"You haven't downloaded this mod yet" error

[axonis]

I've downloaded this mod half an hour ago and I can't endorse it because it's being reported as I haven't downloaded it yet.

[MarkusTay]

I actually get this a LOT. Nexus/Vortex pops-up a list of mods I haven't endorsed yet, and when I choose any of them, it tells me I haven't downloaded it yet.

 

Conclusion: Nexus/Vortex is bipolar.

I'm having the same issue. About 8-10 mods I can't seem to endorse.

@axonis - we had a sitewide problem yesterday at the time you posted this that resulted in all infrastructure being restated - this would have likely caused this problem briefly.

 

@MarkusTay / @ThelebKaarna - Are you able to provide us any more information on this please.

 

1) How did you download these mods ? (Vortex/Site)

2) Were these new downloads, or updates to previous downloads ?

3) Where are you trying to endorse these mods ?

4) Are the mods showing up in your download history ( https://www.nexusmods.com/users/myaccount?tab=download+history ) ?

Absolutely!

 

1) As with 99% of my mods for the past 8 months, via the "Mod Manager Download" button on the Nexus mod's file tab. Using the latest version of Vortex.

2) New downloads, pretty sure for all of them(?). It's possible (though I don't think so) that I didn't try to endorse right-away and got an update in there first. I know this is definitely not the case for all but a couple of them.

3) First through Vortex, then directly on the mod's Nexus page (no success either way).

4) Nope. But I remember downloading them. They're enabled in Vortex. They're present in-game.

 

So far I've only used Vortex to mod Skyrim SE, having 477 mods/291 plugins. A couple examples of offending mods for me are "The Hideaway - A Buildable Cave Home": https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/10649 and "Immersive Wenches": https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/595

 

I will attempt to redownload (via "Mod Manager Download") these two into Vortex and post back if this corrects the issue.

..... I will attempt to redownload (via "Mod Manager Download") these two into Vortex and post back if this corrects the issue.

 

Results: Issue corrected for both mods by redownloading.

 

I didn't have to install either of the two new downloads, just wait the 15 minutes, endorse, then delete the unused archive.

 

According to Vortex, the 2 offending mods in question were originally downloaded "1 Month Ago" & "2 Months Ago" respectively. Also I've downloaded a ton of other mods since then and have been able to endorse all of them just fine. I'm guessing for the offending mods some hick-up occurred at the original time of download and they somehow didn't register on The Nexus?

[MrMason]

Thank you for the detailed bug report - we'll take a look at this from our end and see if we can find anything strange going on.

I have the same issue. Out of 179 mods 33 are not able to be endorsed. Even though all of the information is there and the nexus link works I would think that there would be a way to force the app to accept that the mod was downloaded. Somehow "check the box" automatically upon noticing the info, so that it will fix itself.
