While it’s taken quite some time, we’re finally ready to release support for No Man’s Sky in our Nexus Mod Manager.
Due to the complex nature of modding NMS, we hired on the help of modder “ObsidianMinor” early on in the process and his understanding of the more complex nature of No Man’s Sky’s modding systems has helped immensely. Obsidian has been the real brains behind the effort and has done almost all the real grunt work in this implementation. Our thanks go out to Obsidian for his long hours of work trying to come up with the best way to support NMS mods within NMM.
Like all games we support within the Nexus Mod Manager, you can now download and install mods straight from Nexus Mods using a simple click of a button. Our NMS implementation will allow you to install packed mods (paks) as well as NMS extensions. You can also clear your shader cache, if you need to or a mod requires it, from within NMM. You can do this by clicking on the “tools” button at the top and the option should be there to “Clear shader cache”.
We’ve programmed in the ability to change your mod load order from within NMM itself. If two mods you’re using, _mod.A and _ mod.B, contain the same file then _mod.A will load first because it comes before B in the alphabet. This also works with numbers, so we put a number after the underscore so the game loads lower numbered games first.
All mods in NMM start with no position in load order. You can move your mods up and down the load order at any time by clicking on the green up and down arrows on the left side of the main manager window. If you move mods in the load order that are already installed, you apply the new load order by clicking the save icon under the green down arrow.
Finally, you can launch the game from within the Nexus Mod Manager, and if you have No Man’s Sky Extender installed, we even have options to run the game with NMSE enabled.
While NMM can do a lot of things, there’s a few things it cannot do.
We dabbled (for a long time) with trying to make the mod manager work with unpacked files as well as packed files. This was because when NMS modding first began, there was a bit of a divide in the mod author community about what the best method was for mods. It looks like packaging mods won out, and hardly any mods are now released unpacked. As such, NMM only supports packed mods. Unpacked mods will need to be packed again manually by the user before they will work in NMM.
Similarly, NMM will not do any unpacking or save management at this time.
We’re all very happy to finally get this build out to the general public and I hope that it comes of use to those of you who are looking for an easier way to manage your No Man’s Sky mods. Please remember that NMM is in perpetual beta at this time, and to report any bugs you find in our bug tracker.
You can download the latest version of NMM, with the NMS support included, from our download page.

There are many promising mods that make this game the title it was rumored to be...with the exception of multiplayer. More mods will make this game something people will want to play.
It was never meant to be multiplayer and that's why I love it.

I'm all for it. I've always thought NMS has got heaps of potential. Didn't really harbor much hatred for the game maybe because I didn't have high expectations of it (not the same way as I have for Star Citizen) But yea heaps of potential nonetheless. Salute to Nexus Mod to even think of doing this!

While I'm disappointed with NMS all the anger about it is extremely childish - it's just a game, ffs. Personally I'd like to thank the Nexus team for their hard work in creating a mod system. NMS's gameplay is severely hamstrung, but I believe a good modding community could do something to revive it in the long term.
I share everyone's frustrations, but the hate bandwagon is kinda pathetic.

Sure, it wasn't what everybody expected (I've never been so glad that I didn't pre-order or buy the game at release lol) but it still has masses of potential. If they stick to what is planned, it will be a bloody great game. Just have to wait, is all.

A waste of time. This game is not worth any effort. Modifications will not help ...

Trying to mod NMS is a waste of time, but complaining about it endlessly isn't? C'mon now...

Probably the least of the games that require NMM support.. Seeing how things are with Hello Games I doubt this was a time well spend.

Considering how hostile the community around this game is it may not be the best option.

Agreed. The fanbois in their community make the fanbois here seem like open-minded pragmatists.
I'm just not sure how much No Man's Sky is going to benefit from a bunch of waifu follower in skimpy armor mods.

Shame I got it for PS4. But still it's pretty much a dead horse now. Mods could maybe make it more star wars like. Moving npcs lol. No f-ed up looking monsters that don't make sense at all lol. Hopefully mods can save this thing.

Maybe this will breathe some new life into it? the number of people playing at the moment is 690, that's terrible for a newer title that sold in the numbers it did.
Despite all the work and content that can be found in the game, there are ways to alter the gameplay in efficient and creative ways. That's why you can add mods to No Man's Sky and these are our recommendations.
how do i add a new game to nexus mod manager? Open NMD and you'll see on the upper righ corner a "Change Game Mod" button, click it. PS: You'll also have to rescan for games if you didn't have NV the first time you did the scan.
When using any third-party cheats or mods there is always a chance of being banned unless the game developer has explicitly said that it is safe to do. Generally, there is very little risk as WeMod does not support multiplayer game modes and does not condone attempting to cheat in these game modes.
panzu originally took down the mod due to confusing nature of Sky as a character resulting in NSFW art being made of her, being unhealthy for her owner to see along with the death threats that resulted because of it.
A lot of modders are leaving Nexus because of some of the frankly unethical decisions they've made. The nexus has made a rather invasive u-turn of late when they should only just publish. They even insulted their own long-term users in the process.
The Core of the Issue: Nexus Mods banned modifications that aimed to remove They/Them pronouns from Starfield. This decision by one of the largest modding communities has sparked a debate about the limits of creative freedom and the role of modding platforms in shaping game content.
A full ban from the community is usually issued for serious or repeated breaches of our rules, but can also be used for additional reasons such as spam prevention. In most cases, the reason for a ban will be publicly visible in the Formal Warnings and Bans section of the forums.
Vortex is designed to seamlessly interact with Nexus Mods allowing you to easily find, install, and play mods from our site, learn about new files and catch the latest news.
If you do not use a mod manager you have to manually download and save your files to your hard-drive and then either manually extract files in the proper game directories, or use a mod manager to load the files. NMM takes care of all of this in the background, which really speeds up the modding process.
Related to How to Install Nexus Mods Ps5. This video goes out to the people who don't think you can use mod menus on Console. You can, but you do require a Jailbroken PS4, and second PS4/PS5, USB Drive, and a PC.
Well, Nexus Mod Manager isn't really a thing anymore, it's now Vortex. Next, you are going to pick one, not use both. They are different programs with the same function. Vortex is a bit sleeker and the UI feels a little flashier.
Vortex is more convenient when dealing with MOD conflicts or MOD coverage. In NMM, whenever you install a mod which is editing the same files as another mod, you will be presented with an override prompt upon installation.
In some cases, the Nexus Mod Manager won't open when the installed third-party antivirus software can block its files. To fix the issue, you can try disabling these third-party antivirus software or add the NMM files as an exception to the antivirus software.
Main thing to keep in mind with mods and multiplayer is that all of you playing together will need to have the same mods installed to see what the other person is seeing/doing if yoy've installed anything to do with things like expanding base building objects, changing terrain, adding new ships, etc.
No Man's Sky allows you as a player to explore not only the vast number of procedurally generated worlds, but it gives you a sandbox for infinite possibilities as a creative writer or roleplayer. The world of RPers in NMS is as varied as the space you explore as a player.
In a joint statement on the GOG.com forums, GOG and No Man's Sky developer Hello Games explained that while "the DRM-free edition of No Man's Sky will include all single-player content introduced by NEXT: third-person mode, upgraded visuals, better base building, player customization, and more," multiplayer will not be ...
