Nexus Mod Manager focus group needs more help

  • Comment
This is a quick and easy news post asking for a little more help with the Nexus Mod Manager focus group. The team has been hard at work doing updates, bug fixing and adding new features to provide the most stable and reliable platform for modding your games. This is going to be one big release!

We touched on it before, but the big addition to this release will be the Backup and Restore functionality. Following feedback from the users involved in the existing focus group, we have added a complete local backup facility. This allows you to take a 100% complete “snapshot” of your game mods, ready to be restored in full, at any time.

Another big part of the upcoming update is Profile Sharing which allows users to share their own profiles and allows one-click installation of other's profiles. This enables everyone to share their modded experiences easier than ever.

The combination of these two systems enables you to then try out other builds and profiles that have been uploaded to the site with ease and peace of mind. If you don’t like the downloaded build or want to just return to your previous configuration, then it’s as simple as a few clicks.

The possibilities this opens up are pretty endless. We have already seen in the focus group an  amazing diversity of people’s profiles, each one changing your game to become a new and unique experience. Any combination of new looks, quests, abodes, armors, or gameplay mechanics can now be installed and replaced with ease - this is a very exciting addition.

The focus group has been exceptionally busy and have helped us in finding and quashing a number of bugs through the use of the Github bug tracker and we are most grateful for all the help they have provided, but we now need more people.

So here is another call out to ask if anyone would either like to be a part of the focus group or knows of someone that would. If so, please drop an email to [email protected] and I will invite you to join us in our company communication tool ‘Slack’, you will be given access to the upcoming releases of Nexus Mod Manager. What we ask is that you spend some time testing each feature of the software, especially the new ones that will be detailed within ‘Slack’ and report back any bugs that you may find.

Many thanks

Paul

    The idea of importing anybody else mod settings to your own game and reverting back to yours if you don't like it then try something else again is just incredible.
    I can hardly believe it.
    But if you manage to do it it could be a revolution in the way we play games (i don't think im exaggerating) and Nexus would be known beyond just a mod download site.
    Awesome

    I'd be pleased as punch if the "check for mod updates" button worked properly again.

    My biggest issue with the manager is basically how unrelentingly SLOW it is to unpack, activate, deactive, and uninstall mods that are large.

      back before all this virtual install stuff I remember this thing being fast!!.

      Personally ; I dont care for "profiles" as long as its smart enough when I uninstall something it restores the previous files prior to overwrite.

    Well seeing how I've mucked around in the modding pit through New Vegas, Skyrim, and now FO4...I currently have 320 installed mods and 225 active plugins. Since I usually am too wrapped up in making my own mod list work to give the proper credits to you creators in terms of endorsment who are amaze. I feel obligated to give back through my experience in this great world of Nexus.

    I never had a problem with NMM before, but unfortunately I've had to stop using it. Everytime I dl a mod through it now, for some weird reason it shuts my network down. I'll have to look more into what exactly is going on, but for right now I'll just stick to manual installs

    Im pretty new to the mod-community, but been using Nmm since I started modding 7 month ago, and it have run smoothly (almost) all time for me ( running 200+ mods )

    I have only been using Nmm in FO4 so I cant say anything about other games.

    There is some minor installing problems with some mods,
    but usually that's from the mod-authors side !!

    I have never (so far ) experience any DL problem (more that it can be a bit slow sometimes)

    Here is my lo :

    I'd be happy to join the focus group if you're still looking for more people. I did drop you an email but haven't heard back.

    Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but since August 10th, the images for the mods loaded up in the last two days are all blank.

    As of the latest release at the time of this comment I have been using NMM exclusively for FO4 with 57 active plugins. More in the rafters waiting to be activated when/if I'm ready for them. So far I have had not a single issue with the program and have enjoyed its ease of use.
