i did im proably gonna have to make my own thread if i cant fish the dragon age origins problem in the dragon age part of the forums im not trying to highjack a thread i seem to have figured out why it wasnt hot linking it didnt like me copy pasta old mod files that i have backed up into the mod manger folder dragon age ive checked 2 .exe folders it refuses to find the .exe and the second game needed a specfic c++ version hopefully i wont need help finding the dragon age .exe f*#@ery ea did with their latest update that changed things. edit in im proably gonna have to manually install the mods the mod manger and the 2 issues im having are utter dumpsterfires based on the posts im seeing and while im not tech iliterate im not so comptent that i can help fix these issues that the mod manger and mods are having.

okay so i finally found two possible problems in the case of dragon age it looks like ea moved the fliping .exe and replaced the usal one with some garbage as for the other one it might of been a mod dependency issue i have to restart my computer so hopefully i can find my way back. shouldnt matter vortex should still see the game in the case of dragon age which is odd but i guess we will find out soon enough.

Thanks for the reply. I thought the Mod Staging Folder was just where Vortex stores all the mods I've downloaded and not where it loads them to (when I run the game). I hope that makes sense. :smile: Download Folder = Where Vortex downloads the Mod Archives from the Nexus Mod Staging Folder = Where Vortex unpacks the Mod Archives you downloaded and installs them and this has me ready to murder somebody do I have to make a mod folder for vortex in the game folder or just the drive. ive made an empty folder but it acts like its not. ive also tried having it make its own folder and it doesn't want to for god only knows what reason. I literally have a hot link issue and vortex is literally refusing to figure out where it is . You DO NOT put ANY of the Vortex Mod Staging, or Download folder INSIDE the Game Folder The Mod Staging folder needs to go on the same drive as the Game, so something like this D:\Vortex Mods\ Vortex will automatically make the game subfolders as you add games. Such as D:\Vortex Mods\skyrimse D:\Vortex Mods\fallout4 etc and this is why im going nuts ive deleted and remade the vortex mod folder a dozen times I figured it would function like that so I didn't bother trying to put it into the game folder. it literally refuses to set the staging area to f:\\ is there a way to revert to a older version so I can try to see if it will work that way?

I literally have a hot link issue and vortex is literally refusing to figure out where it is . edit in ive also told it where the game is using the + but it refuses to start the game. the game starts fine through steam all 3 of them do and none of them load mods though. it did just fine after manually applying the mods though to the one

this is praobly why im getting my cant deploy nonsense. ive dont 2 reinstalls and made 3 folders either im fundmentally misunderstanding how this atually works ot something is broken. ive watched the youtube videos ive done all i can think to do for now im considering scraping it for mo until this is figured out by people far smarter then me.

ill be blunt i love you guys for the mods but this. this is cancer im geting pissed with how many mods ive lost, when these mod mangers update i always lose mods. it worked at first now its ctd on load and its cancer gonna have to spend 2 days to a fresh install and trying to find all the mods half of them I don't use and grabbed for shits and giggles the other half I do and almost guarantee I wont find 2 or 3 because they where removed or some other issue. this is such a headache. edit in sorry but i needed the rant this really is that annoying 1 time or 2 times fine but half a dozen is trully annoying.

glad I'm not the only one regretting the rebuild now. sky ui ks hairdos half the mods I use XD all have this error and I think its related to the site update. so fun not knowing what to do. edit in for the sky ui once yo have the skse installed and veryfied once that it works you jsut do the manual download skse.silverlock.org <- don't know how to link it so just google skse until you see it instead of nmm click manual then click the download then if you have nmm add it manually it should auto download where you have it set to don't need the file after its installed by nmm edit in edit in make sure you have the old garbo link in nmm gone first.

Happens a lot with people with 1 post. They ask their question and a lot of times never come back. its why some of us try not to ask them lol I'm one of the people that even if I ask I cant understand the explanations that most will give so its just that much better to figure it out on my own http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/23.jpg

the issue he's having is probably the same one I am. I cant seem to find all the proper files. no matter how many hours I'm gonna waste I am not sure I can get the fnis to work right. seems unclean and unorganized to me =[
