Man of Honour
I didn't start using mods until Fallout 4 a few years back and used Nexus Mod Manager as a mod manager. Worked fine, but it's no longer supported. There's a community-supported version, but of course having no official support does cause some problems.
So I was thinking that I'd keep NMM for the games I already play modded and use a different, currently supported, mod manager for new games I want to play modded.
I initially looked at Vortex, the replacement for NMM, but it's quite different. Since it's a new mod manager, I decided to look around to see if there are others. Mod Organiser 2. OK, I'll look into both.
What I found was a lot of fan war, let's fight! with people on each side saying their preferred mod organiser is wonderful and the other is a horrible UI splodged over a buggy mess that's unreliable and may break your games and is generally poop on a stick. With some of the fans on both sides saying that criticism of their preferred mod manager only comes from people who haven't learned to use it. I don't want to have to learn to use a mod manager - the whole point of a mod manager is extreme ease of use. If I didn't want that, I'd be installing mods manually. Which I do in some cases.
So I thought I'd seek the wisdom of these forums.Which mod organiser is perfect and which is the evil spawn of Satan? Which mod organiser would you recommend and why? Bearing in mind that what I want from a mod organiser is extreme ease of use. NMM provides that, with LOOT run seperately for automatic load order and drag and drop load order changing if I want to. If it was still supported properly I'd had no hesitation in continuing to use it.
