Nexus has some really neat mods, and I strongly suggest learning to use them. That said, many mods which are uploaded in both places have a catch.

This doesn't mean they are better or worse. Nexus mods are often unable to be uploaded here due to file size or content type. Mods are not plug and play, Steam Workshop does a great job of fooling you into thinking it is, Nexus is a reminder that it isn't. This is why I always download the mods manually, and then add them to the NMM.

I would scan em for viruses there have been a couple instances of ppl uploading malware onto the Nexus it is rare, but it has happened. Some of them are dodgey and yes, they are just as safe as Steam Workshop mods. I use Nexus for all my mods Why do you think Nexus is dodgy? Zloth View Profile View Posts. While you're at it google and download BOSS better oblivion sorting software though it works for skyrim as well as it moves your mods around for you to give the best compatability between mods. You can download the mods manually and install or use the Nexus' 3-rd party program Nexus Mod Manager or NMM for short to do it all for you. I use the Nexus only for my mods never had issues. I've already used some Workshop mods because I trust Steam lol but I just wanna know if there's any potential damage I might do to my game by using mods from a third party website? And do I need to download anything special to use those mods? Showing 1 - 15 of 41 comments. View mobile website.Home Discussions Workshop Market Broadcasts.

However I would recommend it for sorting the mods load order and handling overwriting files, it does that very well. So I wouldn't recommend using it for installing mods, use WryeBash instead it's also necessary for it's BSA redirection feature. Vortex was made around newer installer formats FOModsome newest Oblivion mods sometimes use that. For example if the mod's page offers download for an: Installer version, like omod or bain installer or Manual Instalation version Then for Vortex you download the manual version, open it with 7zip, check if it has optional folders inside like optional texture variations etc.

This can be avoided by using manual installation version of a mod. It can entirely handle installing and sorting mods for Oblivion. After that they've released Vortex how does it handle mods? I've seen that Nexus Mod Manager works bad with oblivion. Home Discussions Workshop Market Broadcasts.
