I am a bit tired of losing old saves and not being able to go back when an update screams through the ranks like a Sturgeon Druznik, and my brain is mainly butter at this point... so... The warnings on mod list changes when you try to access an old save file got me thinking- if that information is there, would it be possible to create a tool to extract that information to rebuild a mod list /deploy order for nexus? The idea would be a tool that you run, point a save file to and it gives us the config set up we had at that save- versions, mods installed, their versions and load order. Now, I imagine not all that information is in the save file- soooo- what if we had a SAFE KEEP mod that is installed and when a save file is made, it injects that information? It would be great to be able to go back to an old save file and just say - hey Vortex, give me this mod set up please?

First up, this is my first post and I am absolutely in love with Nexus and Vortex- amazing work! So as a new user coming in to modding Skyrim, I am hitting a bit of problem with all the many, many abbreviations everyone is using- there are a LOT to learn, and it can be rather frustrating to start with. My suggestion to smoothing this experience completely out for new users is adding a feature to the nexus site and vortex that allows common abbreviations to be flagged with hover over definitions. (see GIF attached) So, say, a Skyrim SE mod uses SkySA- Hovering over the colored text for a second or two it will pop up the alternative text "Sky A: Combat Behavior Compulsion". A list of definitions could be made by users and curated by Nexus, and automatically be applied. More advanced users can check off this feature. Hope everyone is having an awesome day.
