I like Skwasjer's idea too. The best of both worlds. And that's also why I haven't voted. I like the mods and their backups to remain in the individual game folders. But I like a single JSGME application that administrates those MODS-folders.

I cant imagine the grief that would unfold if the drive containing the 'MegaMotherload'-Mods folder would crash. That would kill (or atleast allow no further mod-changes to) all games that get modded files from there. And would take longer transfer-wise if the files had to be moved between 2 physical harddrive units. (and more chance of curruption) Or in a Bernard-moment I put mod-files from one game accidentally into anothers mod-area.

The size of the JSGME application (the odd 500kb or so) is of no issue to me in this day and age of plenty of GBs. But needing to remember which game uses a JSGME application or has not, maintaining easy accessible shortcuts to all those individual JSGME exes, has prevented me from making more use of it.

Centralise mod-management (just the application), but seperate mod-storage/backup.
