Mod Organizer

IMPORTANT: This version of Mod Organizer is old. Newer versions are available on skyrimnexus and they should be compatible with Oblivion. Mod Organizer v0. 9. 3 Description: ------------ Mod Organizer (MO) is a tool for managing mod collections of arbitrary size. It is specifically designed for people who like to experiment with mods and thus need an easy and reliable way to get to install and uninstall them. MO has several unique features not found in any other comparable tool. Features: ---------

• [] Mods are kept completely isolated from each other -> no more messy data directory (1) [] Profiles (2) [] Drag&Drop load order AND installation order management [] Nexus integration for easy download, installation and update of mods [] GUI support for manual installers [] partial (?) compatibility with BAIN installers and ini tweaks [] Savegame viewer [] active required mods from save game [] Archive Invalidation [] Categorize mods for better overview (customizable) [] easy overview of file conflicts [] complete help system [] Supports Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout NV and Skyrim [] no installation, no dependencies. Just unpack and go [] localization (currently: german & spanish) [] automtic self-updates

ToDo: -----

• [] better handling of files created by external tools [] improved ini editor [] resume support for the download manager [] omod and fomod support [] speed up savegame viewer [] more localizations (if you\'re interested in helping, please contact me!)

Mod Isolation (1): ------------------ What mod isolation means is that each mod is installed into its own directory outside the actual data directory. Through some magic MO then shows the game (and any other 3rd party tool that works on the data directory) a \"virtual\" data directory that is a merger of the actual data directory and all the mod directories. This way no file ever get overwritten when you install a mod and your data directory can remain in a vanilla state. You can simply change the \"installation order\" of mods from the gui and deinstall or temporarily deactivate one without breaking other mods. Profiles (2): ------------- With MO, you can have different mods active in different playthroughs. You can consider the installed mods as a pool of mods and for each profile you can have a different set of them active. Disabled mods will not be visible to the game, as far as the game is concerned, they are not there at all. As an additional gimmick, you can set up a save game filter for each profile so that when started with that profile, only save games of the specified character are displayed in-game. NOTE: this save game filter is experimental. It may cause the game to create save-games with save-numbers that have already been used, but as far as I can see, that has no negative impact. Installation: ------------- Just drop
