FOMOD Designer

A visual editor to quickly create FOMOD installers for Nexus based mods.

If you’re new around here, head to the Getting Started page!

Main Features

  • No need to know XML - Use a simple node tree and/or the node wizards to navigate, create and modify your installer without having to know a single bit of XML syntax;
  • No need to know FOMOD by heart - The possible children nodes and all the options to customize each node are all laid out for you. The wizards include a small description to help you out at the top;
  • Includes all the features from FOMOD Validator - Validate and check for possible errors when loading and saving;
  • Faster and simpler workflow - With a very simple node tree to transverse instead of bulky documents you can save a lot of time and dedicate more to your content;
  • Don’t get lost in your own installer - With the ability to rename repeatable nodes (like the Pattern node) in-app with little to no interference in the final output you will no longer spend unnecessary time looking for the right tag to edit;
  • Don’t want it? Hide it - Spent lots of time in something you’re not sure you want to keep? Hide it instead of deleting it, the node and its children are still fully editable but won’t show up in the output, saving you the time of recreating everything later;
  • Preview your work - Whether you want to preview how the xml will look like or which files a certain install step will install, it has you covered;
  • Default them! - Let’s face it, everyone uses Explicit Installation Steps even though the default value is Ascending. Worry no more, there is an option for that;
  • Forgot the flags? - Auto-completers are included for flag labels and values, never mistype another flag;
  • Forget the path - No more need to guess at paths and path separators, all path fields have a little button to the right that will open a dialog to point to the file directly;
  • Hotkeys everywhere - Pretty much all actions have hotkeys associated with them, speed up that workflow;
  • Not a fan of hotkeys? - Don’t worry, we got your back, every action is stored in an easy to access menu, at the top or by right-clicking;
  • Customize - Almost everything in this app is customizable, check the Settings menu!
