I heard the new Nexus Mod Manager has issues

[shortylickens]

but I need the latest version to make it work with Fallout 4.

Should I upgrade or just use another mod manager for Fallout 4?

What issues? I haven't had any to date...

EDIT: It seems to be broken. (Wasn't last night WTF)

EDIT 2: NM. Had to uninstall and reinstall, was totally hanging

Problem I had (and for which they were taking some well-deserved heat) is that they switched modes to make it more like Mod Organizer without notifying people what was going to happen. When you downloaded the new version thinking it was merely the minor upgrade its numbering suggested, it gave you a choice of uninstalling all your existing mods or migrating, and migrating did not work for most people. At that point, the only option was to uninstall the new version and manually re-install the old version. There is a roll-back option, but it wasn't working for many people, leaving them back at square one. Luckily it did work for me, but I'm not taking the chance that happens again. For Fallout 4 it might be all right - surely they took enough flaming (including death threats!) to not make that same mistake, and you won't have dozens of carefully installed mods and blended patches for them to nuke as with older games.

I haven't tried the Nexus Mod Manager for Fallout 4 but the new one (current version) worked just fine (migrated) for Skyrim, FO3 & FONV without any fuss.

Mod Organizer is far better than NMM. The 64bit version is apparently in the works for FO4.
