Replacing a Mod's Textures

So... I've hit a bit of a snag when I tried to replace a .dds texture file, then I noticed that Vortex converts everything into .lnk.
The
situation is this: I've installed a mod, and I want to replace a certain texture file with one of my own,

now the question is; how can I do that without going through hoops and loops?

Any Input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Vortex doesn't change anything to .lnk

I have plenty of "loose file" mods installed, with .dds and .nif etc.

So lets find out WHY you're ending up with .lnk instead of .dds

Where do you have Vortex installed?
What game are you modding?
Where is your Download folder?
Where is your Mod Staging Folder?
Is your Mod Staging Folder on the same drive as the game you're trying to mod?
Are you using Windows Defender?

Yeah, sorry about that, forgot to add the details.

Vortex is installed on: E:/

The Game is: Fallout 4, Located on E:/

The Download Folder is Located on: E:/

The Staging Folder is located on: E:/

Most probably Windows Defender is irrelevant on that matter.

 

One additional question: Are you using hard links or symbolic?

 

 

I'm using Hard links as far as I know.

 

The problem seems to be a folder path... You will be informed as soon as it is resolved.

Yes, I realize that, which is why I asked WHERE are your FOLDERS, not what DRIVE

 

 

Vortex is installed on: E:/

WHERE on E:\ which Folder?

 

The Game is: Fallout 4, Located on E:/

WHERE on E:\ Which Folder?

 

The Download Folder is Located on: E:/

WHERE on E:\ which Folder?

 

The Staging Folder is located on: E:/

WHERE on E:\ Which Folder?

Could be, But Do You Use Windows Defender?

I was hoping for an actual answer.

The Folders were all automated, nothing was really changed except for the Drive.
As it seems the
problem was Human Error, was trying to replace the wrong files in the wrong folder from the start, but it did not occur to me.

Everything runs as it should now.

Thank you for your help!

Even though the information I provided was insufficient, you really helped.
I apologise for any inconvinence this might have caused.
