If you are greedy because you know NMM and think that you can use Vortex without reading, watching videos and / or asking questions, the only thing you will get is frustration for yourself.

 

Understand that Vortex is not like NMM or MO(2). It is a different mod manager, very easy to use, but because it is different from the formers, it does require from you, to read the above link and ask questions in this forum so we would be able to help you accordingly.

 

If you believe that you can use Vortex out-of-the-box, and talk to it like if you are talking to Alexa ( start my car ! .... import my mods and don't screw up ... make my load order infalible ... etc, ), then you are completely wrong. Again, it does require from you, some reading. Did not you read before start using NMM or MO ? Well do the same thing now before start using Vortex.

 

Avoiding reading, watching videos, investigating or asking questions, will lead you to a deep frustration and headache and that will not be caused by Vortex but by yourself, so do not blame it and start criticizing without knowing like a baby. Be a real man, do your homework and be humble enough to accept responsibilities for your own actions !!

 

Vortex is easy, straightforward, reliable, very powerful and much better than NMM or MO. You want to know the differences ? Learn it ! Read, watch videos, investigate and ask questions. We guarantee you that once you learn it, you will love it and be happy with it.

 

You can do everything that you were doing back in NMM but in different way, in a way that will give you more options and more control over your load order.

 

Because there are some issues when importing from NMM, I would recommend not to do that, unless you read very well all aspects about it and know exactly what you are doing. I never did it and I decided back when Vortex started, to delete all my games, delete NMM and start from fresh everything via Vortex. That approach helped me to understand it better, from very simple to more complex tasks.

 

Again, importing from NMM is available in Vortex, but you need to know several things before doing it about loose files, etc, etc. I won't tell you here what are the things that you need to take into account before importing. Please read the above link.

 

Know that LOOT is integrated into Vortex and you do not need to run the Auto-Sort ( equivalent to LOOT ) in Vortex and LOOT at the same time. It is your own decision which one you will use.

 

CONCLUSION :

 

- Read, watch videos, investigate and ask questions in this forum. We have a very knowledgable users capable to answer any question you may have, even from the dev team and the very own Tannin, the creator of MO and Vortex.

 

- Make sure that you read everything about the INSTALLATION PATH. Read about where Vortex is installing by default and why. Read about what are your options.

 

- Set Vortex properly. There are a few buttons you need to set to ON before starting playing with it.

 

- If you want to import from NMM, read very well all aspects about it and take responsibility if you do not. Do not blame Vortex so you have been warned !!

 

- If you want NOT TO IMPORT, go ahead and still read and watch videos. Not importing will give you the chance to learn Vortex from simple to complex.

 

- Take responsibility for your actions. Avoiding reading, watching videos, investigating or asking question will lead to frustration. Do not blame Vortex but yourself.

 

- Understand that Vortex is not longer in ALPHA but still is in BETA, so, bugs may be present still but it is getting better when upgrading to a new version.

 

- Understand that we want your feedback. If you encounter something wrong, tell us and the dev team will fix it. They won't if you do not explain why, how and where it did happen. If you can provide a screenshot, much better yet.

 

- We cannot stop you from criticizing without any reason, but not help with come to you if you cry like a baby. This is not a Day Care Center and we are not moms !!!

 

- If you do not like Vortex, go back to NMM.

 

- Do not ask if Vortex if for you. Have some respect for yourself. Nobody can tell you what mods you must download or what mod manager you must have. You need to make that decision.

 

Go back to NMM or welcome to Vortex !!

This is not a Day Care Center and we are not moms !!!

 

 

 

Excellent tips!

 

Your day care center remark should be placed on the front page of every one of these forums. In fact, most gaming forums need that reminder.

 

 

Thanks Augusta Calidia … very kind of you !
