Keep in mind all, Microsoft also purchased Obisidian so it could go either way, bad or good. Microsoft, definitely has the deep pockets, they have the developers for it (both Obsidian and Bethesda) but are they going to keep the modding community open or try to capitalize on it?
If they use both Bethesda to make the landscape and Obsidian to write the story, that could be one good Fallout game. In other words, use each studio for their strengths. Bethesda's role play writing is horrible but Fallout 3 landscape rocked, and New Vegas was awesome for a true role playing wasteland. If Microsoft blows it for FO5 and etc, I rather want the Fallout assets to go to CD Projeckt Red since they know how to make video games especially in role playing.
I can't speak for Elder Scrolls, I never played Skyrim and played ESO for two hours and quit after being too bored.

The last time I tried Vortex, it didn't work like I wanted. I will try it one more time. In all honesty, I liked MO2 and NMM better than I did Vortex Alpha. But I will give Beta, another try.

In response to post #64344181.Bethesda is going to ruin it before Nexus ... LOLVonFelden wrote: Screw this , Vortex thing sucks , interface is unclear, automation sucks compared to NMM, and its goodbye from many of Us to Nexus Mods in Vortex style. I can't understand why You push users that remember first years of Nexus into something so clearly bad designed like Vortex. NMM had many flaws but in it's simplicity is far better than this [looking like some cheap advertise scam] Vortex "program" . I can't understand how Can You tell "we just stopped NMM suport 2 years ago" to all your free and premium, but loyal users. It's much better politics to improve what You already build , that burn bridges.Time to pack a gear and take a look to the other sites. Do You know how many hours people around sacrifice to build mod lists and working configs, destroying it so easily will bring doom to the nexus. I wish us all some other mod services and sites that will stay true to idea o freedom and passion for modding, not to mention hard censorship for last few years over the nexus mods. Bye

In response to post #59947231.Like it has been stated numerous times, just be happy you received any kind of message from a free software service website. After all, you are not paying them for grade A customer support.spacewalking wrote:
Wouldn't it have saved both you and users (especially users) a ton of frustration if you had pushed out an email about this? Or in the very least had a big notice on the website? Maybe I missed these things if you had, but I've been browsing and installing mods the past few weeks and had no idea what the issue was when suddenly NMM couldn't log in yesterday. I spent a good while trying to troubleshoot the issue and Google wasn't much help until I tried searching again last night and found these threads. I see that you posted a notice on this forum, but we don't all browse the forums regularly...
thanks

Anyone know if Vortex has been updated in which the user can manually adjust the plugins like NMM?

In response to post #57676166. #57705431 is also a reply to the same post.It would have to come after Sim Settlements. It's weird, you can see the .esp file but it never makes it to plugins where it needs to be. Maybe the name of the esp is too long?

When I try to load my current game, it states that Sim Settlements AddOn JtBryant's Foundations is missing even though I reinstalled the mod from the Nexus since receiving that warning message.

I can't really understand anything I see there. Doesn't look very user friendly, all things considered.
I never used Mod Organizer, but I tried Wrye Bash for a short time. Looking back at them, their interfaces looked ancient as hell. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not good in my experience. I never actually got used to WB and I don't think I'll ever be using MO.
However, Vortex's interface looks too modern. Looks more aesthetic than functional to be honest. This may not sit well with some users. Doesn't sit well with me, that's for sure.
To put it the best I can, as far as interfaces were concerned: WB and MO looked like Windows 95 and Windows 2000, respectively. NMM looks like Windows XP. Vortex looks like Windows 10.
I have a feeling that this was a too large of a leap from NMM's simple and very useful mechs. Like you skipped the metaphorical Windows 7.

From what I'm reading it seems as though a lot of the Nexus community would rather spend the first hour or so of your gamming time checking load order, dependencies, and what ever the words/actions that seem to have to happen when YOU down load mods. Personally I would rather not. One button, activate, two minutes later I'm in game. Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about in most of your post, and I really don't want to know, I don't want to spend the next six months trying to figure out what your talking about or how to implement these things. Push button and play, an occasional mod that didn't meet my expectations, delete, and on with the game. Over 950 times, occasionally run LOOT, I have no idea what LOOT does, I just run it because someone told me it was a good idea. I don't want to delve into the inner workings and I don't want to know how it works. Push button, play game like I do now with NMM.Ethreon wrote: Any person modding should spend time making sure the mods will work correctly and not expect a plug n play experience which was never really a thing with mods for bethesda's games. -

If you are using NMM to manage Fallout 4 (for example), download and install Vortex. Run Vortex and click "Import from NMM". Close Vortex. Open NMM and set up a profile with NO mods selected. Activate it. Close NMM and verify your game directory is squeaky clean. Fire up Vortex and click "Deploy". Take a look around settings, and give it a test run. If you want to go back to NMM for awhile, click "Purge mods" first. Game directory is squeaky clean again.bigd4450 wrote: What?adamscd123 wrote: nevermindadamscd123 wrote: Are you responding to me or RetroDaddy?Pippboss wrote: Importing from MO now.

Disregard my bug report, I just wasn't patient enough to let the mods to fully register before starting to import in which I was receiving that error. Although, perhaps a condition check should be added stating mods have not been registered yet, please be patient instead of registering a bug report. But then again, this is alpha and the bug report may end with adding that condition check.
I am still importing my game and then I have to do the clean up before testing running the game. So far I like the UI. Those that don't, just admit you don't like change ... LOL
I'll have to test this on TTW see if it can handle large file installation like MO/MO2 can. NMM could not or mostly not and was suggested not to be used with TTW.
I hope more skins are released. Bright is too bright and default is Nexus Look.

I guess there really isn't anything wrong with the engine, only the RPG elements and we already know the game can have both FPS and RPG elements and be a better game. Bethesda just has never been good at the Role Playing experience.
