Description ----------- TesModManager is a new version of OBMM Extended that supports Skyrim SE, Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind. I renamed it TesModManager for this reason.

TesModManager is a modified version of OBMM extended that adds Skyrim support to the classic Oblivion Mod Manager. With 7,900 endorsements and 228,797 downloads, it's a popular utility for managing mods across multiple Bethesda games, though it hasn't been updated since 2019.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 7,900 endorsements — clearly a trusted tool.
- One manager for multiple Bethesda games: Skyrim, Skyrim SE, Oblivion, and Morrowind.
- Huge download count (228k) shows it's been widely used over the years.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — may have compatibility issues with newer game versions or mods.
- Based on an older mod manager, so it might lack modern features like auto-sorting or integration with current modding tools.
For veteran modders who remember OBMM and want a familiar interface to manage mods across multiple Bethesda titles. Also for players who prefer a lightweight, standalone manager without the bloat of newer tools. Skip if you need up-to-date support for the latest Skyrim updates or want a more modern mod manager like Mod Organizer 2.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a standalone executable, you can run it directly without a mod manager — just download and extract to a folder.
- If you're using Skyrim SE, make sure your game version is compatible with the 2019 build; newer updates might cause issues.
- For load order management, consider using this alongside a tool like LOOT to sort plugins, as TesModManager may not have advanced sorting.
