How do you remember all of the mods you install? Or how to obtain things in them?

[RPGX_Omega]

For instance. I get carried away and get so many that I know while most can be obtained. Sometimes I forget I have to find something or enter a command for it. While most stuff can be forge though. But how do others manage so many mods? Just not play in fullscreen until you obtain/do it?

 

It would be nice for a command or mod to list what has been the newest/modified changes to the game.

I use a mod manager but most of my mods don't require me to do anything. There are a few that add armor or something that originally you could only get through the console those I simple open in CK and set up Recipe/Temper files for them.

I add all my custom armors to a single esp, then put all the item ids info a additem blah txt file, remove the extension and run the batch file from in game and it gives you everything you added.

 

any console command can be added through batch files

i just do a text file with the codes of a entire set, and use bat NameofMod to get that, and also i already have one single bat with my clothes inside, just need use bat command and i got all.

I'm using Mod Manager Wrye Bash (Wrye Smash).

 

Well, you need to install a fresh Skyrim and then install all the mods using Wrye Bash, so it will be listed and organized there. You can easily uninstall undesired mods cleanly whenever you want. There's also flags to identify missing and conflict files between mods.

Some of my mods become suprises. I'll be running around and see a chest and then remember the mod places a chest of stuff in the world or I'll stumble on to a quest mod. But to keep them sorted I use my own categories in NMM.

when ever I do a refresh of mods, like to clean a save or what ever I take a screen shot of NMM and esp active then I just copy that.

In Wrye's mod list, I right-click on the column headers, and then select List Mods. However, most of my installations are now done by manually, so I have to memorize what I have installed -- that is, only what I actually need should I reinstall Skyrim and go for a fresh new start.

Mod managers all the way. I highly suggest Mod Organiser as it allows you to keep a clean install. However, I find it also increases load times for the game. So instead I just use the Nexus Mod Manager which allows me to download straight from the site, no extra work required.
