New video tutorial for NMM by Gopher, NMM passes 300,000 unique downloads
While I can't program in OOP languages to save my life, what I can do is documentation. A couple of weeks back I asked well known mod video blogger and Nexus member Gopher if he would be willing to create a video tutorial for people who were new to NMM. If you're not in the know, Gopher has a popular following of YouTubers who tune in to the regular mod review videos he publishes on his YouTube channel. I highly recommend them!
The video is now available and takes you through everything from downloading and installing NMM, getting it to work with FOMM to installing mods, managing mods and updating mods. It runs at 34 minutes, and I know some of you have ADD (among other things) and might not be able to sit still for 34 minutes, so I've taken the liberty of making a Wiki page that details what is in the video under specific headings, along with time links to the specific time in the YouTube video. So if you're only interested in learning about one area, you don't need to watch the whole thing to find it.
On the subject of the Wiki, the Wiki now has it's own NMM category and I've begun the long process of adding pages to the Wiki specifically for the Nexus Mod Manager. The hope is that in the not too distant future it will cover everything from the simple basics, to the really technical stuff like how to make those really cool scripted installers that make NMM really handy to have. Remember that you can help with publishing Wiki articles, and if you're serious about helping out then get in contact with me, I can help you learn the ropes of the Wiki (if you've never done wiki articles before) and maybe sort you out with a little Premium time for your troubles.

I agree. I switched from Nexus to the Workshop when it was released, because I thought now that there's an official place to go for Skyrim modding, people will start converging there and taking their mods there. But I quickly returned here. Mostly because I do not want to let go of the control I have over the mods I installed. Sometimes an update is buggy and I prefer to wait until it is fixed to update, or I don't like the features of that particular update and prefer to keep the old file. And there are mods that require installation of only some features and I don't even know how that works on Steam. Not to mention load order.
And I am most definitely not a serious modder
And browsing for stuff on the Steam Workshop is a headache! Very slow for me and I don't like how it's set up. But that is just an inconvenience.
