Why Nexus Mod Manager won't allow to log in:

[beedle]

First of all, I just want to say that Nexus is one of the best mod managers I have ever used, mainly because I don't like to manually install mods, into data folders...♥♥♥♥ like that. Enough with the intro, to the chase. Nexus has stopped permitting mods to be loaded once downloaded, because it asks for your passsword and username. I put both in, na dit didn't permit me in, STILL. I recieved an email saying that Nexus glitched (not suspecting you guys didn't). If anybody has any questions, please post in the comment section BELOW: V -AT

Not sure on the current state of NMM, but I would recommend uninstalling it. This was one of the main reasons that I went back to fomm. That, and this is still posted on the S.T.E.P. page:

"The Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) is no longer supported by STEP. The reason is that NMM does not allow the necessary level of control required by the STEP installation process. More importantly, NMM can *break* the STEP installation due to its lack of several controls related to mod overwrites and incomplete install/uninstall in some cases. "

So what you practicly saying is Nexus isn't supported by a certain comp. anymore and that's what this is?

Umm.. not even close... Do you know what S.T.E.P. is? Just in case you don't..STEP[wiki.step-project.com].

And it's not only that. The entire reason NMM exists is becasue its supposed to "download mods straight from the website", "hassle free". Something most other mod managers now do... Except those actually work, unlike NMM...

I had the same issue. If you're not using the latest NMM version, you can't log in through it. Just update it. Also, it's much better for Skyrim than it is New Vegas, even if it does cover a whole lot of games.

I don't know why you're linking step. It doesn't applly to New Vegas.

OP, you can continue using NMM, it isn't going to hurt anything. If you can't log in, give it some time. The holidays are here and everybody is either off work or out of school and there's more traffic than usual on the nexus sites.

[beedle]

You have a completely understandable point there.

Actually it does. Considering that the modding process is almost exactly the same. And if one of the most comprehensive modding guides says "stay the ♥♥♥♥ away from it" I'd heed they're advice.

You can continue to use NMM (nothing wrong with that lol). If you're a causal modder you shouldn't run into many problems.

NwptRaisins anyone who has used the Nexus for any length of time knows they they're constantly having problems with their servers. Personally I'd wait until they get their ♥♥♥♥ together, not only with NMM, but their servers as a whole.

STEP is the most nitpicky OCD 'guide' I've ever read. STEP was written for the meticulous/compulsive perfectionist modders out there. NMM was designed to make the mod installation process simpler. So what if it doesn't have the myriad of controls of the other mod managers that I've never even heard of. Does that somehow automatically make it a lost cause?

It works perfectly fine and it more or less always has.

Sure... Call it what you will doesn't change the fact that is the most comprehensive modding guide for TES V.

And where exactly did I say (or even suggest) that it was a lost cause? I hope that NMM is a great mod manager. My reccommendation was that you wait until get to release stage. By then hopefully they will have fixed most of the glaring bugs.

Please don't say it works perfectly fine, that is blatantly false. OP listed one of the biggest problem with this manager, and its constant. If you truely want NMM to be the great mod manager you make it out to be you have to admit that there are bugs, lots of bugs. And its perfectly fine that you continue to use that buggy mess, I just like something a bit more stable :)

[Grimminski]

I said it more or less worked perfectly fine, never did I say it was 100%. I've never had a single issue with it except for it failing to log in when the nexus is under heavy load.

Again that's great. You like NMM. You've never had a problem with NMM (doubtful), that's great. Still doesn't change the fact that it is littered with bugs, understandable considering its 0.46. I just prefer something a bit more stable, like anything else, lol.
