BrotherShamus Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just a quick question... is the new version of Vortex going to be only for mods that are available on Nexus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmm200 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The great majority of my mods are not from Nexusmods.I am not worried about loss of support - at all.The real benefit of downloads from Nexusmods is the integrated downloads.Other sites you have to download manually and copy over.

HadToRegister Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 You can also download from other websites using your browser and pick SAVE AS... then you can just direct the download to your Vortex\Downloads\{game} folder to save the step of downloading and dragging to Vortex.Vortex will automatically detect the newly downloaded mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherShamus Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yeah, I'm actually pretty comfortable with the current version of Vortex and have no issues downloading and installing mods from other sites (thank you Gopher for the tutorials). I meant with the upcoming changes to this site, with the collections and such. I had read somewhere that Vortex would be exclusive to Nexus mods and really just wanted to know if it was time to switch over MO2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Gentle reminder:Tannen wrote MO2, as well as Vortex.He took what he learned writing MO2 - and used it to make Vortex the better mod installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a relief... hahaha. It took me a long time to learn Vortex and I was dreading the thought of having to learn a new (and from what I understand more complicated) system.

I've been spending a good portion of my day trying to track down mods and understand the 'big change' that's going to occur here and in the process, have come across many... many different threads and discussions. It did seem a little weird to me which is why I thought it would be a good idea to ask here. It seems I've picked an unfortunate time to be putting together load orders for my games.
