Once you've found one you want to download, go to the downloads tab and select "Mod Manager Download" if applicable.

Browse for mods on the nexus site for your game.also keep a list of all your mods installed, group the downloads together, and provide an easier method of installing/uninstalling them, in a nut-shell.īoth Vortex and NMM have detailed instructions for use, but generally the process is simple.

Something like Vortex is even safer in the sense that it uses a virtual filesystem, so if something breaks it can be easily removed and reverted to how it was before, unlike manually dragging-dropping files which can't be reverted easily unless a backup has been made.

Dragging and dropping has more room for error than installing mods through a mod-manager. The whole point of a mod-manager is to take some of the uncertainty out of sticking mod files in your game folder.
