If you wish to use MO in portable mode, choose Portable and skip to step 4.

General setup instructions for both methods are as follows: Step highly recommends 'instanced' installation (see the sidebox).

Mod Organizer (MO) can be installed in two modes: portable or instanced.

#HOW TO USE FNIS WITH NEXUS MOD INSTALL#

Fortunately, all of the potential issues can be easily avoided by understanding the differences between portable and instanced install methods. Since the portable approach has existed far longer than the newer instanced approach, it is generally more compatible OOtB with third-party software. Unfortunately, due to there being these two different methods of installing MO, mod utility developers often design their utilities to only work with the method that they install MO. Clicking on the button allows switching instances. Instances allow everything to be partitioned and independent, which mimics the 'portable' installation methodology without the multiple (and redundant) MO installations. This essentially combines mods from each build into a single mod list, adding a lot of 'noise' in the form of mods that will never be enabled. This is a significant limitation when one attempts to manage two completely different mod builds for the same game. While normal MO Profiles allow independent management of game configuration (INI) files, enabled mods, enabled plugins, mod prioritization, etc., they each pertain to the same game and each share the same mod list. Think of instances as an extension to MO's profile system in that the instance acts as a completely independent 'profile' that applies to a specific game (and/or a specific mod list for the same game). Data for each instance is stored under %LocalAppData%/ModOrganizer. With instanced installation, only one installation of MO is necessary to manage mods pertaining to multiple games and/or mod builds within the same game. There are no known issues with this installation method, and the only drawback is that the user must install multiple copies of MO in order to manage different games (and different mod lists within the same game. Some users prefer this method over instances, since this is how MO has historically worked. With portable installation, the user must install a copy of MO for each individual game they want to manage. Mod Organizer (MO) can be used in two different modes: portable or instanced. Install MO outside of UAC-controlled directories! Failing to do so can cause MO, and most other modding tools, to fail due to a lack of permissions.

Follow the installation instructions below.

If so, users can add an exclusion for the file and try again.

If the installer fails to run, check to ensure an installed antivirus is not blocking the executable.

A User Account Control (UAC) message may appear, in which case click the button to continue.

Two installation options are available as follows: Mod Organizer (MO) can currently be downloaded from two different locations: Nexus Mods and Github.

Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition.

#HOW TO USE FNIS WITH NEXUS MOD ARCHIVE#

GUI support for manual mod repackaging and installation.

Nexus integration for easy mod downloads and mod updates.

BSA unpacking (Bethesda games only) via the BSA Extractor plugin.

Load (plugin) order management (for applicable games).

Profiles (ability to switch between different mod configurations seamlessly).

Mod isolation (game directory is kept clean).

Since then, several members of the modding community have stepped in to continue development (the birth of 'Mod Organizer 2', which Step refers to as simply 'Mod Organizer' or 'MO'). Mod Organizer was initially developed by Tannin before he retired as the lead MO creator/developer to became the lead developer of 'Vortex' (by Nexus Mods). This makes enabling and disabling mods very simple and clean and without potential for breaking other mods or the game itself. It relies on a virtual file system (VFS) to deploy mods during runtime, which preserves the integrity of all assets in the game's 'real' file-system. Mod Organizer (MO) is an open-source program designed to simplify the installation and management of mods and modding tools for beginners and experts alike. Step does not distinguish between the two. This guide pertains to Mod Organizer in its most contemporary state, which today is officially 'Mod Organizer 2'.
