Some mods do not compress their resource files into BSA format. This will ensure the resource files are properly removed.
#Nexus how to manually install mods skyrim mod#
Whenever you update a mod that adds NPCs to the game, you should go into an interior cell with no NPCs, and make a new save game, before you update.ģ) Using your mod manager, uninstall the old version of the mod you are updating. Some mods require elaborate updating procedures because they are 'script-heavy.' 'Inconsequential NPCs' is not one of those mods, so you would update 'Inconsequential NPCs' the same way you update most mods (meaning that these steps will apply to most mods, unless the mod author specifies otherwise).ġ) Whenever you update a mod that adds NPC followers/hirelings, you should release those followers/hirelings if you have recruited any, before you update the mod. Then perhaps one day, Steam will get the message, and stop treating their users like morons. Therefore, I -strongly- advise switching to one of the aforementioned mod managers to exclusively handle your mod installation. You are actually better off manually installing mods than using the 'Steam Workshop Subscriptions.' You might be new to modding, and not know enough about basic modding practices, but that does not mean you are a moron.
It will automatically update mods you subscribe, without your consent, and 'unsubscribing' a mod will not automatically remove it from your game installation (thus leaving those 'orphan' files in your game data folder). By 'mod manager', I mean either the 'Nexus Mod Manager', the 'Mod Organizer', or 'WryeBash/BAINS.'The 'Steam Workshop Subscriptions' is not a 'mod manager.' It is an insult to mod users because it treats mod users as morons. If you have more than 5 mods in your load order, then you should use a mod manager to handle mod installation. This is going to seem elementary to many Skyrim mod users, but I constantly see 'halp me!' requests in the Skyrim technical support and troubleshooting forums from users who do not know these things. Seeing that an update is coming soon, and I am waiting on some resource files, I figured I'd take this time to provide some basic advice on how to properly install and update mods for Skyrim.
