Your crash is caused by RaceMenu, specifically version 0.4.15.
Check the RaceMenu mod page to see a list of known locations and events that I have put together, that cause issues with that latest RaceMenu version and the area west of Ford Greymoor, east of the Sleeping Tree Camp is one of them.Look and see if you have update RaceMenu recently to that version. If so : roll back to former version ( 0.4.14 ) and wait for a fix.
I'm sure Expired is working on a fix as we speak.
Cheers

:ermm: Isn't it so that these two buttons only show up if and when there are actually PLUGINS in Vortex ( i.e. after downloading, installing, enabling and deploying a mod ) and the SAVE button if and when there is actually a save made in-game ?
-
somewhere in the code something is messing Vortex up.I am not a code writer
Isn't that a contradiction in terms ? :ermm:
-
Completely remove all remnants of f4se and close Vortex.
Now start Vortex again, and it will prompt you with a message that f4se isn't installed.
Follow the steps it offers.

are you launching the game through skse64_loader.exe ?

Just helping out a fellow old man getting more traffic to his channel :D

I'm sure ff7Legend knows that, seeing that he's a regular user of the Nexus sites :)
But yeah, I'm dying to know what the cause of this was

true, and :
>>Warning: Custom skeleton found. Select SKELETON patch.<<
>>Warning: \character\behaviors\FNIS_skyrim romance animated_Behavior.hkx not Skyrim SE compatible<<
there's your problem :
- tick the skeleton fix box.
- use only SSE animations, no Oldrim animations

Vortex will let you adjust your load order using rules and groups. You may prefer the "bad habits" from the NMM days, but you barely need to mess with your plugins when using Vortex, as acidzebra said you can have a full load order with less than 10 custom rule/group assignments. You have to also consider that a lot of extra headaches for our mod authors come from users who think they know best and load things in a silly order.

Dark0ne wrote:which is what Vortex basically is : a shell for LOOT
By that logic, NMM, MO2 and Wrye Bash are simply "shells" for the plugin.txt file and Bethesda's built-in plugin management system. But obviously calling them that is disingenuous to the myriad other features and functions they have. The exact same can be said of Vortex.
Your whole comment leans heavily on the idea of the "loss of control". You're in no more or less control with Vortex than you are with any of the other mod managers for Bethesda games, simply the method by which you control your load order and plugin management has changed. If you don't like that change or you don't want to change your way of thinking then that's your prerogative but don't paint it as something that it isn't. All the mod managers have the same level of control - your issue is with how you can exercise that control. The idea behind Vortex is to reduce the amount of work people need to do to get a working and stable modded setup of their favourite games. If that's not as important to you as "drag and drop" mod management then you are not forced to use it and in fact, we'd rather you didn't use it because you're only going to make things worse for yourself (and by proxy, us) if you try and enforce your old modding standards on Vortex's.
You have plenty of choices available to you and we believe we've made the right decision in the path we've taken. Indeed, the vast uptake in Vortex over the past couple of years helps us to know we've taken the right path.post on @acidzebra's comment to see this : )
"Pickysaurus wrote:[...]If you feel you know better than LOOT, I suggest you help the community out by telling the LOOT team what's wrong.[...]"
I did , many times, they wouldn't listen when I said that whole extended groupthingy they had thought up wasn't going to work....but now it's gone. Yeah, but mostly they don't listen, because they are... well LOOT.
"You have to also consider that a lot of extra headaches for our mod authors come from users who think they know best and load things in a silly order"
Most headaches come from people who don't read the description page concerning how to install a mod. Some come running to the page asking about load order, but not many.

I use Vortex and I really like it when it does the great chunks for me, I like the profile system, I like that it can handle so many games from the Nexus ( congrats btw on the 1000+, well deserved ! ), but I would like to have the final word on my own load order, just by dragging and dropping a few mods in the spot I want them, and not having to make a bunch of rules first. Just pick up, move, drop. That's it. Shouldn't be that hard to implement ?
Yup, and I will certainly try those ( MO2 for instance ) out.[...] You have plenty of choices available to you [...]
Uhm, I have never bothered anyone with questions if I ran into a problem with Vortex ( except for bugs I found ), I fix it myself, and I help other members of the community out with issues they have thank-you-very-much....[..] you are not forced to use it and in fact, we'd rather you didn't use it because you're only going to make things worse for yourself (and by proxy, us)[...]

Edited my original post due to finding a solution to my first problem... :
------------------------------------------------------------------
When I'm managing Skyrim Special Edition, but also have mods installed for Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 and I go to my downloads tab, I see all the files I have downloaded for all the games ( SSE+FO3+FO4 ), where before I only saw SSE downloads because that's the game I am managing.Is this a new feature ? Not saying I hate it, but I don't understand the reasoning behind it... I mean, why do I have to see all the mods I've downloaded when I'm only managing one at the time ?
[EDIT] I went through the change logs, but I couldn't find it...
[EDIT] User error...I messed up my download folder a while ago, when I corrected it, it left some stuff behind in Vortex, cleaning that up fixed it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
But all they had to do was click the bell to hide the messages
That's basically where I used to (Still do, because I'm still on 1.1.5) install my mods, from the bell notification that said "Install Dismiss"
IKR :sad:
-
something to add to this;
I have noticed that if I download a mod, and do NOT install from the Downloads display, the mod remains in my download folder, even though I may have already installed it from the Mod display.
To remove the mods from the Downloads page, I need to install the mod again, this time from the mod download page within Vortex. This then removes the mod from the Downloads list. what I then have is an installed mod (that I installed myself via the Mods display) and a second mod of the same name, but in a disabled state.
Not really sure what's going on with this, but it's really not intuitive.
Holy Vortex Batman ! :laugh:
You are right.... It never dawned on me....indeed, the Downloads tab was empty after you installed all the mods for that particular game. Now all these downloaded mods stay there...
Thanks @1ae0bfb8, well spotted!
Also, please, for the love of all that's holy; allow me to see the full messages ,because putting an icon on that bell is asinine.
Yeah, they changed that in the version before this...because people complained that "all these messages clutter up my screen",
I wasn't bothered by that, so yeah, I would like to have that back too

