Profiles
Create, switch, duplicate, and manage named mod configurations.
A profile is a named setup: which library mods are included, whether each one is enabled, which options are selected, and in what order they deploy. The Library itself is shared. Deleting a profile does not delete the mods.
The Default profile is created automatically. It cannot be renamed or deleted.
Switching profiles
Profile icons live in the sidebar, under Library.
- Click a profile icon to open that profile's mod list
- Drag icons in the sidebar to change their display order
- Hover an icon to see the profile name
The table header badge always shows the profile you are currently editing.
Creating a profile
- Click the + button at the bottom of the sidebar profile list
- Enter a name (maximum 20 characters)
- Optionally click Choose Image to pick a thumbnail
- Confirm
The new profile starts empty. Add mods from the Library, import files into this profile, or copy mods from another profile.
Managing a profile
You can manage a profile from either:
- Right-click its sidebar icon
- Click the badge or gear in the table header
| Action | Notes |
|---|---|
| Duplicate | Copies mods, separators, enable state, and load order into a new profile. You can set a name and optional image. |
| Change Image | Replace the sidebar / badge thumbnail. |
| Remove Image | Restores the letter placeholder. Only shown when an image is set. |
| Rename | Available on every profile except Default. |
| Delete | Available on every profile except Default. Mods stay in the Library. |
If you delete the profile you are currently viewing, Arsenal switches back to Default.
Adding mods to a profile
From a profile, click Add Mod and use Or select existing mods from your library.
The picker lists every library mod:
| Detail | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Already in this profile | Green checkmark. Unchecking removes the mod from the profile without deleting Library files. |
| Search / select all | Apply to the visible list. |
| Confirm | Adds newly checked mods and removes newly unchecked ones. |
From the Library you can also add one mod or a multi-selection to any number of profiles at once. See Adding Mods and Actions.
Copying mods between profiles
Copying does not remove the mod from the source profile.
- In a profile, open the three-dot menu on a row (or right-click the row)
- Choose Copy to Profiles
- Check destination profiles and confirm
Profiles that already contain the mod are shown as already added and cannot be selected again.
From the Library the same flow is labeled Add to Profiles, and you can target every profile including the current one.
What is stored per profile
| Scope | Data |
|---|---|
| This profile | Membership, enable / disable state, load order, option selections, separator labels and colors |
| Library (shared) | Mod files on disk, label, description, icon, tags, Nexus Mods identity |
Renaming a mod from any view updates the Library name everywhere.
Nexus Mods collections
Collection import is limited to Nexus Mods Premium accounts. When you import a collection, Arsenal asks whether to create a new profile (named after the collection by default) or add the mods to an existing profile. Required and optional collection mods can be selected independently, and version conflicts can keep your local file or take the collection version. See Adding Mods.
