Nexus Mod Manager won't recognize Fallout New Vegas - Through glass of friendly young Asian head barista showing young cheerful African American female coworker how to use special program on laptop

I have trouble opening NMM for my New vegas game saying that it does not have the permission to write the game and I've been told that I should run as admin to open it, but :

  1. Can someone please explain it to me how to do it ?

  2. Also will this affect my Skyrim game as I've also have the game modded.



Best Answer

If you torrented the game, that would be the obvious issue. If not, though, try reinstalling it to the directory NMM looks for.

How do I mod Fallout New Vegas with Nexus Mod Manager?

Toront is right. The best mod manager for FNV is without a doubt Mod Organizer 2. It allows a bigger control over what mods you install, what overwrites what, etc. It also keeps your game files "clean" by using virtual folders, this means that it will not install the mods in the game's directories.

What mod manager should I use for Fallout New Vegas?

In some cases, the Nexus Mod Manager won't open when the installed third-party antivirus software can block its files. To fix the issue, you can try disabling these third-party antivirus software or add the NMM files as an exception to the antivirus software.

Why is my Nexus Mod Manager not working?

To activate and install a mod simply select the mod within the Mods tab and click the "Activate" button. To deactivate and uninstall a mod simply click the "Deactivate" button. You can also double-click the mod in the list to activate or deactivate mods.
