@reoako2 Vortex does indeed work with Windows 11. I have three gaming computers (I collect them) running Windows 11 Pro 64-bit. Vortex is alive and well on all three. I know this information doesn't help you resolve any problem you may be having. If you could explain in more detail, then perhaps some knowledgeable person could be of assistance.

@DarkVale1 is right. If you are going to use horses, then Convenient Horses is an absolute must. Once you have this mod and have selected your horse, you'll never want to walk again.

Have you looked at Properties for "Vortex.exe" and its compatibility settings?

Vortex dashboard -----> Settings -----> Mods

In "Forums" click on your forum ID in the upper right hand corner, then select "Profile," and then click on "See my activity," which is on the right hand side just below the cover photo. In my case, this brings up 109 pages of content. However, a number of game specific posts are missing. The reason for that is probably because the content has not yet been migrated into the new Nexus Mods setup.

Yes. Use any name you like. I always use the name that I've given to my player character.

Well, I do that also. Is that caution or paranoia?

To "future proof" your game saves, you may want to rename your "saves" directory every time you close your game for the day. I have done this for years in order to prevent Steam from meddling with my saves. So far it has worked.

To avoid reordering, turn on plugin management, order your mods, and then turn off plugin management in the Vortex settings for Starfield. When next you load your game, the mods retain the preferred load order. You can verify that by clicking on "View Plugins File." The reordering issue is probably a bug, as showler notes in the following post. My solution is a workaround that I am using until the problem is properly rectified in Vortex.

The two "Not Managed" plugins are part and parcel of the vanilla game that you downloaded. That is why they are not managed by Vortex and why they cannot be moved in the load order.

There are no options applicable to my situation. Fatigued by Skyrim SE updates, I simply killed the Steam update process before the AE edition appeared. I am still playing 1.5.97.0. I have downloaded and saved an enormous inventory of Skyrim SE mods from that era and so have not yet run out of interesting things to do. I wonder - how many Skyrim SE players are still using this version?

Thank you for the updated extension. For me, it worked as advertised. I enabled plugin management, deployed, quickly sorted my mods, and then turned off plugin management, thereby retaining the load order that I had established.

+1 I'm on my umpteenth playthrough. Because of all the wonderful new mods being created, every one of my playthroughs is different.

Moderator, please lock this thread. Bethesda Derangement Syndrome (BDS) has driven it off the rails.

Why do you think Bethesda's actions are disrespectful toward those who have paid for a game license? That is the more fundamental question.

Agreed. That is exactly why I had distinguished the two concepts by saying "has every right legally and morally" rather than conflating them by saying "has every right legally and therefore morally."

If this is a Vortex issue, then you're best served by posting it here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/forum/4306-vortex-support/

In response to some of the absurd claims and analogies proffered in this thread, please note the following paragraphs from the Skyrim EULA (full text can be found on Steam): "LICENSE. Subject to this Agreement and its terms and conditions, LICENSOR hereby grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right and license to use one copy of the Software for your personal, non-commercial use on a single home or portable console or computer. The Software is being licensed to you and you hereby acknowledge that no title or ownership in the Software is being transferred or assigned and this Agreement should not be construed as a sale or transfer of any rights in the Software. All rights not specifically granted under this Agreement are reserved by LICENSOR and, as applicable, its licensors. OWNERSHIP.

The Software is protected by United States copyright law and applicable copyright laws and treaties throughout the world." Summary: Bethesda grants a license to use Skyrim. Bethesda does not transfer ownership of Skyrim. (BTW, this is a standard game EULA.)

What I think. Firstly, Bethesda has every right legally and morally to do this, since these games are their lawful intellectual property. Secondly, Modders have every right legally and morally to participate in the VCP, should they wish to do so. Thirdly, I have every right legally and morally NOT to buy mods from Bethesda or any other mod vendor. (This is a right that I have exercised in the past and will continue to exercise in the future.) Fourthly, I'm not going to lose any sleep over this vastly overblown issue.

To find your game forum, click on Forums at the top of this page and scroll all the way down the page to Nexus Mods Game Forums.

To locate friends, go to the Nexus Mods home page, click on My Profile, and append "?tab=friends" to the My Profile address.

Not all your mods. Only the SKSE dependent mods shown in the SKSE Plugin Loader list.

Happy gaming! And thank you for reporting your solution. This will be helpful to others.

Unfortunately, I don't have even a hint of a solution for your problem. Have you searched the Vortex support forums for help? There are many in these forums more knowledgeable than I who could offer you help. Let's hope one of them stops by.

Did you in fact disable GPU acceleration to determine whether or not this is a GPU issue? Is that what your statement means? Uninstalling Vortex does not uninstall your mods. That would happen only if you deleted your Vortex folder in AppData and your Mod Staging Folder, wherever that might be.
