently and jump straight to the relevant mod pages from there. I guess I'll just keep an eye on them. 14 minutes ago, lordmonkus said: There is an ENB for it even though there is less of a need for it now since the special edition is much more stable and has much better lighting and shadows out of the box.

Somehow I doubt even with the upgrade it's going to have the sort of aesthetic I want out of the box though. I'm a huge fan of the Somber series of ENBs for Skyrim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It seems most people are moving over to using Reshade for the post processing but END still has its users of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
