What happens if a mod overwrites a file?
I've several times had to take a decision about whether to have one mod overwrite another mod's file(s). With Morrowind just installed, [[1]] now asks me to overwrite a file that seems to be a "core" game file. This has stumped me a bit, and is thus prompting me to finally ask what I've been curious about for so long: How does the NMM treat overwritten files? Do they store them somewhere to re-instate them when the mod is disabled/removed? Or are they gone "for good"? --Freso 12:23, 22 July 2012 (BST)
