Discuss Skyrim and texture mods topics Question about texture modifications in Skyrim
I also started playing Skyrim this weekend, and after trying various texture mods, when I turned them off the saves worked just fine, which suggests NMM restores the previous textures.
To adjust Skyrim mods without causing issues when disabling, enabling, or changing their priority, use Mod Organiser rather than NMM.
NMM can restore files to their prior condition after removing a texture mod, but overlapping files where multiple mods replace the same one may cause issues during deinstallation. This usually happens if you don’t clear all relevant mods in the correct installation sequence. Mod Organizer avoids this problem and is why many prefer it over NMM.
It seems you're asking about a picture or detailed explanation, possibly related to an import process. You mentioned starting fresh after switching, which might mean clarifying what exactly you need help with.
MO automatically included the activated mods from NMM during installation.
Ensure your mods are handled by MO by re-downloading or relocating the original zip/rar package to MO’s download directory. Once correctly placed, you can install them and let MO oversee that instance. You’ll still need to manage the ones in NMM, as it affects MO’s control over load order. Note that NMM stores mods in your Skyrim data folder, while MO doesn’t—so any changes from NMM may run ahead of MO even when it’s inactive. In my experience, removing NMM was necessary, though it wasn’t easy. If you need assistance, migrating everything is better than starting over. Redownloading Skyrim is recommended since NMM alters original files, and retaining more mods increases the risk of complications. Keep in mind that most MO users went through these steps, and the 85k endorsements confirm its value. Watch Gophers videos mainly to become comfortable with MO’s interface.
