Nexus Mod Manager is a Microsoft Windows application for downloading, installing, updating, and managing game modifications. The nxm file extension is associated with the archive files it handles.
An nxm file stores the files and related data for a mod. Nexus Mod Manager uses the archive as part of its mod-management process.
Open an nxm file with Nexus Mod Manager on Microsoft Windows. The application is intended to install and manage the mod archive.
There is no way to convert nxm files to other formats.
To use the contents in another mod manager, extract or install the archive with a compatible tool and follow that manager's requirements. This changes how the mod is installed rather than converting the nxm file itself.
