What Do I Replace Nmm When I Already Have A Bunch Of Mods Installed?

[ShedoSurashu]

Greetings LL members! So I'm fairly new to Oblivion and TES. Obviously, my first go-to source for mods is NexusMods along with their Nexus Mod Manager. However, the more I get into the modding scene, the more I see people having distaste for NexusMods. I've encountered multiple mods that have been pulled by the author from there but are still available elsewhere. All in all, I believe continuing to rely on their NexusModManager product will burn me down the road.

 

So now I ask you good people, what are my options aside from manually applying the patches? Generally the one useful thing I find about NMM is that it tracks what gets put on and what gets replaced so that when I want to disable or remove the mod, it can put back the files that were modified. Is there another mod manager that can do this? I've seen OBMM but I believe OBMM doesn't have that one feature.

Oblivion Mod Manager is king. Combine it with Wyre Bash and BOSS if you want the serious experience.

Wrye Bash version 295 and doing bain installations is the most advanced mod management and tracking\installation program\process:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/oblivionworks/files/Wrye%20Bash/Wrye%20Bash%20295/

I recommend using the standalone installer version.

 

Do NOT use the "latest" version of wrye bash for Oblivion.  They tried to make a bunch of changes for Skyrim and broke things for Oblivion instead.

 

There is a pictorial guide for wrye bash over at the nexus to help you through the learning curve of using wrye.

 

Cheers,

Greg
