Since the portable approach has existed far longer than the newer instanced approach, it is generally more compatible OOtB with third-party software.
Fallout 2 installation directory install#
Unfortunately, due to there being these two different methods of installing MO, mod utility developers often design their utilities to only work with the method that they install MO. Clicking on the button allows switching instances. Instances allow everything to be partitioned and independent, which mimics the 'portable' installation methodology without the multiple (and redundant) MO installations.
Fallout 2 installation directory mods#
This essentially combines mods from each build into a single mod list, adding a lot of 'noise' in the form of mods that will never be enabled. This is a significant limitation when one attempts to manage two completely different mod builds for the same game. While normal MO Profiles allow independent management of game configuration (INI) files, enabled mods, enabled plugins, mod prioritization, etc., they each pertain to the same game and each share the same mod list. Think of instances as an extension to MO's profile system in that the instance acts as a completely independent 'profile' that applies to a specific game (and/or a specific mod list for the same game). Data for each instance is stored under %LocalAppData%/ModOrganizer. With instanced installation, only one installation of MO is necessary to manage mods pertaining to multiple games and/or mod builds within the same game. There are no known issues with this installation method, and the only drawback is that the user must install multiple copies of MO in order to manage different games (and different mod lists within the same game. Some users prefer this method over instances, since this is how MO has historically worked. With portable installation, the user must install a copy of MO for each individual game they want to manage. Mod Organizer (MO) can be used in two different modes: portable or instanced. Install MO outside of UAC-controlled directories! Failing to do so can cause MO, and most other modding tools, to fail due to a lack of permissions.
