Nexus-Mod-Manager VS Unverum

Nexus Community Mod Manager - https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases (cause Vortex is the devil)

That said, if MO2's different sort of relationship to third party programs like FNIS or DYNDOLOD gets overwhelming: NMM still exists as open source software and still gets updates. If you use the current version, it's not nearly as out of date or featureless as people tend to assume.

I’m tired of people who’ve never used NMM-CE (the latest version on github) complaining about how bad it is.

Getting set up for the first time is admittedly a bit of a hassle. I use Nexus Mod Manager to install mods because it's quick and easy. Other people use Vortex or Mod Organizer which you can find with an internet search. My experience with those two mod managers is limited.

disclaimer: I can't stand Vortex, it's insanely overcomplicated in my opinion. MO2 is better. and, I'm the only person who thinks so, but Last weeks release of Nexus Mod Manager - Community edition is simplest and best. idiots who have never used it, or used it 5 years ago, will talk shit about it all day long.

You're prob. going to need the following mods to get the game playable and stable. You can use NMM Community Edition like me, found at https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager, or use whatever NexusMods is pushing these days.

Or NMM-CE

There’s this link that has a download link at the top that isn’t github. Then as to actually using GitHub if you want to know for future use, I think it should be at the bottom underneath assets generally with the name of whatever you’re downloading rather than the source code files. Here’s a picture I took. Then here’s the GitHub link. Lastly there’s this video which goes through the process really fast

I've been meaning to look into Unverum. It's open source already, but it's windows-specific. It does work in Linux via Wine, but only barely functions. Was a huge pain to get it running, and it crashes frequently, uses tons of CPU..
