Security update for Nexus Mod Manager
NMM has been "end-of-line" since 2016, which means we no longer provide any official support for the software, but we thought it was prudent to spend the time and money to release this update so our users could continue to use the software's online services while ensuring we're compliant with the new regulations. We also did not want people to think we were using the GDPR as an excuse to force people on to our new mod manager, Vortex, either. The alternative was to simply turn off the old services completely, essentially making NMM, and any other software using our old login services, offline only.
To prevent any drama with this process, we've even patched up version 0.52.3 of NMM (the last version before the profile functionality was added) so there are no complaints.
In order to be compliant, we need to turn off our old, less secure login to the web services completely. We plan to do this on Tuesday the 8th of May. This will mean anyone who does not update their NMM will no longer be able to use NMM online. This will prevent you from being able to login, check for new file versions or download mods from the site directly in to NMM. This will also affect any other software that uses the old login destination and method, for example, Mod Organizer. We do not officially support Mod Organizer, nor is it made, updated or maintained by us, so any updates needed to ensure it works with our new login service will need to be handled by the team behind Mod Organizer. If you are currently a coder with software making use of the old Nexus login system, please do get in contact via PM or Discord and I will put you through to the appropriate person to help you get on to the newer system as soon as possible.
For convenience, both updated versions of NMM can be found on a new file page setup to make this a little easier. Remember, download 0.65.0 if you are using a version of NMM that is 0.60.x or later. Download 0.52.4 if you are using version 0.52.3 of NMM.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused, but it's 8 year old code now and, at some point, this was going to happen!

In between Release 0.72.3 released on 23 Oct 2020
works for me - release note is HERE and downlod is HERE
Â
This worked for me after hours of searching for a fix, I tried multiple peoples suggestions and this worked for me - 2021
Re Mod Organizer "update", dated May 12, 2019. After applying the MO update:
1. All of my mods have been alphabetized (left pane) AND unchecked. Selecting the Priority column, merely rearranges everything into two alphabetical lists, differentiated by apparently random criteria.
2. All of my Nexus mods are Flagged "Not Endorsed Yet". Mods from other sources do not have any Flags.
3. Right-pane is empty, as none are checked in left pane anymore, except for Dragonborn, HearthFires, Dawnguard, the three HiResPacks and one, unmarked, quest.esp
4. Under MO's Configure Plugins and Workarounds, Nexus tab, NO Known Servers (updated on download) are present, despite several restarts, so I cannot select a Preferred Server.
I don't know your skill level, so apologies if this is too much info.
The Mod Organizer developers have released a patch that makes this unnecessary. Click here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194?tab=files and scroll down a little until you see "Miscellaneous files", and under it "Mod Organizer 1 Legacy" and a light blue check mark next to it. Click the words "Mod Organizer 1 Legacy", and the box will expand. Then click "Manual Download" and wait for your web browser to download it. Open the file called "Mod Organizer 1 Legacy-6194-1-3-15.zip" and you should see a list of files. Press (on your keyboard) CTRL and A at the same time, and it will select all of them. Then press (again on your keyboard) CTRL and C to copy them. Then go to where you have installed Mod Organizer (most likely C:\Program Files (x86)\Mod Organizer or C:\Games\Mod Organizer ) and press CTRL and P to paste them. Say "yes" or "overwrite" if it asks you. Then you're done!
That helped me to get the new version set up to Mod Organizer Classic v1.3.15 (Not logged in)
I had previously tried check updates and had all mods endorsed but come up with the not endorsed symbol.
With the new right click commands of MO that I can use on all mods in my left pane and select endorsed ...
it will give me an error message saying invalid user. Whereas if I click visit on nexus the link takes me to nexus showing that I'm logged in
and shows that I have endorsed the mod.
I can also right click and select won't endorse and clear the endorse symbol however that is covering up that Mod Organizer considers me not logged in.
I had previously amended the hosts file in c:windows\system32\drivers\etc to contain the line
77.72.3.39 nmm.nexusmods.com # legacy-api.nexusmods.com
I can download mods from nexus and add them to my game and then endorse those mods just that I cannot get MO to consider older mods as endorsed when they clearly are at nexus. Nor can I get the MO logged in heading.
Any helpful ideas?
you read the first line of that message only.
the second line is the link to
https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases
from where you can download the last version
77.72.3.39 nmm.nexusmods.com# legacy-api.nexusmods.com
in your HOSTS file will fix the MO Issues.
opened mod organizer and it signs me in, no problem! thanks and kudos to you & andarus2!

Is there a reason that I should do something other than this?
It is an extra couple of steps but it appears to me that it is probably the best option at the moment.
Will I regret it later?
Why was Vortex created? To piss off veteran modders.

That site is legit as it can be, for those who might be afraid. Works like a charm!
Apart from that, it functions flawlessly and runs really smooth.
