plain & simple. how do you Update mods?

ok, 1st of all I'm rarely on the forums so I apologize if this is in the wrong place, much has changed since I was last here and I found it very confusing. I WAS searching the bg3 forum for help. ANYWAY, I got bg3 for Christmas & was modding it, vortex said I needed a few things, ok thats fine. 1 thing I had to get was the divine tool (again no issue) the ISSUE is vortex started screaming at me that I needed 2 extra files from a website (blue pop-up) [ https://github.com/Norbyte/lslib ] so I downloaded the files at the bottom & all I'm told is (for 1 of them) extract it to the {External\gplex\ directory } WTH IS External\gplex? & do I even need it & its friend? unless I want to create mods. (I don't intend to) so I searched my PC for every relevant word/combination I could think of (bg3 and Larian too) so I turned to Google & all I found were more people confused & no answers. so I turn to you guys, please help me. do I even need these 2 files? Every YouTube video I watch that downloads the divine tool doesn't even MENTION these files. if not that would be awesome & I may do a happy dance lol

is there a mod that tracks the bugs in jars? if so i cant seem to find it. after ae released my ocd has compelled me to collect everything available to my new house, including the jars & using a youtube vid is mildly annoying :tongue:

skyrim keeps corrupting all my saves, but when i restart skyrim everything is fine again. the biggest issues that my tiny brain can see are i cant load in game, its annoying to restart skyrim & very confusing. Anyone know wtf is going on? or at least a wild stab in the dark? lol. btw if it matters im using skyrim skyrim se + ae/downgrade. it was doing it before downgrade though. also, it doesn't do it often enough to be able to test which mod might me causing it. Edit: ive noticed it happening alot more often after the downgrade now that i think of it

while im waiting for skyrim to move, i have a question. in settings -> vortex -> multi user mode i have it set to (unintentionally) shared i recently learned thats why my profiles are sharing settings & just did nothing about it due to the confusing / complaced nature of fixing it. i made a post about it before but cant find it now. anyway, is there anything i can do to make THAT easier before clicking deploy?

because of the anniversery update to skyrim i need to move it from my external hard drive to c drive, that one is easy enough. my issue is moving the mods i have (200+) could someone please tell me how to do this as ive never done it before? or better yet point me in the direction of a good tutorial that will do the trick.

ok, ty vm

so, just to be clear, (cuz i have an issue with that sometimes lol) i need to reinstall skse64, uninstall ae & ignore what loot says about installing ae?

So sorry if this doesnt belong here, i couldnt thing think of / find a better place. so after stopping my skyrim updates a few weeks ago recently i heard the "mod-pocalypse" wasnt NEARLY as bad as we thought it was going to be & updated skyrim & went looking for the newest skse version 2.0.20 but apparently i had that version, but LOOT said i needed to update to Preliminary AE Build. Ok then, no big deal, so i delete my old skse & install the new Preliminary AE Build just like i have a hundred times before. only now skyrim is acting like it just updated (duh) & skse hasnt been updated yet. i uploaded an image showing what LOOT is telling me now + showing that the new skse IS installed. so anyone have any clue what to do? have i installed it wrong? or do i need skse & ae? or what?

im trying to find (& failing) a mod that displays what skills a race is good at at character creation. i cant seem to find one. does anyone know of one? or am i SOL?

i dunno, i assumed that was normal Edit #1 : ok this is odd, the 1st time i tried i just canceled out of everything it wanted & exited vortex, set it back to sharing till i heard back from you. but now its not? w/e i guess. gonna see if settings will save different per profile now & edit #2 in a few. Edit #2 nvm forget it, i was wrong, NOW putting it on per user almost looks like it has reset EVERYTHING on vortex. maybe its old man syndrome but i havent got the pationce to go through all that again so ill just have to stay on shared i guess. ty vm for your effort anyway :sad:

<sigh> it was shared, but now im confused about something else. it wants me to make a new download folder for all my games, wont that mean ill not have access for all my games mods? what do i do about this? sorry for sounding like an idiot but its been a long time since i set up vortex & i barely remember anything.

posting imgur link to show below ... essentially the lexy profile is a clone of the chris one & the thing is the game settings = yes thing ------ https://imgur.com/a/aOLqhsn

my vortex profiles for skyrim se are still sharing game settings even though i have the thing checked for them not to. can someone please tell me how to fix this? or is there something im not understanding?

now that i think of it, it DID all start (i think) around the time i got a new pc a few years ago, put everything on external hard drive, & started using vortex all at once. just never made the connection i guess. if i have to move skyrim back to c drive i will just live with it lol, i BARELY figured out vortex & theres alot ive forgotten in the setup part & dont want to deal with the mod stuff (old man syndrome :tongue: ) ty vm for the help & sorry to have wasted your time. :sad:
