Thegenosss Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Well as the title says, should i move to vortex? Soon i will have a really long period of vacation and i was wondering if i should use vortex to mod fast an easy my Fallout 4 Im ussed to MO2 but it really takes a long time (at least for me) to download and install the mods and make the things modified by other tools (CBBE) appear on the game some stuff i want to know is-Does Vortex overwrite files from the game like NMM ussed to do?-Do i need to do extra steps to make tools like CBBE work?-Should i stick to MO instead? (English its not my main language sorry if i misspeled something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 1. Vortex does not overwrite.2. I don't use CBBE. FNIS and LOOT however are integrated. Just click install and those are run automatically.3. If you're ready to start from scratch (no importing existing mod builds, and using Vortex on a clean install of the game) you can try moving. If you have no plans of redoing everything, stick with what you're using now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(English its not my main language sorry if i misspeled something) Vortex Help Center, FAQ, Documentation Should we tell you what to do ? I think that you deserve a lot of respect so your decision about moving or not to Vortex is solely yours. If you want to find out if Vortex is for you, then click on the above link and read everything and if you have the discipline of reading and learning, you can read a lot of threads in this forum that will provide a lot of information, information that you need before making a decision. Now, based on my personal experience, I never imported anything from NMM and there are some issues when doing so. If I had to go back to the time when Vortex was created, I would do the same thing I did : delete all my games from NMM, delete NMM from my PC, install Vortex and install all my games and start from scratch. When I did that, I learned Vortex from simple to complex ... however, this program is very easy to use but it does require some reading because it is different from NMM and MO. And to answer one of your questions, I have installed CBBE in Fallout 4 and F4SE and I can launch both from Vortex, so yes, you can install it and you do not need extra tools but I do not know what did you mean by that. The only thing I had to do is add another tool in Vortex, tell Vortex where to look for CBBE and click OK and that was it. You will find info about how to do it in the above link. Last but not the least, do yourself a favor. Read and investigate before using it. I recommend to you to think twice about importing from NMM and try not to get greedy; just because you know NMM does not means that you could skip reading about Vortex and be able to use it out-of-the-box. If you do not understand something, ask questions. We have a lot of people with a lot of knowledge ready to help you. If you do what you are supposed to do, I think that you will love it and be happy with it. Avoiding reading and investigation only will lead you to frustration and if so, please do not blame it but you. Be humble ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBizkit Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Adding to the sound advice given by sopmac45, we have an article on our wiki regarding the question you are asking: https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Choosing_Vortex That being said, Vortex is different than NMM. If you expect the same just with a different UI, I am afraid, that is not what Vortex is, or is intended to be. I was able to move my ~200 mod installation over just fine. However, Vortex is not magic and cannot import any unmanaged files, or miraculously heal a messy data folder / mod setup. If you have ever tinkered with your data folder manually, we strongly recommend reinstalling your mods from scratch over importing. I hope that clears things up for you. It is your decision and we are not pushing Vortex onto anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
