The only thing that doesn't get updated with this method is shortcuts (like in your Start Menu). Very easy, minimal downloading of new files, so re-installing necessary.
This is the easiest way possible to do it: This way you don't have to hand-merge your plugins and pick the winning parts yourself.

The Bashed Patch further alleviates conflicts by intelligently merging records from your mods. In either case, eventually you will need Wrye Bash to create a Bashed Patch. BAIN will give you more information about what files are installed and if they are as expected, NMM will hide that from you in an effort to make a cleaner interface. So mixing the two will confuse each other. Both track the files in the data folder and check them against their list of what they expect there, based on what they have installed. Wrye Bash: Mod Manager, use it to install/uninstall mods.īe sure to only use NMM or Wrye Bash, not both (unless you keep specific track of those cases), to manage your mods. NMM also provides update/download abilities. This includes both plugins (ESPs and ESMs), as well as replacers and data files. NMM: Mod Manager, use it to install/uninstall mods. This is a much easier way than opening all the plugin files in TESSnip (TES5Edit eventually) to see what order they should be loading in - because the BOSS team has already figured that out for you. Either way, your best bet is moving your Steam install to something like C:\GamesīOSS: Will manage your load order for minimal conflicting of records. UAC will cause problems for any mod manager in this case - sometimes not always obvious, because it may work at first, then fail on specific files or specific folders. This still applies, as long as you have any OS later than XP.

I downloaded but didnt install WryeBash, mainly b/c it warned me about installing it into the Program Files directory. I do have SKSE and Dragonscripts already in my Skyrim directory, for whatever that's worth, and have installed BOSS and used it once to order my mods.

My goal is just to install and order the mods in the smoothest way possible.

It would be great if someone could provide a basic noobs guide to how to use the three in concert with each other, or if I only need one or two of them. Given the amount, I suspect that I will need to BOSS and/or Wrye Bash to order them correctly and handle any possible conflicts or redundencies (I am being careful not to install mods that achieve the same thing, but conflicts or redundancy does occur). I've downloaded and installed them using the Nexus Mod Manager. So from Skyrim nexus I've downloaded about 50 tweaks and mods that look helpful.
