It looks to me that there's significant enough ill will towards Vortex that maybe Nexus should make NMM available again for those of us that find Vortex to be.... unsatisfactory.

There is what appears to be a button marked "Mod Manager Download". It. Does. Not. Work. It's just an image on the page.

I did. I'll look again, but I didn't see anything suggesting NMM.

I just looked, and there's nothing there. The page says they removed the links to NMM. If that's correct, that sucks balls.

I hadn't noticed that. I'd much rather use NMM. Thanks for the info, maybe that'll work instead of Vortex. I did get SKSE from Steam as well, and the only mods I got off of Nexus were pretty straight-forward stuff that most everyone has tried at one point or another - the classics, if you will.

Here's the story. My laptop's HDD took a dump on me, total loss. Replaced it, put a fresh copy of Windows 10 on it, everything's okay. Installed Steam, then installed SSE from my Steam library. I run the game to see if it works. It runs, so I play for a bit, then I quit the game and login to Nexus to install mods. I'd always used NMM, but now I have to switch to Vortex - fine, whatever. I load Vortex, watch the demo videos, then start loading mods. I fire up SSE again. I get the title card and click on "Play". It loads, then.... just stops. Like nothing ever happened. I check my Task Manager, and it shows that SSE isn't running at all. I uninstall Vortex, try running SSE again. Again, I get the title card, then nothing. I ask a few friends, they say maybe the SSE install was corrupted. try reloading it. I uninstalled SSE, then reinstalled it. Same problem. So I go back to the very beginning - uninstall Steam, then reinstall it, reinstall, SSE. Everything works. Reinstall Vortex, and nothing works again. So what, if anything, am I doing wrong?
