rmm200's post in Rada away doesn't heal my radiation damage was marked as the answer
Primary source of help for in-games has to be the game support forum. That includes developing mods for that game.
Here we mostly try to help with Vortex related problems.
I will say, in your case, start a new fallout 4 profile that includes only your mod. See if you can reproduce your error there.
If no, add back half your mod list. Keep going, half at a time, until you isolate your problem.

rmm200's post in NMM and Vortex together. was marked as the answer
Just don't try to use both Vortex and NMM on the same game. You will not be happy with the results.
Not surprisingly, those of us on here would prefer Vortex over NMM on all games. Even MO 2 would be better than NMM.

All of your other files look correct. Delete that esp and tell Steam to validate your installation.

rmm200's post in SKSE update problems and questions was marked as the answer
You are over-thinking this.
SKSE and FNIS are both installed in the game directory - so the game has to be installed.
1) Verify what version of Skyrim you are running. You find it by selecting the executable. Mine is SkyrimSE.exe. Open Properties.
On the Detals tab, it says mine is 1.6.353.0. Write yours down.
2) Download the appropriate version of SKSE from skse.silverlock.org. Nowhere else.
3) Drag the file you downloaded to the Vortex file drop area.
4) Install it.
5) Double click that file line to open the mod details panel. Scroll down to Mod Type. Select Engine Injector.
6) Deploy.
Congratulations - SKSE is done. There is no dependency with FNIS; they are unrelated applications.
Install FNIS from Nexusmods, in a similar manner. Mod type for FNIS is Default. Correct the path if necessary on the Dashboard. Congratulations - FNIS is done.
Now you can worry about your mods. Latest FNIS is good for all. If the mod has a SKSE dependency, make sure to match the SKSE you installed.
Done. Go play the game.

rmm200's post in Anyone know if I can tell what time and date the mod was installed? was marked as the answer
Pro tip: Click that column header to sort by installation time.
Want to see the last ten mods you installed? There they are, all together at the end of the list.

rmm200's post in No deployment method available was marked as the answer
Since this was not mentioned before:
Your Mod Staging folder must be on the same drive as it's game. It can be internal, it can be external.
Network drive not recommended for performance reasons. And it has to be formatted correctly.
If not, you will get a message that no deployment methods are available.

rmm200's post in Hard Drive Corrupt; Vortex no longer works was marked as the answer
If you really have nothing to save, you can delete the folder AppData/Roaming/Vortex.
That will remove all your profiles and configuration data, and should let you start clean.
As long as Downloads was not on the ill-fated D rive, you should not have to download your mods again.

rmm200's post in Using Loot with Vortex But Help Needed not a clue what im doing was marked as the answer
Loot is part of Vortex. Don't run it separately.
And especially - don't clean Bethesda files.

rmm200's post in How to rollback AE so that Vortex recognizes the change was marked as the answer
Step by step.
Grab the version of SkyrimSE.exe that you want to use.
Run 7-zip and create an archive of that executable.. Name it something like "Downgrade SkyrimSE.zip"
Drag that archive to the Vortex mod window.
Install it.
Double click on it's mod line which opens a Details window.
Scroll down to Mod Type and click the dropdown. Select Engine Injector.
Enable
Deploy
As long as this mod stays enabled, Skyrin SE will be reverted on Deploy.

From posts in that topic - I think they already fixed it.

rmm200's post in Moving Steam Game library to a different drive? was marked as the answer
Most important: For each game you move, Purge your mods from within Vortex. That removes the hard links.
So:
1) Purge all affected mods
2) Use Steam to move your games. Don't do it yourself; the catalog has to be updated by Steam
3) Tell Vortex where the game is now.
4) Update your mod staging directory location under Vortex Settings. Vortex will move it to the correct drive.
5) Activate your game Profiles and Deploy. Links for all of your enabled mods will be restored.
Come back here when you get stuck on a piece of this. I just say the way it should work; your mileage may differ.
Edited to add:
Say you just move your game directory without Purge. What happens?
Well Windows in it's immense wisdom will do a "Deep Copy". Each hard link will be replaced by an actual copy of your mod.
Now when you start Vortex, it sees a real copy of your mods in the game directory, and thinks you installed them manually.
Best case: all of your mods are flagged as redundant. Things go downhill rapidly from there.

