And finally, the main profile is where we will install and enable all of our mods.

The testing profile will be configured the same as the main profile for the guide,īut will have all mods unchecked, allowing you to only activate certain mods for easy testing/troubleshooting. The default profile will stay completely untouched and act as a backup. In this step, we will setup a testing profile and a main profile. Mod Organizer 2's 'Profiles' feature allows for easy switching between different mod configurations. Then click Clear the read-only flag Creating Profiles Select Remember my choice from the drop-down at the bottom If at any point you get a pop-up called INI file is read-only, Once you authorize it, you can close out of your browser and of the MO2 settings.MO2 will open your browser and prompt you to authorize the connection.This option will not show up if you have already connected your Nexus account on a different MO2 instance.In the Nexus tab, select Connect to Nexus.In the Theme tab, you can select a different style from the drop-down menu at the top.Select the button at the top of MO2 to open the settings.The translation plugin must be deleted because it directly edits 1000s of records to change the language, which will cause many incompatibilities with most mods.

This pop-up will not show up if you have already registered a different instance of MO2.

From the pop-up called Register?, select Yes.

MO2 will launch and prompt you with a pop-up called Show tutorial?, in which you should select No.

This will not effect download/game performance,Īnd the downloads can be deleted after the mods have been installed. If you have MO2 installed on an SSD or a HDD with little space, you can check the Show advanced options boxĪnd change the Downloads file path to a different drive with more space.

On the next page, keep the Location file path default.

On the next page, select Create a portable instance.

You will be prompted with a pop-up called Creating an instance, in which you should just select Next.

Click Next until the installer finishes.

If you do know what is meant by 'default Windows folders', read the Installation Location section from the Initial Setup page.

Although it doesn't technically have to be installed on the same drive as the game, it is still recommended to install on an SSD if possible.

When prompted to choose an install location, pick any location outside of any default Window folders and outside of the game's Root folder.

Once the download has finished, run the installer.

Download the Mod Organizer 2 main file from here.
