Nexus mods do not dowload with manager

[Lorenzo_BR]

Hello. My computer skills are as bad as they can get, but i`ve followed the videos below to the letter until 6:15.

Problem is, when i click on "Download with manager", it does not simply downloads as in the video. Nothing happens.

As i could not find any page speaking about this problem, i am here to ask for help.

Followed to the letter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_2490256913&feature=iv&index=2&list=PLE7DlYarj-DdGbu7-Chui4ZQuZZCGbpWl&src_vid=nWDjdimWoMQ&v=CVC31Qu048Q

Followed until problem (at 6:15): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWDjdimWoMQ

Which version of the manager are you using and is it set up to manage fallout 4?

I wouldnt use the nexus mod manager anymore. It has been dropped as the main manager of the nexus. Its best to use vortex now. Its being updated almost every month.

It`s the most recent available, and yes, it is set up to manage F4.

Alright, i`ve heard of it, so i`ll try to make it work. Back to around an hour of carefully following step by step instructions, i suppose! It`ll be worth it though... fixing the lore with mods will make for a rather interesting run!

If you are using old version of NMM, then it will not work with Nexus login anymore. The one downloaded from NMM GitHub page will.

However, NMM has plenty of issues. I would recommend moving to either Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.

Gopher has beginners guide series for Vortex.
GamerPoets has beginners guide series for MO2.

Both are considered as official tutorials for respective mod managers.

Thank you very much guys! I downloaded Vortex and it was considerably easier to use and worked wonderfully!

When did they drop NMM support? Never had a problem with it, only some mods that didnt properly install, but that was on my end because i didnt read "only FOMOD" marking on the mod pages.

It haven't been supported by Nexus since last winter. It was officially replaced by Vortex few weeks ago. They no longer provide load link for NMM either.

NMM has several issues, but not everyone sees them all the time. Problems became notable after ESL update. Nexus was already throwing NMM in to bin at that point.

NNM still kinda works but it won't be update, I mean in NMM you can still update the Mods themselves and group them, you won't be able to update the manager though just the mods and groups...

I myself will start to use Vortex too but I have to study it and master it like I did with NMM and Wrye, so I'm using NMM just for right now, and no more installing mods with Wrye, well maybe some FOMOD less mods through wrye and a few that don't really install with NMM...Skyrim Devious Devices trio is the only one I use on wyre anymore...

If you watch the tutorials it will be easy to move from nmm to vortex I did it just a few days ago.

Well I got to spend two different days then, you may think it's weird but I'll look at the T vid and then a day or two later I'll try it out, I do have other things to do ;P

After downloading a few free CC mods, i couldnt change the load order anymore on the NMM. After a little while, my mods conflicted too much. Ever since im using vortex, i got a nice boost of 20 fps all round. Even the mosin nagant single bullet reloading animation works again. It only worked on the first day with nmm. Also, excavations is fixed for me. It had a bug where the far away textures were still there close by. With vortex, its gone.

I really think that NMM had some deep bugs that could never be fixed because the original creator of nmm never fixed them. However, with vortex, a fresh start, they didnt had to change an existing program. By starting from scratch, they got a stable mod manager now. You can even import your nmm mods onto vortex so nothing has to be redownloaded or reinstalled.

You never really need to re-download mods, if you swap between managers. They are stored under Download folder of the manager.

Mod authors sometimes change names and versions of files on go, so it is easy to get confused with names in Download folders. I always download mods manually and then install them with the manager from hard drive.

It makes it far easier to keep a track of mods, when they are under named download folders in storage drive and folders have version numbers in them.

Just a suggestion, for those considering of fiddling around with several managers.

What comes to CC mods: keep in mind that you can't actually move those ESL-files in your load order anyway. They all load in alphabetical order, right after official ESM files, despite of how you try to position them in the load order. Game reads and loads them differently than usual ESM/ESP files, so don't worry about where they are in the load order. They will get loaded exactly as presented above in any case.