rmm200's post in Game Won't Launch on New Monitor was marked as the answer
Launch Fallout 4 from Steam.
Open Options dialogue.
Check your resolution and full screen or windowed.
Close Fallout 4
Launch the way you normally do.
Changing monitors and resolution can indeed keep the game from opening.

rmm200's post in Can you add this game? was marked as the answer
From the top:
Vortex is a mod manager. It does not supply mods. It will happily install your "crappy or untrustworthy mods" from anywhere.
So you still need to look around for the mods you want.
To install mods, Vortex needs an extension to tell it how. Installed extensions are listed under the "Extensions" tab.
I was unable to find an existing extension for "My time at Sandrock".
So... you can wait for a user like yourself to post an extension for the game, or write one yourself and help everyone out.
Instructions are readily available here.

rmm200's post in SSE crash on load issues - I'd love help was marked as the answer
I am afraid you are in a "divide and conquer" situation.
Disable half your mods and Deploy.
Game does not load? Divide that half in half and try again.
Game does load? Add half the remaining mods and try again.
You get the idea. Eventually you will wind up with a small set that keeps the game from loading.
Let us know how it goes.

Go here:

Click the Download latest button.
Execute the downloaded installer.

rmm200's post in About uninstalling mods was marked as the answer
Go to mod page in Vortex.
Click on Enabled button next to Horizon. That disables it.
Click Deploy.
Done. Now run a save prior to ever enabling Horizon. Any save after that is effectively broken; mod traces linger in saves.
And a strong suggestion: Clone your default Fallout 4 profile. Call it Horizon. Select separate saves and ini.
Import some of your Horizon saves to that profile.
Now, whenever you get the urge, you can play Horizon just by selecting that profile. That is what profiles are for.

rmm200's post in impossible de lancer Skyrim via vortex was marked as the answer
Well lets start simple. Ignore your mods - they are not the problem.
You are using the wrong version of SKSE. It has to match the Skyrim SE version you are running.
Get it from skse.silverlock.org. Make sure you download the correct one.
Install it by dragging it to the Vortex mod window.
Come back when you can launch Skyrim from Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/skse64_loader.exe without errors. Or when you get stuck.

rmm200's post in Help need I, Please FF6 PR was marked as the answer
If you open Vortex and click on the Extensions tab, you can see all the supported games.
Final Fantasy 6 is not there...
So you have two choices; find a user contributed Vortex extension for Final Fantasy 6 (I could not find one),
or you or some like-minded gamer has to write one. All documentation is available; for most games it is not that hard a process.

rmm200's post in bodyslide situation with MO2 was marked as the answer
This is really the wrong place to ask....
MO 2 support is on Discord.
Start here:
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194?tab=posts
And then click on the Discord link. You will be invited to join the MO 2 group.
As for us - we support Vortex here.

rmm200's post in something is clearly wrong here (please help) was marked as the answer
We are here to help you with installing mods.
Making the mods work correctly - not so much.
You are better off asking on the Skyrim SE technical support forum.
I will say your problem is not with Caliente or Bodyslide. Those are standard mods used by thousands of people.

rmm200's post in Vortex Not Allowing Hardlink Deployment Option was marked as the answer
For a start, your mod staging directory must be on the same drive as your game.
That is a Windows restriction with hard links.
Also, I don't recommend putting anything in AppData. The mod staging directory can get huge, and AppData is kind of invisible.

rmm200's post in Fed Tamed Animals' Health No Regen was marked as the answer
Well all I can tell from your post is that you are in the wrong place...
This forum if for the mod manager Vortex. Can't install a mod? Post here.
Game specific problems should be addressed in that specific game's support topic.
Not that I know what game you are referencing. Next time give some context.

rmm200's post in When I launch Skyrim, It immediately crashes. was marked as the answer
Nice log; unrelated to your problem.
Click Purge on your Vortex mod page. Does Skyrim launch? If not, clean your game directory and have Steam Validate.
Typically Skyrim failing to launch is using a LE mod with Skyrim, an LE BSA, or a missing Master.

rmm200's post in Moving Vortex out from Program Files, or new install? was marked as the answer
Select Custom Install. It lets you pick the location .
I would not worry much about the Vortex Executable. Windows says Program Files is the right location for those.
Don't forget another C: space hog. Vortex puts all your profile data and settings in AppData.
Just make sure all your games and mod staging directory are on the same gaming SSD, and you should be good to go.
