Nexus Mod Manager – Download, Install and Uninstall Mods Once you have configured the manager, you can add some mods to games. The interface would offer a list of categories with a zero sign.
Yes there is infact a better mod manager. This mod organized program doesnt put your mods directly into the game folder instead it holds all your mods in a seperate program so if anything goes wrong with a mod it doesnt infect your Skyrim game file. I have had the issue where i test a few mods out that leave errant files behind that after a time they will corrupt the game folder and i end up having to erase and reload my entire game so after the third time or so i had enough and made the switch to this.
It also works offline by default so no more waiting for five minutes for your mod manager to start so you can play your game. You can launch all your other Skyrim apps such as BOSS, Tes5Edit, FNIS, and SKSE from there as well.
It holds multiple profiles at once and remembers the mod list for each so you just select the game profile and the mod organizer turns on and off the mods connected to that profile. And NMM only holds 250 mods max, Mod organizer can hold over 8,000. Im not sure if i'll ever use that much but what the heck. Basically everything that NMM does wrong this mod organizer does right and since your not connected to nexus by the dangly bits your free to explore other modding sites as well.

Oh, and theres this as well a video series to explain how to get the mod organizer up and running and all the great things it can do for your game. Trust me, make the switch i only wish i had done earlier.
