I realize, good ladies and sirs, that this topic has been posted by plenty before me, but I would rather have a discussion concerning my own issues with the topic instead of piggybacking on someone else's and not necessarily having my mind made up. So the question is, what's the best one to use? As far as I'm concerned they all have annoying drawbacks. Nexus Mod Manager looks nifty and would be seemingly great for me, as I primarily use the Nexus for mods...but as I think I've seen Lanceor say somewhere around here, NMM doesn't treat Oblivion well. I don't know why, but it's true for me. Some of them work, some of them don't work even when they should. (I am aware that the way some mods are packed prevents them from being installed properly by NMM...so shame on the uploaders for allowing NMM downloads!) Oblivion Mod Manager seems to be pretty useful, but I never could get myself to use it unless a mod I wanted only came in OMOD format, or something like DarNified UI that requires OBMM to install. It's just a hassle. I guess if I really wanted to use mods and make them work I'd get over it and force myself to be patient and use it. But still, the other two mod managers make things easier. Wrye Bash is my favorite, BAIN format my drug, but I have grown discontented with it as of late. With any significant amount of mods in my Bash Installers folder (by this I mean 15-20+ mods, some of which are rather large like Better Cities), it takes forever for the program to boot up and load the Installers page/section/thing. This in and of itself makes me shy away from using WB any longer. I've considered dividing up mods and using all three; BAIN mods in Wrye Bash, NMM mods (Oblivion Character Overhaul, for instance) in NMM, and anything else in OBMM. This would indeed be a hassle...but worth it. Thoughts? (Also, is there some way to speed up Wrye Bash?)
