📋 About This Mod
Main Features:
For the mod user:
- []Fail-Safe Mod Installs.
Don't worry if a mod install fails; FOMM cleans up after itself, preventing half-installed mods.[
]Mod Versioning.FOMM is able to upgrade mods without have to re-activate them, and without changing which mods overwrite which.[]Mod Reactivation
You can change the installation options of mods without have to reinstall them.
For the mod author and tinkerers:
- []Configurable Scripts
Control how your mod can be installed, and give your users choices. You can write powerful install scripts using the flexible XML Configuration scripts, the more powerful C# Scripts, or event the traditional OBMM/OMOD script language.[]Low-Level Editing Tools
FOMM still includes: TESsnip, BSA Creator/Unpacker, Shader Editor.
Note to Mod Authors:
FOMod scripts for FO:NV mods should derive from FalloutNewVegasBaseScript, instead of BaseScript. The functions in the scripting language have changed to reflect the differences between FO3 and FO:NV (for example, NVSE instead of FOSE). If your scripts don't derive from FalloutNewVegasBaseScript they will still work, but you won't have access to the new functions, and calling FOSE-related functions will cause your script to fail.
