Is the Nexus Mod Manager safe to use now? (A friend got me scared)

[Mak0h_]

One of my friends told me not to sign in to the manager or else most of the mods I have downloaded will try to update then crash the manager because they were probably taken down from the website. Ever since that "Pay for Mods" incident I stayed away from the game ever since and I really want to get back into it. I'm just a bit scared to even open it so answering this question will relieve anyone else with the same possible problem as me.

~Thanks

Your waifu isn't real!!!

NMM is safe and much better to use for modding then the workshop you don;t get auto updates breaking your stable game state and you can set load order ect. If you wish to use a lot of mods there's some really useful video guilds on the basics on youtube also check out LOOT and Tes5Edit and watch some video guides on how to use them it's easier then typing/reading ;)

Some may have been taken down, can you check there without login?

Nexus mod manager doesn't update mods itself, it merely tells you if there is an updated version when you look at the mod listings.

Your friend doesn't know what he is talking about honestly.

If they updated automatically(which you don't want to occur), I wouldn't have this really old version of the hedge knight armor installed, or the drakian race be 5.8c rather than d.

Also if a mod was taken down, it wouldn't affect your installed mods at all. I have this old mod that has since been uninstalled still in the manager that was deleted previously(long time ago, due to it broke).

Thats what i thought, i was wondering why he said it auto updates. Its been so long since I played the game that i thought it changed a bit. Thanks for the answers.

Don't listen to Emperor. Read everything.

I've used NMM for everything and not had any trouble. But I also use Wrye Bash and LOOT, etc.

NMM is perfectly safe. Using it will also eliminate many of the problems inherent with downloading and using the same exact mods from Steam Workshop.

@ Emporor: What random problems have you encountered from using NMM? I've never heard of any random problems caused by NMM.

NMM is totally safe. Not a single problem so whatever your friend said might have only been on his/her end.

Your friend is full of BS, even in its earliest state I have never seen it do any damage.

My NMM won't let me change my load order. I use LOOT. On a few of my mods LOOT gets the order wrong. I therefore have to change them into the correct position manually. But NMM won't let me do that. So those mods that are in the wrong place, I can't use. So don't say NMM is perfect. It's good. Don't get me wrong. But it's not perfect.

As far as I know only steam workshop auto updates and is the only place that ever had paid mods, so really what you should do is stay away from the peasant workshop.