So that is a new feature ? Me not like, it's counterproductive, confusing and absolutely unnecessary imo.
Even if you can filter by game. What is the use to see Fallout X mods when you are modding Skyrim ? I seriously don't get it. :pinch:
If not completely mistaken, the downloads-tab has always shown all games, unless you filter for a specific game.
For one, Vortex is a multi-game mod manager where you can download mods for multiple games at the same time. Not showing the queued downloads for the other games you're downloading would be counter-productive and make it much harder to track down download-problems.
For another, you can also intall mods for other games than the currently active. Also, in some cases you'll want to install mods that is marked for another game, example for SSE you can install many of the original Skyrim mods. As part of a mod-list I've even installed a Fallout-mod in Skyrim.
Since you can filter the downloads-tab on "Current game" it should be simple for you to only see the current downloads.
Nope, it has never been there, so I guess it's a new feature, just like the "missing" install button on the right in the Mods tab.
Clicking "current game" just folds up the other games...I'm pretty sure this feature has never been in Vortex.
Also it doesn't make sense to be able to install a Oldrim mod into SE, because when you download an Oldrim mod, it will appear in the Oldrim side of Vortex.
And when you manually add it to SE, you must have that game active to be able to add a mod from file , or drag it into the designated area in the Mods tab.
It's starting to look like Vortex wants us to install through the Downloads tab ?
Yes, there is an "install" button on the Downloads tab , where it's tucked away on the Mods tab...
Thanks for your post btw :smile: Much appreciated
[EDIT] Filed a bug report and made suggestions to reverse the changes made to the downloads tab and the Mods tab.
Thanks again
Cheers

Hey Picky,
Do you mean the View not-yet-installed Downloads / View All Downloads ?
That changes nothing in the Download table

Forgot to mention, I'm on version 1.2.11
This is what my logo looks like :
How is your downloads folder paths laid out?
Have you turned on Deploy Mods when enabled, and Enable Mods when installed in the Settings----->Interface tab?
I have no idea what that has to do with my problem :confused:

Hi, @DD. The "downloads" tab does indeed show all your downloads.
Also, on the downloads tab, you can filter by game, if needed.
So that is a new feature ? Me not like, it's counterproductive, confusing and absolutely unnecessary imo.
Even if you can filter by game. What is the use to see Fallout X mods when you are modding Skyrim ? I seriously don't get it. :pinch:
But you should be installing from the "mods" tab. That will give you the one click install that you are looking for.
I did install from the mods tab, I told so in my first post.
Look here what I see and have to do:
Pick 1 , or use arrow next to "remove" at 2, or click on the bell icon at 3
Then I have to click "more"
And then I can click Install one mod, click the bell icon again, click "more" and click "install" for the next mod to install etc.
Now tell me what I am doing wrong ?
If this is a new feature I don't get it....
Cheers

When I'm managing Skyrim Special Edition, but also have mods installed for Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 and I go to my downloads tab, I see all the files I have downloaded for all the games ( SSE+FO3+FO4 ), where before I only saw SSE downloads because that's the game I am managing.Is this a new feature ? Not saying I hate it, but I don't understand the reasoning behind it... I mean, why do I have to see all the mods I've downloaded when I'm only managing one at the time ?[EDIT] I went through the change logs, but I couldn't find it...[EDIT] User error...I messed up my download folder a while ago, when I corrected it, it left some stuff behind in Vortex, cleaning that up fixed it.

When you download a bunch of mods, it was possible to click on the orange "install" button ( positioned after each mod ), on the right side of the Mods tab.
Now when you download a bunch of mods you have to:
-Click on the blue "never installed" button on the left side of the Mods tab
-Click on the bell icon, click the green "more" option and then click "install"
-Click on the arrow next to the orange "remove" button ( which has replaced the "install" button ) and pick "install" from the drop-down menu
Installing like this is no longer a "one click install". If this is a new feature then I really disagree if it's ment to be easier to install.
It would be better to see "install" immediately ( certainly for users new to Vortex ) and not have it tucked away under the bell icon or click on "never installed" to "install" ( which is like Windows' "press start to stop" reasoning if you want to shut down your PC ).
Is this a new feature too ?

Possible bug 1: when I go to my Mods tab, I can customize my page layout with the cogwheel on the right. In the list of options there's a option to switch on "games" but it does nothing at all.
Possible bug 2: when I start up Vortex, the logo appears in the center of my screen, but there's a white semi-transparant square overlay covering the logo, which disappears after a second or two.
Thanks for reading
Cheers
