My opinion, first of all if you don't want to MESS UP with original profile create a copy of the profile in MO2, so now you can work on a profile without messing up the original, Second you don't need to delete a mod, you can just disable the mod paying attention to what is connected, if you delete the mod you will delete it permantly, basicly you will break nolvus mod list. Instead if you disable on a profile it will be not used in that profile, i would suggest manually download and then add it via MO2

How would you add loose .esp files? Cheat Room is no longer on Nexus Mods, but he has a github with the .esp file.

Thank you so much for this. It’s people like you who make clear, simple and easy tutorials that make the world a happier and stress free place. Much appreciated ❤

[@cl0nazpm]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is the first video that I came across with goes through this a little bit deeper. :)

[@ThunderTaco206]

You are a fucking legend! Thank you for this. It is clear, concise, and makes modding the modlist so much easier.

[@antoinetteanders3221]

Ty for your help and tutorials + cute accent. keep up the good work

[@Yeabu]

Got Any Preinstalled Mods You Deleted You Could Suggest ?

[@carltonhale6877]

I watched this video and I still want to know how do I add a mod to nolvus ascension.

[@chefffs]

watch it with your eyes open and take your hands off your ears.

[@hitbu9471]

I tried this, but when I download them like at 4:36, they don't show up in my Nolvus downloads, but they DO show up in Nexus downloads. (I already linked my Nolvus with my Nexus account like the video said to).

[@sevensixxtwo-l2r]

what's the funny lil song you got going in the background, it's perfect for messing around with shit that might break xd

[@kathari954]

Thanks mate! More thicc clothes for my character hehehe

[@nikirose7673]

What I'm struggling with is that Nolvus has a Synthesis patch which has loads of masters that I can see in xEdit. My problem is that Nolvus 5 doesn't have Synthesis itself installed, and if I add it myself then I have no idea what Synthesis patchers were used in creating the load order. Thanks for the vid by the way. I've yet to find a modlist that ticks all the right boxes for me for a prolonged playthrough, so I'm trying loads of them to see which are closer to what I want, and more tweak-friendly.

[@tommysandoval8198]

What mods to you think are safe to remove to make space for personal ESP mods?

[@Zuzu-TG]

The big questing mods you can easily get rid of aslong as you do not play on a safe that was already started with those mods, goed for most of them. You can delete a lot of mods tbh aslong as you start a new game after deleting them. You can delete most weapons&armor aswell but i would recommend checking out the Xedit to make sure that some weapons&armor is not replaced with vanilla items since it might fuck things up.

[@tommysandoval8198]

Thanks man. I'm trying to squeeze in 5 ESP mods that are not able to merge because they are script mods. This causing me to execute the frost spell and die and CTD. Able to start a new game but not load a save game. I'm very sure it's passing the ESM+ESP 255 limit. Just wondering if I can remove a few to get these in. I'll try that when I get home. Thanks man.

[@Mortian]

Some of the mods i add, dont load ingame. I don't know why, Its clearly activated in the plguins but still doesn't load. I tried Live Another life and Proteus and Pay your respect. They just don't wanna load.

[@Zuzu-TG]

Have you checked the installation page, maybe its the load order?

[@Constellasian]

If you haven't already, can you make a video on how to merge ESPs in Nolvus? I looked through your Nolvus videos and didn't see any on how to merge mods I added to Nolvus.

[@tommysandoval8198]

How can I add a script mod to the list? I tried and it went over the ESP limit. Started getting the spewing frost spell and CTD

[@Zuzu-TG]

Maybe see if you can remark/flag mods as ESL instead of ESP

[@Drag7on]

I have two version of Nolvus, one for automatic (I don't touch this). I'm running manual, were I can bake it in the list (this take some time and testing).

[@patyue5012]

Can you just untick them?

[@josephburdon7003]

Iv added afew cheat mods & 1 spell mod called Dark Envoy

[@LiamT636]

I'm pretty new to moding so excuse my lack of knowledge. when I launch the game I keep getting StrangeRunesPENotInstalled(4,5,2) and its caused a black screen every time I launch the game. Any advice for this?

[@Zuzu-TG]

Make sure you have papyrus extender installed (and the right version)

[@josephburdon7003]

thanks for the vid it helped but were would i put cheat mods like levelers tower

[@michaelnotaro3563]

Hi ! How do you skip the mod number limit of 255 ? I have try to add some mod to my Nolvus but game doesn't work because the limit...

[@Zuzu-TG]

change some of the mods to be flagged as ESL. here is a simple tutorial if you do not know how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5rcYZl_fcZ_bdk

[@michaelnotaro3563]

@@Zuzu-TG Thx for your answer, I have see the video you have linked to me. It's very interesting, but when I fly under the Nolvus files (I have the last version), lot of them are allready converted to esp. I don't know what are the mod I can change to esp without broke my instance. What are the ESP you have changed ?

[@tylerhayes7522]

A tremendous amount of help! Thank you good sir. So if I want to download LC_Noble house it would go under player homes on the left side under categories. And on the right side under priority does it matter as long as it is a lower priority than the FWMF mods?

[@Zuzu-TG]

Yes basically, just make sure the plugin is underneath FWMF.

[@jueviolegrace8737]

Can i make a request? Is it possible for you to show how to add race compatibility to nolvus? When i add it it messes up night vision and i dont know what to do and nobody in the nolvus forums will even acknowledge anything i ask no matter how respectfully or how many times.

[@Zuzu-TG]

i am not sure if i fully understand but i just installed race compat + Neko and everything including Night vision worked as it would regulary. i installed both mods and made sure to put the race compatibility mod at the bottom of ''1.1 SKSE Plugins'' and i put the added Race under ''5.10.1 NPC Rescources'' maybe see if this makes a difference. 😬

[@jueviolegrace8737]

@@Zuzu-TG thank you so much for responding. I'll try that once I get home

[@Zuzu-TG]

@@jueviolegrace8737 if it does not work, it might be the Race mod you added or a particular version but if i am honest my knowledge of race modding lets me down in this case 🙄😂
