Hello pls be anyone so kind to outline how to use mod organizer and Enderal.
This is a request to make sure modded Syrim installations wont be screwed up.
THX in advance

Since Enderal uses the same infrastructure like Skyrim you can simply use MO with Enderal - there is only one drawback:
The Enderal starter is not compatible (64bit ?) - but you can start Enderal also via skse_loader.exe.

This is my setup.

With a little bit hacking it would be possible to switch between Skyrim and Enderal via MO Profiles. But don't ask me how...

MO2 can start the launcher (x64):

The Beta 3 works quite reliably already. Just remember to start the launcher without MO2 in case you want to update the game.

Thx for reply
but the point is how to switch between the two installations . A fully modded Syrim and a vanilla Enderal.
I now ended up having two Skyrim installations, One renamed Enderal and the other Skyrim, whereby Enderal ist setup as a non Steam game . But id like the idea better mod organizer will handle the games by its profile manager.

Simply create a new profile without transferring any settings. You will see all your installed mods, disabled in alphabetic order. Close MO. Install Enderal using it's backup function. You can now start MO with the Enderal profile and enable any compatible mods already installed and add new one as usual. Have an eye on the install order since the new profile is sorted alphabetically. Use Loot by clicking sort on the right side in the modules list. Start Enderal using the skse start button of MO. If you want to play Skyrim, close MO, use the Enderal launcher to restore the backup, start MO and switch to your Skyrim profile. To play Enderal again, repeat this procedure (sorting the install order and running LOOT is no longer necessary, of course)

If using ENB: use "ENB FXAA SweetFX Manager" to save your ENB settings before installing Enderal. There is at least a Vivian ENB for Enderal on Nexus. It''s nice. With the ENB Manager you can switch between several ENBs, so it's easy to try out if it's ok you.

This is my solution and it works. However, this might be not the way MO is intended to be used. It should also work the way described but install Enderal as a standard mod. I didn't do that because I didn't know the new 64bit ability as described above. But if you have two or more internal harddrives/SDDs installed, the switching as described is rather fast, so I will go on with my way (never change a running system)

I found a way

HOW TO RUN ENDERAL FROM MO - THE EASY WAY!
This assumes that you already have a Skyrim install with mods (and are using MO which leaves the original Skyrim install untouched) and you don't want to lose those settings and mods.
Step 1: Rename Skyrim folder to _Skyrim
Step 2: Make an identical copy of _Skyrim in the same folder, rename it Skyrim and use Steam to verify the integrity of the files (I do it this way just to make sure my working Skyrim install will be saved with no surprises)
Step 3: Run the Enderal installer, which needs Steam open btw, and go through all steps & run all updates
Step 4: from this fresh install of Enderal, adjust your settings which will write to the files in My Documents called skyrim.ini and skyrimpref.ini and boot up Enderal to make sure it all works
Step 5: close Enderal and use WinRAR to make an archive of the Data folder - I call mine Enderal.rar
Step 6: copy Enderal.rar to the downloads folder in MO and start up MO
Step 7: under downloads you will see Enderal.rar - double click to install it - select manual - right click on the data folder to set it as the directory to use
Step 8: create a profile for Enderal (no Archive Invalidation is necessary) and copy the text from skyrim.ini and skyrimpref.ini using the ini editor
Step 9: check the box for only Enderal on the left side - on the right side under plugins make sure that skyrim.esm and update.esm are the only choices selected, under archives select ALL Enderal .bsa files (they all start with EEN) + update.bsa + all .bsa files that begin with "Skyrim" including Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa - DO NOT select any of the DLC or HighRes texture pack .bsa files
Step 10: run the game using the SKSE loader (this assume you have already setup Skyrim Script Extender)
Step 11: enjoy
To switch profiles just change the profile and make sure your skyrim.ini and skyrimpref.ini are correct (they get saved per profile)
That's it! I kept my _Skyrim folder because Enderal will be receiving constant updates - to update, just rename to Skyrim and run the Enderal launcher which will update the files - then copy and paste the newly patched Data folder and overwrite it under the mods>Enderal folder in MO
