  1. I have a "large" list of mods for Skyrim AE. I am currently up to 492 mods according to Vortex, which is correct. It is keeping track of everything and everything is working properly, except for the UI. About an Hour ago, I ran VRAMr and installed the mod correctly. Loaded up the game and everything worked. I remembered a few mods and added them. They were all added correctly and deployed correctly and showed up in game correctly. Vortex is handling everything as it should, but it is not listing any of the mods installed AFTER VRAMr's Texture Output. It also says I installed VRAMr and a bunch of other mods "seconds ago." I am still able to search for the mods and they show up. For example, Honed Metal shows up when searched with the correct install/download timestamps. I am also able to update mods. Everything appears to be working, except for the UI. TL;DR- Vortex's UI doesn't update when a new mod is installed, but everything else is working as it should and mods are deploying in game.
  2. My initial thoughts after using it for a few days: I think it looks very good, but I don't think it is as "clean" as the classic version. I know that everything is still essentially there, but it takes my brain a second to figure out what I am looking at. I felt the same way when the profiles were switched over. Like, I really understand that it's the same information reorganized, if you can even say it's reorganized, but it feels more "comfy" than "compact," leading to a lot of extra brain processing time on my end. I would like a "preference" setting where I can make it compact, but keep the same style. I think the addition of popular collections is nice. I think the integration of collections into the main page of the game makes it feel more integrated. I think it was done perfectly. I don't need it more integrated, but just having the extra reminder that they exist on the page instead of the top bar is helpful to new users. That being said, it does push down the mods listings, which is why I am here. I don't like having to scroll down to find the thing I am here for. Maybe just moving the popular collections below that would be better. OR, and I think this is where I land, I think you can get rid of the highlighted mods in favor of collections. May be controversial because what creator wants to lose discovery to a curator, but I think that just leaving the top two highlighted mods with making the banner a link to a "popular mods" section would be cleaner. Plus, you would then be able to literally see the "Popular" section without scrolling down. The actual mod pages is perfect, don't touch it. I find the mobile dropdown menu to be awful and I don't know how you would change the current desktop iteration without doing that. As someone who uses this site a lot more that what I assume your average user does, I always forget that the dropdown menu exists and just give up when I am searching for information. Like, I KNOW it's there, but the way it's implemented suggests to my brain that the overview is the only page. Somewhat going back to #3, just make the Popular section the default instead of new. I know discoverability is a thing, but I don't think we can have "everything" while keeping it clean and compact. Just swap the two. Most of the new mods are translations and NSFW mods (Jesus Christ Cyberpunk and Elden Ring) anyways and make finding the mods I want hard. Also, I can't figure out as a user what the difference between the "trending" and "popular" sections are, unless one is weekly and the other monthly, so I don't know if they are really doing their job. You could totally do away with trending. TL;DR - do away with trending and make "popular" the default view.
