Thanks everyone for the great advice!

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I got the answer when it was mentioned that scripted mods often break if their memory addresses change. So, loading newer mods to the end of a loadlist (the highest possible static mod ID available) will keep them from messing with other mods.
I'll give that a try and see if it works. I use quite a few mods that inject weapons and other scripts. Hopefully this will keep those working.
It would be great if Vortex had a way to freeze mod ids so new mods wouldn't mess with them.
I guess another way to do it (just to be sure) would be to assign a static mod ID to each mod. That way newer mods would automatically sort to the very end and wouldn't be an issue.

you can add mods to an existing game but there's always a risk. if you are adding mods that are not compatible with the mods you're currently running then, quite simply, don't. you need to read the mod requirements and what it is incompatible with.
Oh, yeah I definitely get the incompatibility. I wouldn't load those together anyway. But, just normal mods. If they move a mod's load order or change their memory address, won't that screw things up?

Game: Fallout 4 VR
Using: Current Version of Vortex
This is a two faceted question really...
I'm asking how and how to do it with Vortex.
Typically if I add a new mod during a current play through, something breaks or I get erratic behavior from some mods, etc. Especially mods that control things like spawns, weapon injections, etc.
So. How do people do that? I'm soooo tired of starting a new game because a really awesome mod comes out I want to try, lol. There has to be a way to add the mod and not have it break other mods. Probably something to do with setting them all to a static mod index maybe? Or making the new mod load with a mod index that's at the end?
Dunno.. anyway.. help me not have to listen to "war never changes" from professor skinny-neck for the 10000000th time, lol.

I get this reliably every time I try to view my "save games" for Fallout 4 VR. It just says "exception" and refers me to this thread.

It appears this was fixed in the update I received today.
Nice.

I'm sure this gets asked quite a bit, but are you planning a VR version of F4SE yet?
Big fan, by the way.
Thanks.

Any fixes for this yet or information?
I still don't get any notices when mods are updated. I know for sure some of them have updates, I'll select the mod and hit "check mod for update" and it doesn't show anything anymore. It USED to show the version number in red and give you the option to udpate it. Now I have to go manually check them on the website and do a fresh install with the new version and uninstall the old one.
If this is just broken, that's fine, but can someone validate that it's not just my install?
-
When I hit a single mod to check for updates, or several even, it says it's checking for updates, but none are reflected when there are several that have been updated since the last time I downloaded them.
I'm trying to re-download the new files and install them, but I'm afraid I'm going to break my save this way.
Please fix this or give us a workaround to make this work without re-assigning load order positions, etc.

So I found a couple mods on the Creation Club that aren't on Nexus that I would like to install and use with Fallout 4 VR.
I added them to my "library" on bethnet. But, how do I get them to the point where Vortex will see them? Are they downloaded somewhere?
The whole process for mods on the CC is about as intuitive as brain surgery during a rectal exam.
-
Yeah.. this actually WORKS! I just did the automatron DLC for the first time! So cool in VR!

In response to post #60914602. #60914912, #60915742, #60916482, #60916597 are all replies on the same post.Arthmoor, actually he's right and it's a bit confusing. I've seen people get their mods removed due to Patreon links, but now they are allowed to remind people that they can donate to the larger "pot" of Patreon funds.SkylerModder wrote: Ok, I am immediately confused by this. The TOS places relatively strict limitations on how/where a mod author can put their own personal patreon links in a mod description/etc, but somehow THIS is ok?
Someone (Dark) want to please help me make some sense of this? Because this feels very strongly of "Do as we say, not as we do"...Dark0ne wrote: Here are where donations are mention in our ToS in the context of your post:Please ensure you are respectful when talking about donations and do not "over do it". An example of "over doing it" would be having a banner or blurb of text talking about donations at the top of your mod description before you've even described what your mod does, or regularly reminding your users in the comment section of your file pages to donate. Tactful discussion of donations would be informing your users they can donate and how to donate somewhere towards the bottom of your file description and/or in your readme file, acknowledging and thanking those users who have donated and who have explicitly agreed to having that information shared with others, a single sticky post in your file comments reminding users they can donate and responses to your users who have specifically asked you how they can donate to you.
What are you struggling with, exactly? The rules are in place to prevent mod authors from plastering Patreon/Donation links all over their mod descriptions to the detriment of the actual point of the mod description -- explaining what your mod does.
Can you explain how us adding a link on the site to a Patreon page to directly support this initiative is confusing you?SkylerModder wrote: Well, either I have alzheimer's or this section was added since the last time I read the TOS:Tactful discussion of donations would be informing your users they can donate and how to donate somewhere towards the bottom of your file description and/or in your readme file, acknowledging and thanking those users who have donated and who have explicitly agreed to having that information shared with others, a single sticky post in your file comments reminding users they can donate and responses to your users who have specifically asked you how they can donate to you.
because I don't remember that being there at all. ¯\_(:/)_/¯Can you explain how us adding a link on the site to a Patreon page to directly support this initiative is confusing you?
2 things: 1) That the initiative needs "supporting" at all is confusing to me, as I was under the impression that Nexus already gets (very) ample funds from all the advertisements and so on it pulls in as it is. 2) In a general sense, I suppose the confusion largely stems from that the Author Donate link is right up top of the website, but that the TOS prevents a mod author having their own link at the top of their mod description. Just seems a bit conflicting, I guess. Maybe I'm wrong. idk. Like I said, I'm confused. ¯\_(:/)_/¯

As for why it's "needed" -- it's explained in this news post and on the Patreon page. It isn't "needed", we're already donating a considerable sum ourselves when we don't have to. This is for users of the site to get involved in the process and "chip in".Arthmoor wrote: @SkylerModder You're reading way too much into a simple situation.
I'm not sure which is right or why, but it's definitely a bit of a kick in the teeth for those modders that have been penalized for this in the past. -
In response to post #60913897. #60922977 is also a reply to the same post.Most modders generally appreciate donations and put those donors' requests on the forefront as a matter of courtesy anyway.Scallawag wrote: Recommend some way to have a tag or some sort of badge that indicates how much of a donator someone is on Patreon. Maybe for the forum also? It might help get higher donations.Tabris999 wrote: I feel this could end up making some authors priorize requests by donors over other users. It could also make some people think authors owe they something for being large donors.
The second one probably wouldn't happen, but they would be wrong if they felt that way.
But, it was just a suggestion to help you guys get more donations. There has to be some form of incentive if you want more than $1 each. -
In response to post #60910862.It's not really about Patreon... it's about the modders getting recognized and getting an incentive to continue their great work for the community. Without this website I would have grown bored with these games a LONG time ago. And without a place for modders to put their work where it would be received and commented about, some of them wouldn't have continued either.Andarus2 wrote: I'm not giving Patreon any money to support their shitty policies.

It's absolutely horrible right now. I just moved to Florida and the speed on the website is so slow... it took 3 minutes to load ONE PAGE and that's on 1 Gbps download speed.
It's happened before, but that was in Illinois and it cleared up eventually. It hasn't cleared up this time.
