Modwat.ch (Skyrim Mod Watcher)

The Modwatch API has been rewritten as of yesterday, 1/9/2019. So hopefully some of the issues you all have been having are resolved. If you were trying to post a larger load order (>1mb) and getting errors, you should be able to post them now. And if you're still having issues, be sure to try redownloading the latest version of the uploader. If you're not up to date, you may be trying to upload to the old url, which has been inactive for a while now.

Also, if you encounter errors, Ctrl+Shift+I will open devtools. If you want to contact me about a bug, any information there will be helpful.

Description

This is an executable that will upload your load order and ini files to modwat.ch, where it can be easily accessed and read by anyone. The site as well as the script are open source, and no information is stored other than your mods and username.

FAQ

Q: Is Modwatch still being maintained?

Short answer is yes. Long answer is sometimes I go on hiatus for a couple months (or years), so from time to time (like the past long while) Modwatch goes unmaintained. There is currently a Modwatch organization on Github where I'm migrating pieces of Modwatch as I get to them, so if you want to see if I'm actively developing, check those repos for activity.

Q: Is Nexus Mod Manager Supported?

Yes, NMM is supported as well as MO. The "Using NMM" button will attempt to read from the default directories that skyrim uses. The "Using MO" button means you will have to find the directory where mod organizer put your profiles.

Q: What about Vortex?

Not quite. But the wonderful nexus user "NotYourAverageGamer" has posted a workaround here that will suffice until I add official support.

Q: Can I run Modwatch from Mod Organizer?

Q: Do you like tacos?

I love tacos.

Q: Why does this even exist?

Occasionally, Skyrim players decide to download a mod. Then they decide to download another mod. Then ten hours later they've downloaded every single Trainwiz quest mod and Elianora house and boob physics mod they can find, and they wonder why their game won't start. So they go to a forum (hopefully /r/skyrimmods) and beg for help. Then they copy paste their 255 line plugins.txt into the comment box, unformatted, and expect someone to divine a solution from the ascii vomit that is their post. So instead of that nonsense, the fine folks at /r/skyrimmods (or wherever) can tell them to install Modwatch and press the big pretty button, and voila! All the relevant files on one page, in a legible format. Also one day I got bored and made a python script to share my modlist.
