Problem: Attempting to install a downloaded mod file produces a "None of the available installer plugins were able to handle that archive. Probable Cause 1: The downloaded file is corrupt. General Solution 1: Re-download the file.
General Solution 2: Unfortunately there is a problem with the 7Zip library supplied by 7Zip and it refuses to manage that compression method. The only recourse is to manually unpack the archive, the 7Zip Manager does handle this archive properly, and repack it using another compression method. This association, unfortunately, is all encompassing and steals the association from Nexus Mod Manager.
If you are using Nexus Mod Manager to manage other games that MO does not support you cannot use the download with manager button as it is associated with MO. The solution to this problem is provided in the ModOrganizer folder in the form of a program called nxmhandler.
This little program will allow you to associate another application to handle nxm links alongside MO. To set up an association to another game and another MO do the following:. The Mod Exists dialog box appears whenever you try to install a mod with the same name as an existing mod.
This normally occurs when installing optional files for mods or updating a mod. The Merge button typically should be chosen when installing optional files that are add-ons to the mod.
This simply adds the files to the existing mod, overwriting any existing files. The Replace button generally should be chosen when upgrading a mod to a new version containing all required assets. This deletes all files in the mod and installs the new files in its place. The Rename button allows you to install the mod under a different name , allowing you to keep the file contents separate from the main mod, or enabling you to install different versions of the same mod.
The Cancel button stops installation. Ticking the Keep Backup checkmark in combination with either the Merge or Replace options will create a backup of the mod before installing the file. To restore the backup:. When you open most archives, the Name box will show you the name of the mod as parsed from the meta info collected when it was downloaded.
If no meta info was collected, it will display the filename of the archive minus the appended Nexus ID and version number. You can rename the mod to anything you desire or keep the name. To speed up the naming process, you can click the down arrow which will present a drop-down box with suggestions of other names based on other mods you've installed sharing the same Nexus ID, the name of the mod archive itself, the name of the mod archive with the Nexus ID and version number attached, and the actual name of the mod from the Nexus.
Mod archives are packaged in three different ways that MO currently supports:. If the archive is not packaged in any of the first three ways, it will open the manual installation dialog. Please note:. Any mod can be installed manually; it just takes a lot of work. You must read the mod's installation instructions to determine what files you need to put where. Most of the time, however, manual installation within MO's manual installation dialog is quite simple.
When the manual installation dialog comes up, the first thing you should notice is the red text in the bottom left corner that says No game data at top level.
The first time this happens, a little tutorial should appear and guide you through the manual installation workflow. Once the message at the bottom corner turns to a green Looks good , pressing OK will install the mod. Most of the time when the manual installation dialog comes up, you'll see a data folder and a readme.
In these cases, most of the time you can simply right-click the data folder, select Set data directory and install. If you set the wrong directory, simply right-click and select the Unset data directory option. Some archives may be more complex, and you may have to move files around into a common data directory to correctly install.
Read the installation section and readmes to find out what goes where. You can open an included readme by right-clicking and selecting Open. You can create new folders within the manual installation dialog by right-clicking the directory level you want to place the folder and selecting Create directory. Some mods may require many directories to be created to place the file in the correct path.
If you mess up, you can always modify it in the installed mod's Filetree tab. You can move files around within the manual installation dialog by dragging and dropping them within the appropriate directory. The simple archive is naturally the easiest to install and thankfully is the most common. It presents you with a Quick Install window with only three options. The Manual button will open up the manual installation dialog.
The OK button will install the mod. The Cancel button will cancel installation and close the dialog. Check the options that you need referring to the installation instructions on the mod's page or an included readme and click OK to install. The Package. It will be greyed out if one does not exist. C fomods will launch the external installer plugin , which will initially extract the files while presenting you with a window stating that it is running the external installer, and then finally present you with the installation dialog.
Simply follow the wizard's instructions to install the mod. Most of the time, you can simply follow the wizard instructions and everything will install correctly. However, sometimes one of the installation plugin may install the mod incorrectly, and then you may have to resort to an alternate installation method. It is recommended to re-enable the internal plugin to restore default behavior after successful installation of the problematic mod.
This may be done by setting the prefer value back to true. For the Fallout games, install FOMM to the game directory in order for Mod Organizer to automatically add it to its list of executables. It may also be added manually by following the instructions in the Third Party Programs chapter. Any mod that needs to recognize already existing mods can only do so when the VFS is active. As this is not the case when MO installs mods you will need to use the above method to install it correctly.
Doing so will construct the VFS with all the currently active mods installed in their correct place. The newly installed mod will 'see' these mods and make the correct choices. Most notably these mods include HUD style mods that modify the menu files based on what is installed. Despite lack of integration, Steam Workshop mods are not difficult to install into Mod Organizer.
To update a mod from Steam Workshop in Mod Organizer, you must repeat the process again, removing the old version. To check mods for updates, right-click within the Left Pane and select Check all for update. The success or failure of detecting all updates is dependent upon correct meta info for your mods i. Also, some mod authors use strange version systems that Mod Organizer may not detect. For this reason, it is wise to Track all your installed mods on the Nexus so you can refer to the tracking center for mod updates.
