What Mod Manager should i use and what version please?

[sophiextime]

Hello.

 

I wanted to ask the community what Mod manager seems to work best for a heavily modded Skyrim SE. I wanted to play this again having been away from the game for over a year and was now curious what works best manager wise. In the past i always used Mod organizer but should i still? i am comfy with how that program works but was wanting to know how stable it is or buggy or usable now. If not what is the best alternative as i do want to use a lot of nexus and Loverslab mods.

 

Many thanks.

Hallo.

 

Ich wollte die Community fragen, welcher Mod-Manager für ein stark modifiziertes Skyrim SE am besten zu funktionieren scheint. Ich wollte das noch einmal spielen, nachdem ich über ein Jahr lang nicht im Spiel war, und war nun neugierig, was in Bezug auf den Manager am besten funktioniert. Früher habe ich immer den Mod Organizer verwendet, aber sollte ich das trotzdem tun? Ich bin mit der Funktionsweise dieses Programms vertraut, wollte aber wissen, wie stabil, fehlerhaft oder verwendbar es jetzt ist. Wenn nicht, was ist die beste Alternative, da ich viele Nexus- und Loverslab-Mods verwenden möchte.

 

Vielen Dank.

 

I advise against Vortex - I use it myself and therefore know its limits ... but I also know my limits (at the age of over 60) - so I will never use MO2

Thank you, I think i will stick to MO2 then. is there a version i should be using or not using. I do have the MO2 discord i think or did. I always get nervous of using beta ones. 

 

Also as a side question Whats the limit to how many mods i can have running with MO2 for Skyrim SE? is it 100, 200 or s there even a limit? 🤔

as far as i know the one on nexus should be fine.

 

esp/esm have the same limit as in LE ( 255 - the 4 taken up by the 3 dlcs and the update.esm, so 251), but SE/AE can also use esl files (limit of 4096)

mods without a plugin (eg most texture mods) you can have as many as you want....or until your cpu/gpu craps out.

Thank you @MadMansGun I think before i had 389 mods , a lot was ESL's but i think a lot was also ESM's and i did go over 255, 300 at least. I found the game didnt crash during playing it, i just found Mo2 wouldnt load the game and just tried then stopped. Its as if Mo2 said ' nope too many!" hehe
