The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.
Does anyone recommend the Nexus Mod Manager? Is it at all like the Oblivion/Fallout Mod Managers?
Nexus Mod Manager is great. But being in beta it's slightly buggy and the "Download with manager" option won't work for many mods so you have to manually place those mods in \Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\mods after that you have to use the "Get missing mod info" button. The main advantage is how it easy it makes it to uninstall and organize mods.

I manually download all mods, then make my own rar with the correct folder directory. NMM puts whatever is in the rar, zip whatever into the data folder. So if you make a rar with textures/whatever/whatever NMM will put that texture folder in the data folder and combine it if there is a texture folder already there. It may take some extra work up front, but there is always a mod that breaks the game for you.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one have some problems with the downloads. I also haven't been able to actually open it after the first few times, but that's why it's a beta.
