  1. showler's post in I moved sse mods folder to another disk and everything is broken now. was marked as the answer   
    Vortex generally doesn't move mods the game folder.  It makes links to the files in the staging folder.
    Copying the game folder with those links still in place is bad and creates problems.
    Correct method is to "purge" mods from game folder and then "deploy" them again as needed.
  2. showler's post in Fallout 4 Launch Error - Masterlist Error and Strardew Valley Error was marked as the answer   
    Those all indicate that Vortex is having difficulty communicating with GitHub.
  3. showler's post in Fallout 3 GOTY Vortex Missing Masters Conflict was marked as the answer   
    I don't see the main FOOK2 files in the directory.
    Make sure that you installed "FOOK v1-2 Open Beta Data Files".
    Also, you seem to have a "data" folder inside your "data" folder.  Check that to see if any of your mods got installed wrong.  Sometimes a mod with a bad folder structure will create a new "data" folder instead of going in the existing one.
  4. showler's post in fallout 4 disappeared ?!? was marked as the answer   
    Start by clicking on all those "failed" extensions to find out why they failed.
  5. showler's post in Vortex v1.10.8 auto downloading Stardew Valley extension update | I don't have Stardew installed was marked as the answer   
    Many game extensions are included as part of Vortex.  Most are hidden behind the "show bundled" button.  Some are visible because they are getting more frequent updates than usual.  If the extension keeps reinstalling itself that means it is considered "part of Vortex" rather than an optional extension.
  6. showler's post in "Plugins not sorted because of cyclic rules" because of rule I didn't create was marked as the answer   
    Either it's a LOOT rule or the rule is based on the category the mod is placed in.
  7. showler's post in I reinstalled Windows, is there any way for Vortex to detect my mods? was marked as the answer   
    Set your download directory to match your existing one and you shouldn't need to redownload anything.
    You'll need to reinstall them because you don't have the information Vortex needs for that anymore.

  9. showler's post in Once mods are deployed: can I delete them?(Skyrim SE/Reborn collection)Vortex 1.9.12 was marked as the answer   
    You can't delete anything in the deployment folder.  Those are the real files, the ones in the game folder are just links to those files.
    You can delete the downloaded archives, but if you need to reinstall or change the mod you'd have to re download it.
    FYI, the files in the game folder report a false size when you look at them.  They show the size of the real file but are actually extremely tiny.  It gives the false impression that you're using more disk space than you are.
  10. showler's post in Extensions will not delete even after a complete O/S reinstallation was marked as the answer   
    You don't.  They're part of Vortex.
  11. showler's post in Please explain what "Save all changes", "Revert all changes, and "Use newer file for all changes" actually do was marked as the answer   
    I believe it uses the newer of the two files, the one in the game directory or the one in the deployment folder.
    So if you have a case where the file has been replaced by an older version somehow it will keep the newer version rather than either saving all or reverting all.
  12. showler's post in Extension Downloads was marked as the answer   
    Why do people keep thinking this is a problem?
    Vortex comes packaged with extensions for dozens of games.  If it keeps re-downloading and re-installing the extension, that's because it is supposed to be there.  It's part of Vortex.
    The extensions are tiny.  Just leave them alone.
  13. showler's post in Deleting a published collection or collections. was marked as the answer   
    For now you can unpublish them, I believe.  Pretty much the same as making them hidden.
  14. showler's post in Can you backup and later restore a modded Fallout 4 and the "workfolders" to another drive? was marked as the answer   
    The reason why you purge your mods is that the files in your data directory are not real files, they are just links.  But if you copy them to another drive, Windows will treat them as real files and you'll take up more space than you need.  Also, when you restore them later Vortex will be confused by them now being real files rather than links.
  15. showler's post in Vortex mod storage question was marked as the answer   
    You're not actually losing that space.  It's a false report by Windows.
    If you have a 1TB drive and you install 200GB of mods you should be able to put 1.2TB on the drive as far as Windows is concerned.
  16. showler's post in vortex mods refuse to install was marked as the answer   
    First, you can install a free VPN to see if your ISP is interfering.
    Otherwise, follow the directions here:  https://help.nexusmods.com/article/92-im-having-download-issues-what-can-i-do
  17. showler's post in I cannot run Vortex was marked as the answer   
    To be clear, the mods need to be installed on the same drive as the game.  Not Vortex.
    You can set a directory for the mods for each game in the settings.
  18. showler's post in How to make a mod for Vortex. was marked as the answer   
    Vortex INSTALLS the mod.
    Modengine2 makes the game capable of using the mod.
    Similar to Bethesda games where Vortex can install all the mods, but some of them are going to need the script extender in order to function.
    It's not misleading...it's two different functions.
  19. showler's post in Uninstall/Reinstall Does Not Replace All Files was marked as the answer   
    Masterlist errors usually result from failure to connect to GitHub.
    Try a free VPN and see if it fixes the problem.  That will tell you if your ISP is messing with things in a bad way.
  20. showler's post in Thief games was marked as the answer   
    There are mods for thousands of different games on the website.
    But Vortex can only install mods for a few hundred of them.
    Others might need a different mod manager, or it might need you to place the files in the right place on your own.
    Pick a mod for the game and read the mod page to see if they give you installation instructions.
  21. showler's post in After a Windows update, old saves (.F4se) not showing to load. New saves now have (.fos) extension. How do I retrieve my old saves? was marked as the answer   
    ".f4se" files are called co-saves.  There should be one for every regular save.
    ".fos" files are the actual game saves.
    The game save file saves all the information the game normally uses and the co-save saves the information used by F4SE based mods that need to store extra information.
    If you had a similar incident to me, you'll need to go into your Steam install folder (something like c:/programfiles(x86)/Steam), then find a folder called "userdata" and then you'll find a bunch of folders with numbers for names.  Sort by most recent and check them until you find your .fos save files and then copy them back to your "my games/Fallout 4/saves" directory so that they are back with the matching co-saves.
  22. showler's post in unable to see games in the unmanaged section of vortex mod manager was marked as the answer   
    Neither of those games are on the Supported Games list.  The website hosts mods for a vastly larger number of games than Vortex can manage.

    On the Extensions tab, click the "show bundled" button and check if any extensions are disabled.
