      Quick question for you. Is there any drawback to playing a game from an HDD instead of our built-in SSD's? It looks like you put Skyrim into your Gaming drive which appears to be HDD.

      Hey man, is it alright if I ask a question? I managed to successfully install Viva New Vegas using MO2. And it worked great, for a time. I accidentally launched the game from Steam instead of MO2 and then everything broke. Any idea how to fix?

    Finally getting back into playing and modding Skyrim after several years away from it, and trying to come to grips with all the updates and a new mod organizer (MO2). Gotta say, your videos have been both enjoyable and enlightening and saved me what would have no doubt been weeks or months of trial-and-error mistakes, headaches, frustration, and probably endless rage quits. THANK YOU so much for all the work and knowledge you put into these vids!

Such an attention to detail with visual presentation, clear & crisp audio, organizing the backlog. I'm legit a tad disappointed that I'm done modding Skyrim (ty for the help btw) since it means I can't watch another one right now, but 100% getting that bookmark for when I'm looking for some insights next time.

    My Nexus gave me the red X years ago but I had a stable load of almost 200 mods still working. I couldn't alter them or update the organizer but I could play. I started playing it again about a week ago, which lead to watching Skyrim videos, which showed me what I was missing out on.
    Last night I got the soggy feet glitch at level 32 and I just couldn't continue with the game like that. I finally decided to do a full wipe and update.

    Hi there. I'm at a bit of a crossroads. Been playing starfield via xbox gamepass. Using vortex to manage the mods. Purchased the game for steam. No clear way to use vortex to manage both installations. Was a bit intimidated at the idea of MO2 to manage the steam install instead. Found this video and I have to say I'm so very impressed with the polish of this video. From the presentation of the steps to the editing to the voice and demeanor you project. Will look at your other videos as well. I may be using MO2 after all. Thank you for your work.

      80% sure a mod is causing the game to crash. This requires trial and error. Start with the basic mods essential for running and add about 5-10 mods (whatever you can remember) and see if the game runs. Do this until the game crashes, remember what mods you last installed and then check mod page for requirements. you may be missing something or the mod may not be compatible for some reason.

    I'm so glad I found this hidden gem! Nexus Mod Manager recently got abandoned in favor of Vortex, (which I'm not the biggest fan of its interface, tbh.) And like someone with bad memory, NMM is currently *forgetting* my Fallout 4 MCM, and numerous Sim Settlements 2-related mods. Playing FO4 without SS2 to me feels like being at an ice cream shop with no money, (sad AND demoralized.)

    Why did the Base Directory path change after you changed the Mods path?
