Is it possible to use bethesda.net mods and nexus mod manager mods together?

["Ṟ̸̶̄Ō̶̲U̵͇̿͞G̷̅͟]

Bethesda mods are getting quite limited to be used but and the same time i do not want to delete all my bethesda mods because i like most mods, im thinking of switching over to the nexus mods but I was wondering if it is possible to combine both together

[flying dutchman]

so far i can see you need to find the nexus mods and delete your bethesda if you look good you can find all of the mods that you use with bethesda in nexus to the same ones so that you do not lose anything but it can be that some mods can not be fond in nexus and some mods will work with nexus and bethesda but not all of them beware for that it can crash the game i my self step over to nexus it is the same als bethesda only better more to find please becarrefull if you do that use bethesda and nexus mod together

There is absolutely no difference between plugin types on Bethesda Net and Nexus, NMM can enable / disable them but since they're not installed with the nexus you have to uninstall them in-game.

Yes you can use both. I am using both and have had no issues.

You can easily save your Bethesda.net mods before making the switch (and you should switch; Nexus has thousands of great mods which aren’t limited by Beth's crappy standards and their mod manager is superior).

First make a new folder to keep them in, then go into the game’s data file in your Fallout 4 game directory (usually located at C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/Common/Fallout4/data) and simply copy & paste the mods you wanna keep to the new folder.

Once you’ve disabled/deleted the Beth mods and disabled the Bethesda.net mod launcher, simply drop your saved Beth mods back into the data folder (you technically don’t need a mod launcher to run these files anyway). You can now download, install and start using Nexus Mod Manager without fear of conflicts with Bethesda's mod manager (you really shouldn’t use more than one mod manager at a time).

I would suggest downloading Loot to help with load orders.

Cheers!

This is true, though conflicts are possible.

Nearly 900 hours and never had a conflict. Am using about 30 mods

He means you'd have to uninstall them manually, but that's no big deal - you just delete them out of the game's data folder.

Or you can not use Nexus' Mod Manager and download them manually from the Nexus instead. It's not complicated, and gives you total control over mod installations. Bethesda.net 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.

Despite the paranoia in this thread, there's nothing wrong with using mods from both sources. Betheda isn't going to steal your soul or crash your PC if you get mods from both. The Nexus fanboyism here is nauseating.

Cool. I didn't say it wasn't possible, just not recommended. I’ve done it before and had no problems, but there have been other times when it caused incessant crashing.

I’m just saying you’re less likely to have problems if you keep it simple.

True - there's nothing wrong with going the manual route; while mod managers make things convenient, you don’t have to use them.

EDIT: Ah derp! I got so focused on the “switching over” part of your question I missed the forest for the trees.

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 Bethesda.net to activate them and establish load order.

Yes, I do favor NMM over Bethesda.net (I tried it out soon after it launched and just didn’t like it), but Bethesda’s manager does get the job done.

[ForevaNoob Wonemorturn]

Yeap. Simply enjoy yourself with both as I do. And move to Nexus only some day...

nexus is better bethesda sucks

what do you mean by disalbing the bethesda.net mod launcher?

[Kapteeni Moukku]

I have used mods from both from the start and haven't encountered any problems.
I manually download and install mods from Nexus that aren't available on Bethesda net and i use the ingame mod manager to manage my load order.

Well, I suppose "disable" is the wrong word; once you’ve uninstalled the Bethesda mods (after copying them, but before dropping them back into the Fallout 4 data file) just don’t use the Bethesda.net launcher anymore – IF that’s the way you wanna go.

As I said in my edited response to another poster; there’s technically NOTHING wrong with the Bethesda.net launcher – I personally just don’t like it.

There’s no reason why you couldn’t manually download and install mods off Nexus and load order/launch them through Beth’s launcher.
