Quick question to Mod organizer

[Anurabis]

I just switched from nnm to mod organizer and looked at the import feature as you can expect and as many people say here that feature is unstable however after i cancel it a window pops up asking me to copy the downloads from nmm basically just the archives and i wanted to know is that atleast safe to do? not keen on redownloading every mod again

Your NMM folder should have all the archives stored in a folder. Take that folder, move it somewhere else safe, then KILL that nasty ol' NMM!

 

Then you can use MO's "install from archive" option (the big button at the top/left) to install those archives you ripped from NMM. Since you should be doing this to a fresh, clean Skyrim installation it's not a lot of extra time or work really.

Thanks so that feature will also be safe and I'm planning to kill that nasty old NMM but before i do that i need to enable my mods and set the right priority the install date from NMM comes in handy there^^

Oh and another question i didn't fully understand for example:

I use armor replacer A and want some specific armors from Armor replacer B but want to keep some other from A in NMM i would just overwrite the armors i want is that possible on MO?

[gvman3670]

If two mods change the same thing then the one that's lower in the list (in the left pane) will "virtually" overwrite the higher one. Not sure how you could isolate single parts of a mod to overwrite while others don't, though.

[gvman3670]

Setting the priority is easy as pie. There will be lightning bolts with a + or a - beside them. These are overwrite flags. Double click one of those mods and choose the conflicts tab to see what is overwriting what. Then you just drag and drop in the left pane to get the overwrites you want and to eliminate those you don't.

[Anurabis]

Yeah i thorougly read that trough it's kinda sad that you can't specify what to overwrite

[gvman3670]

It could be possible (with some mods, depending on how they're packed up) to eliminate something you don't want. You can unzip most mods and fiddle around with the contents, then just zip them back up and install them. I do that with followers, custom races, armor packs and so on from time to time.

I found the Solution Mod Organizer shows you files that would actually overwrite each other and you can edit the mods afterwards so that how you do it lmao

If it works....it works.
