showler, I was unaware of the difference in mod handling. I had assumed that since all mods previously installed via Vortex showed in the FO4 Mod list, that they all would be there. Thanks for the instruction. So I loaded the game and went to where the mod should show its effect and sure enough there it was. So now I know just to ignore the FO4 built-in Mod list when using Vortex. All is well. Thanks. JL

I've been using Vortex for a while and it's been working fine. But today I downloaded a mod and installed it in Fallout 4 via Vortex as I've done with the other mods but there's a problem. It's there and enabled in Vortex. But in the game menu in Fallout 4 it doesn't show up with all the other previously installed mods. Vortext does not indicate any problems. I don't know if the problem is in Vortext or in Fallout 4. Any way to fix this so the mod shows up in the game and is usable? JL

Never mind, I figured it out.

After finishing New California, how do I play New Vegas again? I finished New Vegas a long time ago and recently finished New California. I'd like to play New Vegas again from the beginning but I can't see how to get back to the game because the shortcut has been taken over by New California. Tried creating a new shortcut but nothing happens.

I noticed when scanning my drive with Tree Size that it shows in AppData\Roaming\Vortex\falloutnv\mods is the executable for a falloutnv patch. But also in AppData\Roaming\Vortex\downloads\falloutnv is the zipped executable that I had downloaded. Does this zip file need to be left there? I'm trying to free up space and I don't know if the zip needs to be there or not. I wouldn't think so as long as the patch is left in the other folder. Any thoughts about this? JL

Thanks for the replies. These give me the information I need to know what to do. Appreciate it.

I have installed Fallout New California and with the latest patch of v213 to v221 I now have what seems duplication inside Vortex. Inside \Vortext\falloutnv\mods is a subfolder for the patch with the patch executable in it. But then in \Vortex\downloads\\falloutnv is what I believe is the .7z file I downloaded from the site. Are both of these needed to run the FONVNC game properly? Can I remove one of them without any side effect? I ask because I migrated from 1TB HDD to a 500GB SSD and now I see articles that say an SSD runs best when free space is kept a close as possible to a minimum of 50%. Right now I'm at 46% free and I'd like to increase that especially if I can get rid of any clutter duplication. JL

Sometimes I have no problem purchasing items then other times I can't purchase anything. It acts like I can't just outright purchase items but must sell and purchase at the same time. I've noticed that at the top of the transaction window, it says 0 caps for both me and the store. Is Gun Runners a barter only so you -must- sell if you want to purchase? JL
