Installing mods outside of Steam workshop?

[Ralkero]

I'm new here and I just start playing Enderal for the first time. There are of course lots of good mods on the Steam Workshop, but we all know where the real modding community is: Nexus Mods. There is obviously a way to download mods from the Nexus to to Enderal, but can it be done with the mod manager, and if so, how?

Officially there is no mod manager for Steam-external-mods at Enderal yet.
There is a beta version for MO2 which is under test.
Otherwise "manual installation" is possible, but there will be no complete deinstallation if errors occur.
And if mods are compatible for the current version, nobody guarantees you, except maybe the creators.
