As a Side note I did resolve my issue, AppData\Roaming\Vortex\7daystodie\snapshots Edit the file snapshot.json First line "basePath": "E:\\*********\\AppData\\Roaming\\7DaysToDie\\Mods\\Mods", is the UDF for that you selected for Mods for Vortex. "launchersettings.json" file within %Appdata%\7DaysToDie\ i modified the file location here as well and this eliminated all my errors

this is errelevant to the issue. that is the staging folder, as stated above that is not what we are dealing with. you posted an image about the staging folder, not the mod folder. G:\Program Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die F:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Mods\Mods ( THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT game gave message about UDF, Vortex popped up with a message requesting I direct it to a User Defined Folder, as some change in Windows apparently means the old location will (sometime in the nebulous near future) cease to work. ) (as in my case i need it to go back 1 folder to just mods not mods/mods F:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\7daystodie\mods (your image is talking about this the STAGING FOLDER this is not helpfull is any way shape or form)
