One of the major bonuses of using the Nexus Mod Manager NMM over manually installing your mods is that it makes it a lot easier for you to actually download and install mods off of the Nexus sites. If you do not use a mod manager you have to manually download and save your files to your hard-drive and then either manually extract files in the proper game directories, or use a mod manager to load the files.
NMM takes care of all of this in the background, which really speeds up the modding process. This quick tutorial page assumes that you have already installed NMM and have it setup ready for modding. The Download Manager tab located at the bottom of the program by default is where all your downloads are displayed for the current session.
You can download more than one file at a time, and all the files you are currently downloading or have completed downloading will show in the Download Manager tab until you close the program. When you click the "Download with manager" button the file you selected will be added to the Download Manager tab.
Each download you have running will show details about the progress of your file downloads, including how fast you are downloading, how long NMM thinks your download will take based on your download speed and the percentage of the download completed. You can control certain aspects of your file downloading using the buttons to the left of the download manager. These buttons are:.
At this point your file will be added to the "Mods" tab where you can manage your new file. Once a file download has been completed NMM will automatically add the file to the "Mods" tab. The Mods tab contains all the mods and files that you have downloaded or added to your game manually. When you download a file it will be added to the Mods tab, but it will not be active which means it won't show up in the game until you activate it.
NMM does not automatically activate mods as there is a chance your downloads will conflict with currently installed files, and we think it's best if you manage this process manually so you do not inadvertently break your game. To login, click on the profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the manager window - keep in mind, the popup may open behind the main NMM program window.
Once the download completes and you have read all of the installation instructions provided by the creator, simply double-click on the mod or select it and press the Enable Mod button the green checkmark on the left to install and activate the mod.
If your game crashes during play or on startup, open the Plugins tab of the manager and make sure that your load order is arranged correctly. While Nexus Mod manager has been update to support files for Fallout 4, some mods may still require players to install files manually. The best way to avoid errors in this is to read all of the installation instructions carefully before installing any files. Installing mods manually may seem like a daunting task, but in many cases it's a much simpler job than one might think.
By default, the directory is installed to:. When you've downloaded your mod files, use a file extracter such as WinRar or 7zip to extract the files into the Data folder. If your mod contains plugins, such as a. If the mod contains loose files - such as a folder lablelled 'Meshes' or 'Strings' or something - copy the entire folder into Data. Until the official modding tools for Fallout 4 are released, it is unlikely that the launcher will feature a Data Files tab to configure your mod load order.
In order to ensure that your mods are installed, you'll need to manually check and setup the game's plugin list. This file can be found by default in:. In the Fallout 4 folder in App Data, open plugins. If they aren't listed there, manually enter the file names and save the document, then launch the game.