To update a mod, download the new archive and install it to the same mod it was installed last time, replacing if it is a full replacement of the mod or merging if it only updates certain files within the mod. Make certain to assess any new file conflicts and prioritize accordingly see the Priorities chapter. To uninstall a mod only from a given profile, simply uncheck it in the Left Pane.
To uninstall a mod from all profiles, right-click the mod in the Left Pane and select Remove. The removed mod will be deleted to the Recycle Bin.
In the event that the removal was an accident, going into the Recycle Bin and restoring the mod folder will restore it to Mod Organizer. However, it will be treated like a new mod, being unchecked and last in priority. Once a mod is installed in the Left Pane , it needs to be enabled and any plugins activated in order for it to show up in game.
To enable a mod, simply tick its checkbox in the Left Pane for your current profile. It will be enabled only for your current profile. If you see a lightning icon in the Flags column, some of the mod files conflict with one of your other enabled mods.
Go to the Priorities tab to learn how to resolve conflicts in the manner you desire. Once the group of mods is selected, hit Spacebar to toggle the state of those mods.
Once a mod is installed and enabled, any plugins that the mod contains needs to be activated for them to show up in game. To activate a mod plugin, go to the Plugins tab in the Right Pane , find the plugins you desire to activate and tick their checkboxes. Priorities is a concept developed by Mod Organizer MO to manage conflict resolution between mod files.
This eliminates many of the traditional functions of replacing other mod files with another mod's files by instead arranging it so that mods in higher priority overwrite mods in lesser priorities without actually replacing the other mod files.
Every time you install a mod, it automatically gains highest priority and will provide all conflicting files once enabled. The higher the priority number, the higher priority is given to the mod. If you wish another mod to provide the conflicting files, you must either drag and drop that mod into the higher priority position or drag and drop the freshly installed mod into a lower priority position.
Alternatively you can click the mod's priority number, hit F2, change it to a different priority number, and hit enter. Most times, changing priorities will be all the conflict resolution you will need. Nevertheless, advanced mod users may desire more advanced control on conflict resolution. If you have two mods that overwrite different files from each and you prefer some from both, you can Hide the files from the mod you do not want to provide the files to cause the other mod's files to be used.
This may be accomplished in either the Conflicts or the Filetree tab within the Mod Information window by right-clicking the file to be hidden and selecting Hide. Hiding a file appends a ". BSA files are archives that contain assets including textures, meshes, sounds, and scripts.
Traditionally you can not control priority between BSAs and loose files that is: assets that came as individual files as BSAs were always overwritten. Therefore, if you wanted to use files from a BSA to overwrite files from a mod that came as loose files, you would have to delete the conflicting loose files manually.
Mod Organizer MO adds a feature that changes this. This means that you can, for example, load the Skyrim High Resolution Texture Pack by checking the BSAs and unchecking the plugins, effectively saving you three plugin slots. MO's BSA management however, makes mod priorities more important. If asset conflicts are not handled correctly, problems may ensue. They will be prefixed with: Unmanaged:.
This enables proper conflict resolution even though some assets where installed outside of the MO program. Unofficial Skyrim Patch must be in a lower priority than Dragonborn for this to be fixed. The user should load the Non-MO mods to as low a priority as possible while maintaining proper conflict resolution. A good guide to this is observing your load order.
The DLCs and any mods loaded between them should generally mimic this load order in order for the correct assets to be used. Sometimes the toolbar will show the warning icon to indicate there are issues with the order of mods in the Left Pane. Clicking that icon will show the 'Problems' that need to be addressed and highlighting the 'Potential Mod order Problem' in the top panel will show a description of the needed changes in the bottom panel similar to the image at the right.
It is generally the best option to just click Fix and let Mod Organizer reorder those mods, however if you have made a large number of changes or even a wholesale reinstall of ALL your mods, you may want to try sorting them manually first. If you choose to manually reorder these mods try working from the bottom up of the listed mods as this may also eliminate some of the same conflicts for higher listed mods.
As the dialog box shows, and the title of this page indicates, these are potential problems. This feature of Mod Organizer is akin to a reminder of the instructions that might be seen on the mod authors' pages about which mod to install and in which order.

Posted June 8, In the case of Mod Organizer, if you want to save files in the overwrite folder ensure you either create a new mod or add them to an existing one. You should also ensure you have enough Hard Drive storage to duplicate both your installed mods and download folders into Vortex.
The migration copies the data and does not remove it from your old manager. Download Vortex and install it onto your PC. Then login to your Nexus Mods account. It works fine for Gopher. It instantly downloads them and thats it.
I am also using Firefox and i completely disabled NoScript and i already checked the Allow Nexus Links in the installer for MO and the mod i am trying to install is RaceMenu although, it gave me the same error with every other mod EDIT: I can download the mod files manually in Nexus and then install them with MO through the archives but i still want the easier way.
